Terrible Experience - Avoid at All Costs If I could give zero stars, I would. The Commons Inn in Halifax was an absolute nightmare from start to finish. The facilities are outdated, filthy, and poorly maintained. The room smelled like mildew, the sheets were questionable at best, and the bathroom was barely functional. But the worst part of the experience was the staff, particularly a young Asian male who works there. His attitude was appalling—rude, dismissive, and completely unprofessional. He acted like guests were an inconvenience, rolling his eyes at every question and refusing to offer any sort of assistance. His hostility and arrogance were completely out of place in the hospitality industry. I’ve stayed in budget accommodations before, but this place took the cake for being downright disrespectful and disgusting. Do yourself a favor and stay literally anywhere else.

If your looking for a cheap place to sleep and not spend alot of time in the room than this place is for you. If your looking for a clean and nice room its not for you. The shower leaks water all over the floor, and theres mice in the room running around behind the dresser and mini fridge. Not what you wang to see when trying to fall asleep.

It was run down. It’s affordable and walking distance to the downtown but otherwise has no redeeming features.

I had a terrible stay, our fridge was making lot of noise and we informed the front desk. They never offered to change our room and on top of it told us not to unplug the fridge. We couldn't sleep whole night, when i reached out to expedia customer service, they were no help as well. They told me they are 3rd party, why you guys are charging me? If you can not refund me?

We liked the area, lots of dining opportunities, close to downtown activities. Drawback was no parking, paid parking for a few vehicles in the back. Also the TV in our room could not hook to the service.

The Commons Inn is in a unique area of Halifax, within reasonable walking distance of downtown. The building appears rundown from the outside, however effort has been put into renovating and cleaning up the rooms. If you enjoy character- this lodging is for you.

This place is not as advertised. Its pretty much a mattress on the floor with 2 thin pillows. There was no place to sit. The place was very noisey. There are a lot of drug addicts and very sketchy people hanging around there.There is no parking there. We didnt even stay.We checked in and then checked out. No refund was offered. They just told us that it was our fault for not reading the reviews. You are better off sleeping in the car. Don't waste your time or money by going to this place. You will be disappointed. I could not rate this place a zero star or I would have.
