Four Points by Sheraton Halifax

Alex Ts review is bang on. My stay had the same issues. How a cleaner could leave a washroom with many long black hairs all over the place makes me question their cleaning standards.
Having a room outside the elevator is bad for two reasons, you have noise from people in the hall and very loud noise from the busy street corner right outside your window.
I went to the pool where there were no towels, and after calling the front desk and asking for more they couldn’t be bothered to bring any.
Horrible guest service, cleanliness and sleep.

Stayed here over the weekend with my husband. Over all great hotel everything was clean and the beds were very comfy, which is hard to find in most hotels.
The hotel was walking distance to everything witch was nice too.
The overnight parking was a bit expensive at $ 22.00 over night. Which I believe they charged us because we booked with Expedia and not with them directly. Which brought our sale price up to pretty much regular price after all was said and done. So if you are parking your car with them you might want to factor that in.

I had to fly to Halifax from Toronto in a days notice and didn’t have time to Pre book any hotels or anything. I got a job up here that had a quick start time so I was going to be apartment shopping.
I stayed at the Four Points because it was right near the Budget car rental kiosk and I didn’t want to walk far. When I arrived at the desk I was chatting to the staff about my situation, and they were super helpful and well knowledgeable about the area. I found a Map of Halifax and they crossed out all the ghetto areas of the town to avoid looking for apartments, as well as letting me know which ones have roaches or mice.
When I got to my room I was a little concerned because I could hear my neighbor’s music outside of my door. But as soon as I went in I didn’t hear a thing! My entire stay there was really quiet.
I didn’t use the pool but the gym there was above average for a hotel. They actually had a nice dual pulley machine, the same ones found in many GoodLife Fitness’, as well as dumbbells up to 50 pounds. Not the heaviest weights, but other hotels sometimes only have 30 pound dumbbells so this was good. Plus the cables went up to around 250 so you could do some decent work there. Obviously not going to replace a real gym but I was pleasantly surprised.
All in all a great hotel. My room was really clean. No semen on the pillows or other pubic hairs on the floor like other reviewers said. I’ll give it 5 stars because the staff was so awesome and helpful. They even gave me a random $ 100 off discount at the end of it all. That was unexpected and fantastic. I’d recommend the Four Points

Very comfortable and good service. You can’t beat the location if you are doing business or need a central hub to enjoy Halifax and the surrounding area.

Upon arrival, the Sheraton was so promising. That is, until we were greeted by two long and curly pubic hairs in the bathroom. Believe it or not, it was downhill from there.
Basic cleanliness is a basic standard for most hotels — and certainly for ones charging over $ 100 a night. If I were a smarter person, I would have left after the pubic hair encounter (one lodged on the top of the toilet seat, another on the floor — honestly, hotels in Vietnam were cleaner).
Unfortunately, my partner and I stayed for long enough to experience thumping bass and screaming outside of our street level window (deceptively marketed as a 2^nd story room) at 2am, repulsive coffee, an exorbitant parking charge (we were led to believe it was flat rate parking, until the nasty $ 20 per night bill came the morning of our departure). Breakfast wasn’t included, and someone really needs to tell Sheraton that hotel rooms on the ground floor (don’t be fooled by the «2^nd floor» designation) are a bad idea, unless your guests enjoy being either ogled at by pedestrians or living like cave people with the curtains shut all day long.
In short, overpriced, dirty, and underserviced. Don’t waste your money, there are plenty of hotels at a similar price point where they actually clean up the previous guests’ pubic hairs.

When booking your hotel, are you looking for:
— thumping base music shaking your room walls at 1 AM onward?
— a ground floor room with no opportunities to open the curtains?
— the homely sound of drunk people screaming outside your window for sustained periods?
— discovering what I assume to be little greeting pubic hairs left strategically in the bathroom?
— empty conditioner bottles?
— burning plastic odor throughout the building?
— cleaning staff gently knocking on your door in the morning to wake you up so they can clean?
— $ 20/​night for parking.
— breakfast NOT included
If no, steer clear.
One star for a comfortable bed (yes they had comfortable beds).

When visiting Halifax I usually stay at the Four Points because of the location. It’s right downtown near the waterfront, very close to many great restaurants and downtown shopping.
The rooms have always been clean a d the beds are amazingly comfortable.
Parking is $ 20 a night which isn’t too bad in downtown Halifax.
The pool and jacuzzi are both clean and the gym has a lot of good equipment.
My only complaint is the lack of breakfast. I would like a muffin in the morning for the price.

Booked this Hotel back in November, actually it was «Black Friday» they had a huge room sale on. Double Queen for $ 88.00! So my husband and I planned a night out on the town. Well what we considered a night on the town to be at our age. The hotel was very clean, the rooms were spectacular! Clean, big and most of all the beds were amazing, my first amazing sleep in a hotel. The service was great and everyone was helpful and friendly. There was some wasted space that could have been utilized well when exiting on each floor. Give it some excitement with a nice table and an arrangement of some sort or nice loungers for sitting. Location isn’t the best but it was nice to walk around downtown hand and hand with my husband! Thanks Four Points by Sheraton for the GREAT stay!

I spent the weekend in Halifax hanging with my friends.
We stayed at the Four Points by Sheraton. After looking at prices online, we chose this hotel because it was the cheapest one downtown. We booked online about a month ago and it was $ 140/​night ($ 145/​night if you wanted parking).
My room faced a courtyard and there was a wedding there yesterday.
The bed was comfy. WIFI was included and it was speedy. Parking was apparently $ 25 a night. There was a mini fridge in the room and a free bottle of water. If you want to make coffee or tea, there are supplies in the room.
Bars and restaurants are just a short walk away.
I’d stay here again.

Forget you and your lack of check-​in parking. You have to double-​park to check in, so you can use your room key to get *INTO* the parking garage. Seriously?

I’ll be honest, throwing a bachelorette isn’t really a good way to understand the merits of a hotel. Especially when all your friends are from Dartmouth and the rum based cocktail we enjoyed was, let’s face it, more rum than cocktail.
With that preface: Overall, I thought the Sheraton was a decent enough place. A solid OK. A little on the pricey side, I thought, for the state of the rooms, but generally, nice enough. We had a couple of small issues in our rooms (a sticky weird spill, and cigarette smell in one of the bathrooms), but they totally dealt with the issues quickly and were very helpful.
You’re paying for location here — and as long as you’re ok with that, the Sheraton Four Points will nail it. It’s central, there’s parking, and you can make it to hangover brunch at the Triangle in four minutes. Which is important. Obviously.

Very nice hotel by Sheraton, about 6 – 7 storey high. Located near downtown Toronto. Many eateries within 5 –10 minutes walk, such as Mckelvies and five fishermen. Got free wifi and complimentary bottle of water in the room. They have their own private underground parking garage but charges $ 25 a night.
Got two computers in the lobby if you needed.
The room is very clean, basic toiletries available in the bathroom. Small coffee maker in the room, but they also have free coffee in the lobby every morning so you can just grab one to work before leaving the hotel.

At first glance, I thought it was a decent hotel. The rooms that do not have a view have a window that overlooks an interesting fake courtyard that is a throwback to a Halifax of the past. Then I found out the price. Not exactly cheap, and being both a former employee of a number of hotels and a frequent guest when away I can spot a bad deal when I see one. There is no breakfast included and the free wi-​fi is not consistent. The rooms are clean, but for the price they should be spotless. The conference facilities are average, but nothing to write home about.
The kicker, however, was around 3 am one night the fire alarm started to go off. The staff was unable to give us any information on what was going on and couldn’t even tell us whether we needed to evacuate. Some 20 minutes later they informed us there was no fire, but was an issue with their alarm system. The alarm then continued to periodically turn on and off for over 3 hours. The next morning at checkout we asked if we were going to be compensated and were told that we would not as it was «an act of God». I’m no religious authority, but I’m willing to bet God didn’t mess with the fire alarms as part of some ‘master plan’. This was not a hurricane or some natural disaster that caused a power outage. Chances are there was some forgotten maintenance that should have been made on the system. We were not once apologized to for being inconvenienced and the staff at the front desk were obviously exasperated with us for even asking. I would even go as far as to state that they were borderline rude. And in the hotel industry, that is just not to be tolerated.
If you are staying in Halifax, I’d lay your head elsewhere. There are a number of really nice options with great locations, better prices and much better service.

I recently stayed here for a conference. Location was great, so that’s why it got two stars. The bad? The service in the hotel restaurant, called the Niche, was terrible… very slow even when there were hardly any customers there. Even worse, this hotel has the SLOWEST elevators I have ever seen, and I have stayed in many hotels across the world. The elevators alone significantly and negatively impacted my stay in Halifax, they were that bad.

Very nice clean, wifi was good. Staff was friendly and attentive. Central location very pleasant 3 night stay.

My fiancé and I spent the night here for my birthday. We thought it would be fun to get a jacuzzi — and while they do have them, the best we were able to get was a jetted tub. It was ok, but not the same, and the jets were really loud so it was hard to relax.
The bed was comfy and our room was nice and big with two flatscreen televisions. It was good to watch the hockey game. The real downsides were the parking (expensive and underground) and the noise. The street is noisy, we could hear drunk people in the hallway and we could hear bathroom noises from above use (not so romantic).
Overall it was ok. Nothing special, but clean and comfortable. I guess it would be alright for someone traveling but for a nice night out it wasn’t that fantastic.

This hotel is OK. The room was OK. The staff was OK. OK, OK, OK. My stay was OK. Would I stay here again? No.
It’s a utilitarian hotel in a great location, surrounded by other hotels in the same price range that are markedly better. No breakfast (as a business traveller you kind of expect to be able to grab a quick bite). Free wi-​fi – that drops you every 10 minutes.
The power tripped at one point, leaving me in the dark. I looked outside my door to see what was going on. Fortunately the hotel still had power and a horde of zombies was not coming up the hall. After waiting a few minutes I dug up a flashlight and called the front desk and had power back within 10 minutes.
The little things make a difference.

Overall, I give this hotel a «meh». Everything was simply «fine». The room was fine, clean with all the appropriate amentities you would expect in a basic guest room, but with kind of drab décor, and nothing to make it really stand out. The service was fine, but again, nothing special. Nobody was rude to us, everyone was polite and competent in doing their job, but no one was overly friendly either. The décor of the hotel itself was, like our room, clean and… well, you see where I’m going with this, there was nothing particularly wrong with this hotel, there was just nothing particularly great about it either, nothing unique to set it apart from any of its competitors.
It is a great location, within walking distance of just about everything within the downtown core (but then again so are a number of other hotels in this area).
Overall, if you are looking for a nice, simple, dependable place to stay, Four Points is not a bad choice. However, if you’re looking for a place that will really sparkle, and go above and beyond in terms of service, décor, and quality of rooms and amenities, you might want to try someplace different.

A downtown hotel that I always forget about. Its amongst prime city buzz, but with not so much to take it above other nearby stays. The Westin, Radisson, Marriott and Delta seem to take premise over the existence of Four Points, not because its horrible… but just a little bit forgettable.
One bonus would be its close proximity to the Halifax Market, which will soon be moving down to Marginal Road, but plans on keeping certain vendors in its location. Hollis Street is a great place to stay, as this one-​way street has less traffic and lots of historical property to swoon at.
All in all, Four Points is the generic hotel experience with little to set it apart. I’d stay here more for the location or a good rate than its actual tidings, although its crisp interiors and friendly staffers make for a frown-​free stay. Slow and steady wins the race?

As a business traveler, I’m normally in US cities that everybody knows. Washington, D.C., Seattle, Atlanta, etc. A trip to Halifax for me is a real treat compared to the normal meeting-​dinner-​meeting grind. My room at this Sheraton was booked for me, so choice really didn’t factor into where I stayed, but I’ve gotta tell you, this hotel wasn’t too bad!
First, the good:
I was immediately upgraded upon check-​in. I got a room on the top floor with a great view of the parking garage, along with a primo couch. The room was absolutely adequate in every way. All of the amenities were there, including complimentary mouthwash. I’m not used to that one, so it was kinda nice. My favorite feature in the room was the mirror in the bathroom. They applied a chemical to a big square in the middle of the mirror that keeps it from fogging up during a shower. Shaving after a shower has never been so convenient. Those crazy kids and their technology…
The major plus of this hotel is the location. The property is situated right in the heart of the city, and just blocks from the university, bars and restaurants on Argyle Street, and a short 5 minute walk to the Maritime Museum on the waterfront.
The Bad:
The whole place is a little bland. The elevators are awful, and the room, while adequate, is not exactly posh. While I was «upgraded» to the executive floor, I stopped into a colleague’s room on the second level, and there was no difference between his room and mine. Seems like a weird way to reward your loyal customers.
Would I stay here again? Yep. But I suspect I could get a pretty good deal at one of the other hotels downtown. I’d like to go back to Halifax for fun, so we’ll see how they stack up next time.
