 | Lord Nelson Hotel: Great Potential

I've stayed at the Lord Nelson on two separate occassions in 1999 and 2000. The Lord Nelson gained recent fame by housing the relatives of the Swiss Air victims in 1998.
During both of my visits the hotel was undergoing some impressive, but much-needed renovations. I've since been in the hotel (with the renovations complete), and it is remarkably well appointed now. There is marble everywhere and apparently every room has been completely re-done.
The guest rooms are as spacious as any of the more expensive hotels in town, and there is an upscale restaurant in the lobby.
I had three bad experiences on my two visits - on the first visit I checked in and went to my room, only to discover it hadn't been made up yet. There had been a hell of a party there the night before. But no harm done, I got another room. Then I ordered room service that took over an hour to arrive. It was cold, but still pretty good. On the second (and last) visit, I returned from a business meeting to find that I had been checked out. My bag had been packed for me and placed in storage, and my non-disposable razor had been disposed of. That really pissed me off and I haven't been back.
Despite these incidents I think the Hotel is a good bet while staying in Halifax.
Excellent location, friendly staff, nice rooms, and a fitness facility.

 Excellent Location:) by PA2AKgirl
Also, the Lord Nelson, we were told was closer to the retail and nightlife area AND was across from gardens.
And the best news yet: When we got there, we got an upgrade! Another suite for Bobby and Katey! Ya know, every single time that I have had a hotel room in Canada, I've gotten upgraded.
It was another room with a great view, though the bathroom wasn't as cool. This suite also had 2 full beds rather than 1 king. All in all, Bobby and I were very pleasantly surprised with the room. Halifax, that weekend, had an air show and many people in town. We were very lucky to get a room at all.

The Lord Nelson is right off of Spring Garden Road which is a great place to be in Halifax. It is a nice hotel that is directly across from the Public Gardens.
