"Good location with comfortable beds, Denny's Restaurant(24/7)."

Located in Dartmouth just off a major highway to downtown Halifax via McDonald Bridge. Very clean and spacious room we had a King suite to celebrate our Anniversary before taking the VIA rail train(The Ocean)to Montreal in the morning. Downtown Halifax was busy as University and college students were going back. Was nice to have a Denny's attached to the hotel as not many options open after 11:00 pm.
