I've stayed at this hotel twice and have enjoyed my stay each time. Both Chocolate Lake and the hotel are special places in Halifax! If you have already visited their website, I'm sure the charm of the lake and the dog Cocoa. Their photos are far better than mine, but I uploaded some to show they are in fact nice... more

Fitness and pool areas were not ready during our stay, otherwise renos are comfortable and modern, staff were great in processing a gift card for the stay, all in all significantly better than we expected from a Best Western hotel! more

Pros: We had a nice room on the top floor with flat screen tv, tasteful decor, king size bed and a nice view on the little lake. Very comfy lobby. Nice decor in general in the hotel. Computers available 24 hours a day. The chocolate lab is pretty cute. Cons: A bit on the pricey side for a place with... more

Stayed here for a couple days on a business trip. It was a beautiful place. My room overlooked the lake, which is right next to the hotel. They have a really friendly chocolate lab named Coco to go along with the chocolate theme. The front lobby even smells like chocolate. You can tell they have put a lot of work... more

Despite the fact that they're currently undergoing some renovations (pool, entrance area) I was suitably impressed with both their location and level of service. Got a free up-grade too. Staff was friendly and attentive without being too familiar. Nice location overlooking a small lake. more

Our room was not ready when we checked in at 3:30pm, and we were not called when it was ready as we were told we would be, so we waited an hour for nothing. The reason we were given after we got into the room was that there were no facecloths in the room - what hotel runs out of... more
