We are presently staying at this location mainly because it is close to the hospital where I am being treated. It is actually a reasonable walk to the hospital as well as downtown Halifax and is conveniently located.

The entry to the lodge is clean and inviting and the staff at the desk are friendly and helpful. This is where the upside of my review ends.

The rates for a single room are slightly better than we could get at the BW (Best Western) Chocolate Lake (seniors rate). Our rate was $89 a night plus $15 for parking and internet is $11 extra. BW was $105 a night but parking and internet was free and breakfast is included. Distance from the BW to the hospital required we drive and then pay for parking there.

We had stayed at Point Pleasant Lodge 8 months ago and it was undergoing renos. The renos are still ongoing and rhe hallways reflect this. This was disappointing.

The room is small with one double bed and one uncomfortable chair. Other furniture is spartan and there is no drawers to hold underwear and socks. The bathroom is small with no towel racks, they sit on the toilet back. Bathroom ventilation is slow.

The room and bathroom is clean and neat.

The lounge/restaurant on the main level is not open on weekends so we have not seen it yet. I will update later.
