Point Pleasant Lodge is great if you are looking for a clean and cheap place to stay in Halifax. Only $50+tax for a single bed and $70+tax for a double you will not find a cheaper place to stay, except for the hostels. Point Pleasant Lodge caters to out of town patients scheduled for appointments at the local hospitals so it can be a busy place and since most of the appointments are very early expect lots of morning noise unless it is the weekend. The rooms are spartan but the beds are comfortable. No air conditioning and no fridge. Some flat screen TV,s but mostly old picture tube types. I think there is a dining room on site and it is not far from lots of venues. The staff are friendly. Quiet on the weekends. A great place to stay for a night or two. This is usually where I stay when I feel the poker itch. I had only one problem. Some of the patrons were smoking in their rooms. You could smell both tabaco and marijuana in the hallway but it was far enough away from my room that I only smelled it when exiting the lodge. I am sure that, had I reported anything to the front desk, they would have dealt with it. I recommend this place for a quick stopover in the city. MW
