Location
This was the hotel I always used when I visited Halifax. It has really gone downhill. Stayed for 5 days—only 1 clean. Valet parking is gone.

Location: Teriffic - c.100m away from bus stop from where there is a direct service to the airport; hotel is a nexus for the pedways; eastern end of the boardwalk & ferry terminal are 2 streets down & the citadel a few…

Lee-AnneCanadaThe staff were amazing. Good check in and check out procedures.
Our fridge was broken and smelly. Furniture was worn and a few stains on bed skirt and bathroom tiles. It is a dated property and is a little tired.
HarrietCanadaOld building that needs renovations
Clean washroom
Rug on floor and old textured wall paper that can’t be cleaned

- That the desk is staffed when you land, and that the room is held past cut-off.
- The pet fee and any size limit, which is where these bookings usually come apart.
- Whether there is room for a pickup, a trailer or a van, not just a car.

Questions about The Barrington Hotel
What time is check-in and check-out at The Barrington Hotel?
Check-in is from 3:00 PM. Check-out is by 11:00 AM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.
Does The Barrington Hotel allow pets?
No — the property states that pets are not allowed.
Is there parking at The Barrington Hotel?
Yes — parking is available on site at a charge the property sets. We check the rate and whether a space can be reserved against your dates.
Does The Barrington Hotel have a pool?
Yes — a pool is listed among the property's facilities. Seasonal closures are common, so we'll confirm it's open for your dates.
Is breakfast included at The Barrington Hotel?
Breakfast is offered at the property. Whether it's included depends on the rate — the board type is shown on each room once you put your dates in.
Does The Barrington Hotel have Wi-Fi?
Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.
Can I book a block of rooms at The Barrington Hotel?
The property lists meeting and banquet space, which usually means it handles group business — but how many rooms it will hold at once, for how long, and at what rate are set case by case and are not in any feed. Tell us the dates and the number of rooms and we'll get those terms from the property in writing before anything is charged.
Does The Barrington Hotel have wheelchair accessible rooms?
The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.
Can I check in late at The Barrington Hotel?
The property lists a front desk staffed 24 hours, so a late arrival should be possible. Standard check-in is from 3:00 PM. Rooms are still released after a cut-off at some properties regardless of the desk hours, so tell us your arrival time and we'll have them hold it.
How do I book The Barrington Hotel?
Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
