Stopped for a night with our two children after a day trip to Halifax was comfortable with a decent breakfast close walk to garage tim hortons and wendys to get snacks for the night. We stayed on main level but noticed only stairs so make sure you get a main level room.Quiet and comfortable beds fridge and microwave.

There were many good points to this hotel but the downside of staying here could so easily be addressed. Firstly, on arrival we presented a debit card. No, no, you can’t do that. We have to pay a refundable deposit using a credit card which, by luck we had. Please just warn people that you require this as it’s less stressful. When we put it in the card reader it refused the credit card. This was embarrassing as we had to repeat this three times. More stress! After some humiliation it finally went through manually whereupon the receptionist informed us that it often did this! More stress. Why the heck don’t they get a new card reader or put the information in manually. Then my partner filled in the check in form and they wanted to know both names when normally only one person completes this, also the wanted or email, no thanks! It felt like the third degree. More stress! Now into the room. We switched on the TV. It was already on a channel but it stated it was not available. There was no instructions to tell us that the only free Chanel’s were from 1-150. A very simple leaflet explaining this would relieve the stress! The room itself was clean and everything was provided: towels, face cloth, shampoo, conditioner and body wash. There was also tea and coffee available and a hair dryer. Although the hotel is clean it does look very shabby in parts and in need of a lick of paint. We requested an early alarm call which arrived on time, The up side. Other than one receptionist all the staff were so helpful and couldn’t do enough for us, especially Jess and Victoria. We ate in the restaurant for both supper and breakfast and the food was great. The draught beer is highly recommended. Finally, I would recommend this hotel if only they would address the small, easily resolved, frustrations.

We stayed here for four nights while we explored Nova Scotia. From our arrival until the day we left the service was impeccable. Staff are friendly, interested, efficient. (Thank you Kumar and team.) Nothing was too much trouble, from sorting out laundry to sourcing a mobile phone expert. (Thank you, Bhandu!) Our room was immaculate and very comfortable, and kept that way by expert housekeeping teams. It was a pleasure to stay here.

We traveled through the Maritimes last week and stayed at the Willow Bend. It was an unexpected delight. We couldn’t find a room at any of the chains and needed a place that accepted pets. We called Best Western and they had no rooms but told us to try the Willow Bend. We called and they had a room. We told them we wouldn’t be there until around 9:30, they said they desk closed at ten but gave us a number to call if we were going to be later than that. At about 9:25 we received a call checking on our progress. We arrived 10 minutes after the call. We were very surprised to find such a clean and nice room. They have a continental breakfast which had many choices. Totally recommend the Willow Bend. Did I mention it was much cheaper than any of the chains?

The Truro Hampton Inn didn't disappoint: I had a king room at the end of a long corridor and the room had everything you need / expect. There was large TV, microwave, fridge, coffee machine with choice of coffee and some tea, plenty of charger points, and a chaise longue to relax in. It's located close to the highway but there wasn't any traffic noise that I noticed, no noise from other guests, and it's close to a couple of restaurants / cinema and Tim Hortons. Breakfast was great : lots of cooked options, pastries, cereals with milk in individual cartons, and there was a reasonable amount of seating available, with a choice of table, bar, more comfortable seating. A good choice for business travelers working in the area and also if, like me, you need somewhere convenient for getting back to Halifax Stanfield airport or don't want to go too far after a long / late flight.
