We stayed one night at the Commons Inn, which was enough. The rate was very decent, but the bathroom was tiny and dark. The whole building seems dated, and a lot of the photos in other reviews seem to be from a much better quality room than what we were given. Most of the appliances in our room were plugged into one outlet with a multi outlet adapter (didn't strike me as safe). I tried plugging my phone into another outlet to charge but the outlet box actually moved inside the wall - needless to say I didn't leave it plugged in there. The room was an okay size, the bed wasn't comfortable, and truthfully we didn't try the shower in the morning because it was dark in the stall. The continental breakfast was nothing special, just okay. The staff was friendly, but parking was a pain... the inn by no means has enough spaces for all the rooms. The lack of an elevator didn't bother us, and the inn is conveniently located a short enough walk to downtown Halifax. Overall I'm unlikely to stay here again or recommend it to others, the lower rate wasn't worth the lower quality stay.

There is no elevator and you have to carry your suitcases up the stairs. The property is old and poorly maintained. i.e. sloping floors, ripped carpets, suspect wiring, etc.
I would not stay there again.
