An older, historic building, lovingly being cared for to share with others. Close to everything.

The Commons Inn is in a unique area of Halifax, within reasonable walking distance of downtown. The building appears rundown from the outside, however effort has been put into renovating and cleaning up the rooms.
If you enjoy character- this lodging is for you.

It was run down. It’s affordable and walking distance to the downtown but otherwise has no redeeming features.

Property was inexpensive compared to the market and right beside an excellent tavern and great Deli - Parking was limited but in fairness the room was clean, not a fan of Internet TV but the proximity to really cool bars and restaurants make it an interesting selection
