Stayed there for the Victoria Day Weekend (3 nights). It is a very nice hotel. You can kind of tell that it was recently renovated (~ 2 years ago?). Location wise, it is somewhat secluded in the sense that is it in the "suburbs" of Halifax. If you don't have access to a car, this might not be your first... More

We were in Halifax to celebrate the May long weekend with our son and family. The room was spacious and well appointed. The bathroom was very clean and looked to be recently done over. There is a wonderful buffet in the morning included with the room price. The weather was absolutely wonderful during our stay and there were a lot... More

Stayed here for one night in April. Service at the front desk was very good and the place was clean overall, with a nice view of the lake -- I can just imagine how nice could be on a sunny autumn morning. No issues whatsoever and the hotel had many amenities such as a video game room, a fitness centre,... More

Years ago I had stayed at this hotel when it was a Keddy's. Not so great. However, our one-night stay at Best Western Chocolate Lake was a pleasant surprise. The desk staff were cheerful, helpful and right there. We loved the chocolate lab; in the morning, when we asked where the dog was, we were told, "Oh, she's with housekeeping... More

I was quite shocked when I got to the hotel and saw just how modern and beautiful it was! The hotel is situated beside a lake which is lovely and there is a chocolate lab which is the hotel dog - a beautiful touch, so precious. When we arrived at the hotel, everything was ready on time which was greatly... More

Location - Fantastic. I loved that the lake was right there. A beautiful place for a stroll, or just to sit and enjoy the view. The Hotel - Nice decor, warm and welcoming. The Chocolate Lab greeting you at the front desk is something I have never experienced, and loved it. Great amenities - a nice restaurant, with a great... More

We stayed for a couple of days, with the hotel as our base. The lobby welcomed us. Everything about the well-sized room was clean and well appointed. They provide public access computers, handy for planning your day. The restaurant on the premises serves a full breakfast buffet. Nobody can make a platter of scrambled eggs, slowly aging under heat lamps,... More

Dear PaulMmm, Thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to let us know your thoughts. I have shared your comments with the food and beverage team. The hotel originates back in the 60's & 70's and at that time it was two seperate buildings. During our recent major renovation we created interior corridors for what use... More

This is a lovely hotel, nice view and good place to go if you have to bring your dog. Having said that there is no doggy smell or any other tell tail signs save for the lovely chocolate lab at the desk. Hence the name! More
