I booked a room at the Four Points, just for the sake of having a room booked. It is refundable, so I will change, if decided.

I’ve stayed at the Westin two times now, the Delta Barrington (in a Club room), and my first trip was just basic, staying at the Residence Inn.

I never visited the pool at the Residence Inn, but I can’t imagine that it would be the best, or even among the best in the city. The Delta Barrington had a pool that was pretty disgusting to us, to be honest. The pool liner was greenish and slimy, just like the water was slimy as well. The Westin has a really nice pool area, and the whirlpool is pretty good.

Anyway, I’ll be staying there for eight days with my partner, and in our past vacations, we’ve loved a good pool to go swim in. I was considering the Westin again, but I found it so much easier to be right in the heart of downtown, like closer to Spring Garden Road. I find it a pain to only be able to take the #7 bus to go somewhere from the Westin, especially if it’s raining out.

So this time, I was considering staying at the Four Points, Radisson, Courtyard, and the Delta Halifax.

I’ve had great experiences with the pool at the Delta hotels in Moncton and Fredericton, so I’m willing to give the Delta Halifax a shot as well.
