Prince George Hotel
Everything was as expected in a good hotel. The Housekeeping staff kept my room spotless. The staff were very friendly, and the breakfasts were enormous! The wait staff were very accommodating. It was very useful to be able to borrow a hotel umbrella! I would stay here again if I was ever in Halifax ...
