Top hotels in South End
The Barrington Hotel
The AC was non existent in our room. No extra blankets for the pull out couch. The pool was on the colder side and the female sauna did not work (but the male one did). Overall not 100% satisfied. Hotel needs updated

The Lord Nelson Hotel & Suites
Great location, lovely staff.

Cambridge Suites Hotel
I noticed the hotel is still using the older tech Mifare Classic 1K hotel guest room RFID cards which provide less security than more modern Mifare Ultralight C guest room RFID cards used by some of the other hotels in the Halifax Convention Center proximity. Not a show stopper if you are prudent ...
