At first, I was concerned about the location of the hotel since the surrounding area looked a little beat up. Still, the back view of the lake and the close location to Halifax (10 mins driving) and the Lighthouse Route (about 30 mins to Peggy's Cove) made it very well worth it. I loved meeting Aero the chocolate lab puppy. And, yes, he slept most of the time. But, the one morning he came out from behind the desk to play was just wonderful. The room and bathroom were a reasonable size. I didn't quite understand their pool towel policy (they left two towels in the room and said they would charge $10 per towel if it wasn't in the closet when you check out). Why not leave more towels in the pool area so we can pick up a dry one each time? Maybe some people would steal the towels from the pool area...but most of us won't. We just like dry clean towels every time we use a pool/hot tub. The pool and hot tub area was well designed to keep kids separated from the hot tub area as best as possible. The Lakeside Grill had, to me, pretty great food for dinner (we went twice) and breakfast every morning. Great variety, great desserts, though one dinner visit dragged on a little too long without the waitress informing us what was holding up our meal. Still, no major problems. We'd likely come back again. Would love to see Aero up and running around though! less
