“A solid option”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 October 2011

Overall, the Comfort Inn Amherst is a decent option to stay. The beds are comfortable, and while nice enough, the rooms are in need of a bit of an update. It is close to stores, restaurants, gas stations. The front desk staff are both friendly and helpful. Breakfast is complimentary and offers a basic spread - As it's free it's hard to find much fault in it!

Considering the number of 3/4 ton and 1 ton trucks in the parking lot at night, a mainstay of business at this hotel are construction workers, contractors, etc. As most are up and out at an early hour, it makes for little noise in the evenings.

If you absolutely cannot handle second-hand smoke, it may not be the best place for you as there are rooms where smoking is permitted and you do notice it on the main floor. The cleaning staff can be a tad overzealous, as on the two occasions I have stayed here, they start at about 7am and there's plenty of racket to go along with it (shutting doors, etc.).

However, if you are looking for a decent stay at a good price, this is a solid option. I wouldn't plan an entire vacation around it, but for the odd night or two this certainly meets my expectations and I will continue to use this hotel when in the area.

“Good bang for your buck”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 June 2010

My wife and I stayed at this hotel while passing through Amherst to get to Halifax. The service from the front desk was average...the room was clean and roomy but the bed was very uncomfortable! Decent location (right near the major highway) but nothing to do after dark. I would recommend to stay as a pass through hotel but not for more than 1 night.

“never again”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 September 2009

This property is old, the room smells of carpet-fresh deoderant, the fixtures do not work properly, the air conditioning does not work properly, the internet is impossible although they advertise it. For the money, it is way overpriced and should be rated a 1/2 star. The front desk assistance is non existent. It caused me to re-evaluate my reservations in other cities and upon review of the comfort inn in St. John's--I cancelled and booked at the downtown Hilton for twenty dollars less! My stay at the Comfort Inn in Halifax could not have been better.

“Value for money”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 February 2009

Stayed in this motel on number of occasions. Although the rooms are basic they are very good value for money. I really love the room setup and cleaniness
Smoke dectectores are very sencitive so do not smoke in non smoking rooms.

“Very good accommodations”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 October 2008

This was a walk-in, late in the eveningt. The front desk clerk was cheery despite the late hour. This hotel didn't have free high-speed internet in the room but the room was very clean and comfortable. Lots of local information available at the hotel. Very good complimentary continental breakfast.

The hotel offered all that I wanted, at an extremely price.

  • Liked — staff helpfulness, location, price, cleanliness
  • Disliked — no high-speed internet in room, though there was in the lobby.
