The hotel sits in a residential neighbourhood with easy access to downtown via a 10-minute drive. The Victorian Public Gardens are 4 km away, while the Halifax Citadel and Rebecca Cohn Auditorium are within a 10-minute drive. Walking to the waterfront boardwalk takes about 50 minutes, but bus routes to downtown and the airport are available via the Munford terminal.
