We stayed at the HFX Airport Hotel in Goffs, Nova Scotia, for an overnight layover on our way home from Amsterdam. The free shuttle from the airport was quick and convenient, and it was already waiting for us when we arrived. The hotel is older, which shows in areas like the carpets and pool facilities, but it met our expectations for a short stay. Our room was clean, the bed was comfortable, and it served its purpose well.
Dining options nearby are limited, and getting into Halifax is at least a $50 Uber ride, so plan ahead if you’re looking for more variety. The hotel has both an indoor and outdoor pool, though they are older in style. The outdoor pool didn’t look particularly clean, so we skipped it, but the indoor pool was fine. Both pools start at about four feet deep and go down to nine feet, so they’re better suited for older kids or adults rather than young children.
We had dinner at the hotel restaurant, which was decent, and breakfast was a typical continental offering. Overall, it was a convenient choice for a quick overnight stop near the airport.
