When you first pull up there isn’t much. Parking is limited. We were expecting the worse just based on the outside. But as they say, never judge a book by its cover. The rooms were nice and updated. It is near downtown which is nice. Definitely would recommend
$20.00 paid parking in an area for 6 vehicles full of construction materials. Very small room also with construction surrounding. View out of our window was into another room they are building. Not 175.00 room. Internet signal so low it wouldn't connect, air conditioner too old and loud to run and that's the only amenities
Just needed an overnight stay to drop my son off at the airport early morning so we booked a room with two twin beds. 1. No parking (there used to be free parking), or you can pay $20 for parking. 2. Reminded-no smoking or $200 cleaning fee. 3. One key card-"don't lose it or we charge you $20". 4. Cheap AC unit that cycles on-off with three different levels of annoying loud noises. Noisy neighbours. (It was a Sat night so not the problem of the owners). Had to unplug the blinking clock radio. Window curtains don't close completely letting in street light. Didn't watch TV but he said something about no cable service. Wi-fi worked.
The Commons Inn used to be kind of a cool funky place to stay, but now it's just kind of annoying—and not cheap.
Property was inexpensive compared to the market and right beside an excellent tavern and great Deli - Parking was limited but in fairness the room was clean, not a fan of Internet TV but the proximity to really cool bars and restaurants make it an interesting selection
Contrary to many other reviews, I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised here. Clean room, friendly front desk clerk. Neighbourhood is a little questionable however, I felt safe. Parking was a little tough to find though. Two minute walk at most.
Stayed for two nights.
Good pizza place around the corner.

For $240 per night, one might expect a working TV and perhaps a coffee percolator in the room. This place has all the charm of a Hostel, lots of druggies on this street, dirty halls and even single ply toilet paper to boot. The bed literally was 16” above the floor level. Slamming doors kept us awake both nights and early mornings. And they have to physically check your room out when you are checking out with a $200 hold on your credit card. Hard to believe they actually are allowed to advertise on hotel apps. Not worthy of a 2 star rating. Never again at this place.
Bed was small hard and on the floor. 1 bedside table instead of two. No bathtub, stuck going in . NO PARKING ,unless paying $15 extra . NOT worth $150 a night . Siren's 3 times overnight sheet are startched and uncomfortable. Loud peson checked in speaking loudly ! No one said shhh. Wouldn't recommend to anyone unless desperate! I wished i could have slept elsewear . An taking note never again !
We booked accidentally on the Hotels.com and then customer service tried to help us get it fixed but the commons in were very rude and would not cancel it, as we were being charged we decided we mis well go, we read the reviews and were very nervous upon arriving. We could not find parking it is a very sketchy place and when we did find a spot we were blocked in by many cars and had a hard time getting out. The service was poor and were lectured on rules when checking in harshly which made us feel unwelcomed the halls and stair wells stink like must and a foul odor. The room is extremely small and dirty the furniture is in rough shape and the bed was awful. We also felt unsafe completely. Walls paper thin, and house keeping vacuuming at 8 this morning up until 10. Overall disgusting we didn’t even sleep in the covers.
We spent two nights there. The hotel is in the downtown area of Halifax- very close to everything. There was construction going on, however, and there was no parking available. Parking on the streets proved to be a bit tricky. The TV was practically not working as a TV and we were not able to connect it to internet either.
Otherwise, the room was clean and the staff was very helpful and friendly
