First bid of $48 rejected, P/L countered $62

We ignored of course, added 1 more area & increased bid to $50.

P/L accepted $50 + $16.07 fees = $66.07

Continuing to Moncton, NB on Dec 11th but P/L not accepting any reasonable bids :)

first bid accepted: $50 per night x 3 =$150 + taxes/fees $34.77 for total $184.77. Upon arrival, we were given free room upgrade (to bigger room overlooking the harbour) and free parking :) All staff helpful and very friendly. Nice!!

The $18 all day parking is an open uncovered lot right behind the hotel. Atlantic Superstore parking is same distance away and free but you're limited to 3 hours. Lots of on street parking is readily available after 6:00 pm for free with no limit on number of hours EXCEPT during the summer months (at which time overnight parking on the street is illegal). Covered parking lots are located within 2-3 blocks at maximum daily cost of $6.50. One of the best restaurants in Halifax is within easy walking distance - "PIPA" was recently selected as 1 of the top 10 new restaurants in Canada - featuring cuisine of Brazil & Portugal. Except for cost of parking, Westin is a really good deal. Clean, comfortable, good service and relatively quiet location. Also, if you bring your laptop and a DVI->HDMI (or std 15 pin VGA) and RGA Audio cables the standard office desk in your room provides jacks enabling output from your laptop to the 32" LCD TV so you can provide your own entertainment!

Used your PRICELINE link OF COURSE :)

Don't waste your time or money going to Fishermen's Wharf - it's a typical tourist trap. Food is average and service is inconsistent. McKelvies has great food and service (most locals say it is 1 of the top 3 restaurants in the city); my only complaint is they don't currently don't serve Guinness or any other "good body" (i.e. dark) stout, ale or beer. However, the Irish pub across the street does and is good fun, live entertainment, service and good, reasonably priced pub grub.
