Briar Court Hotel

I stay here when I’m in Halifax on business. The rooms are nice – rather small by American standards, but they have everything you need; tea pot w/​tea, coffee, hot cocoa, a couple packets of cookies, wireless internet, comfy beds, and remote control TV. There’s no in-​room air conditioning (not that you really need it there), but there is a radiator in each room with its own control dial.
The bathrooms are always clean, the rooms are pretty quiet, even the ones facing the main road, and they have a small bar and breakfast-​only dining facility on-​site. You can get sandwiches and fries (chips) throughout the morning up through lunch time, though.
If you need to eat in for dinner and get some work done, go to the front desk and order take-​out from DaSandro’s, which is right across the parking lot.
The lobby/​bar area is cozy, with comfortable seating and several tables.
The staff is always helpful and attentive, and there is a fantastic Indian restaurant just down and across the street if DaSandros isn’t what you have your heart set on for dinner on a given evening. Just be careful crossing the street because if you are like me, you naturally look the opposite direction for cars than the direction they are coming from. There is a marked pedestrian crossing pretty much at the hotel parking lot entrance, it’s a lot smarter to use it than to get run over.

Stayed here the night before going to Titanic Spa to avoid the M62 at rush hour and have a chilled night away. The hotel is attached to Da Sandro (very nice Italian also reviewed).
The hotel was clean, tidy and well maintained. As it is 5 minutes away from the M62 it is obviously used by commuters but this was no issue. The rate was very reasonable at £50 per room and included breakfast for two.
The room had all the mod cons and there were plenty of tea bags/​coffee/​hot chocolate sachets and custard creams (!) provided.
We only used this as a stop off but was very reasonable and would be a good base to explore the surrounding areas.
