CHEAPER OPTIONS - HOTELS OUTSIDE DOWNTOWN CORE We sought to find you the cheapest, closest hotel possible and that's how we got the Citadel. To save some cash we recommend reserving a room outside of the downtown Halifax core on the Dartmouth side of the harbour, toward Bayers Lake or the Bedford Basin. Keep in mind cabs will be at least $20 a trip and it costs $0.75 each way across the bridges. Check out the page below for a list of hotels in the area for under $129. All estimated amounts based on double occupancy for the night of July 9. If you have an Air Miles Card it takes only 1100 miles for a night at the Delta Hotels downtown Halifax and 875 at the Sheraton or Westin near the waterfront. There are also tons of bed and breakfasts throughout the city. Check out the tourism links at the top for more information. |
