Super 8 Dartmouth

Yes, I know it's a chain property, but if you have kids and a car, this all-suite hotel right across the harbor from Halifax (a 2-minute walk to the Dartmouth waterfront) is definitely one of the better options for travelers on a beer budget. Housed in a modern concrete building, it used to be the former Maranova Suites; even after the change in flagging, it still features rooms that are large and tidy. Many of the 84 units have separate sitting areas, kitchenettes, balconies, and flatscreen televisions. Don't expect anything super-fancy; these rooms are basic, simple, and clean, but some have wonderful views of the harbor, sometimes for no extra cost -- ask about getting a prime view when you book. The hotel is also pet-friendly, has a guest laundry, serves an included continental breakfast, and leaves the health club open 24 hours a day. You reach the hotel by crossing the Angus MacDonald bridge from Halifax's waterfront and quickly exiting onto Windmill Road (east), which becomes Alderney; go left at Queen Street, then left again on King.
