Where to stay in Armdale
How the choice of base plays out on the ground.
Armdale is not a hotel quarter. Rooms sit in Halifax proper, and a bed in Armdale means a residential street where the traffic passing through is more of a landmark than the neighbourhood itself. The Mont Blanc Anchor Site is the one stop worth a detour.
If you want a quiet Nova Scotia address over a downtown room, this works.
