What Guests Say About Their Stay

Value is excellent. Location is easy to get in and out of town. About a 25 to 30 min walk to the downtown harbour area or 20 to the nearest shops. Parking is free, if you are visiting at john's, renting a car is the best option imo. The pub is okay, albeit pricey, however everything regarding food and drinks is pricey in this town for some reason. The rooms are clean and comfy, AC can be loud. Laundry on site, however the dryer doesn't dry very well. Staff are helpful and friendly.

The check in clerk was AMAZING and very apologetic and accommodating. The house keeping staff however are NOT doing their job!! Our first room wasn't even cleaned at all. Lights on, tv on, bed unmade, towels in the bathtub. Went back and again, the check in clerk was very nice and gave us a new room. This room however obviously hadn't been swept and there was BROKEN GLASS on the floor in numerous spots throughout the suit (bathroom behind door, in front of mini fridge, between bed and nightstand, etc). We will not be staying here again, just not worth the headache.

We liked the fact it’s an older building with lots of character. We were steps away from the restaurant that serves great food. We took an uber to the Mary Browns centre which is only a 10 minute drive. Everything was so close, yet it was quiet

The room smelled of smoke. The floors, moulding & heater was not very clean. The toilet leaked from the base and the tub would not drain, when showering!

Good location, close to the Avalon mall. Nice looking hotel, however the rooms had a bit of a stale smell; perhaps the carpet was old. Otherwise, very nice, clean rooms, good for a place to sleep. Restaurant on site had good food. Would stay there again.
