What Guests Say About Their Stay

The room was clean and the bed was so comfortable. The young lady who checked us in was so very polite and welcoming. My husband was hungry so we had supper at their pub. My husband assured me that the food was delicious as I slid my wings towards him as I was feeling unwell. At the end of our meal our server came to our table and explained that she had noticed that I was having a very bad day and had called her manager to see if they could do something nice for us. The manager had authorised for our meal to be complementary, on them. I protested and she insisted that they really wanted to to it and it had already been taken care of. It was such an unexpected act of kindness on her part to notice and to care enough to make a call. Just to make a stranger smile. To the management, thank you for your kindness and please know that your staff are your best asset and because of them The Guv'nor will be now be our hotel of choice.

We stayed only one night as we had a flight to take first thing in the morning. We, unfortunately, missed the breakfast so we canbot comment. It was, however, a nice thought. The room was okay but the bathroom door needed some repair. The staff was very nice.

Very friendly and accommodating staff. Room was clean and had everything we needed. Handy to have a restaurant attached. Close enough to downtown but significantly cheaper in price than hotels downtown. Free breakfast in the morning was also lovely and prepared quickly- great food.

Our stay was pretty good. The meals were excellent at the pub. the only issue was the bed it was an old mattress and not at all level the one side of it was sagged and when laying on that side felt like you were gonna roll off the last time we stayed the bed was not at all like this

Thank you to the Gov’nor for the free breakfast vouchers. We didn’t use all of them because we chose to have variety at other establishments. I did treat myself to a new, smaller pillow as your 4 were way too large for a tummy sleeper. Hotel was centrally located for downtown accessibility. Did the job.

Room was sub-par, smelled of cigarette smoke and wet carpets. Over looked the dumpster. Nothing like the picture shown. The attached restaurant was top notch with great food and wonderful staff.

We only spent one night and it was ok for us. But if we are to spend few nights i would expect more reliable amenities ( Properly functioning bath tub, taps and fridge).

Restaurant and staff there were fantastic- food was great and LOVED the voucher for breakfast. Hotel needs some updates. When we arrived room and bathroom were clean but we stayed for 6 nights and had to ask for bed change and new towels. Shuttle to downtown would be great- even if there was a small charge. Also, need to make sure all the entry doors are locked, one at parking lot didn’t close or lock properly.

This hotel is old and tired. It needs a total updating. It was 15 C outside and we ran the AC full blast the entire time and the room was always 24 - 25 C. The bathroom fixtures were salvaged from the wreck of the titanic and the hot water was scalding, very easy to get scalded if you weren't careful. The hotel was in a convenient location for getting around St. John's. The breakfast in the adjacent pub (included with the room) was very good although it didn't offer a lot of options (yogurt, juice, fruit).

Super friendly staff and well located to use the local Metrobus system. Pub food is ok for a couple of days but we really missed our daily veggies and fruits so we just went to other restaurants close by. The room cleaning staff forgot to change our wet towels 2 or 3 times but we could easily resolve this directly with the receptionist. Thanks again for everything.
