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.

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.

I really have nothing to say in reference to liking the property. I was very surprised. It was probably one of the worst hotels or in. I should say that I’ve ever been in. We booked because it was walking distance to a concert there. The lady on the front desk, Nora was very kind and helping us through the ordeal, but in regards to management the manager, Natasha was not accommodating when it came to refunding our booking. We walked into the hotel checked in, looked at our room. I was not impressed with the overall feeling of the environment that I was staying in for two nights that cost me almost $400 a night. It was absolutely ridiculous. I always look in the bed the toilet in the shower. The room was very small. The bed had hair in the sheet, the toilet was stained, and the shower had dripping down the side. The hallway had a foul smell that led even to the room. I was not happy at all. They did offer to change my sheet sheets, but the whole room should’ve been cleaned the sorrow overlooked before renting it out again. They only refunded us the one night out of two never had that happen before need to say I will never be there again. there would be no recommendation for me and I travel a bit to St. John’s.
