Friendly staff, convenient location on the outskirts of downtown (uber was $10 or $15 to all the notable sites), and the room rate included a voucher for two breakfasts at the attached tavern - breakfast was hearty and delicious, Room was on the ground floor, external entrance (like a motel), beds and pillows were comfortable. It’s not the Ritz but we loved our stay and would highly recommend if you don’t need to be walking distance to everything.

Location is good and this basic hotel is near the airport and less cost than other hotels but it is jaded. The bed if comfortable and the bathroom good so not bad for the price, but we hoped for better

While the staff were friendly and kind, the hotel itself is very old and in need of some updates. It doesn’t seem to be in a very good neighbourhood and while we were there a car was broken into and their belongings and everything was stolen. Personally I would not recommend staying there and will not again.

For the price, we expected to be staying at a decent hotel. The photos made it look clean, comfortable, and much nicer than it actually was. Two days before we arrived, the hotel called to say our room had been double-booked and that we would have to move to an apartment at an unknown location. We declined and told them they needed to sort it out, since that was not what we had booked or paid for. When we arrived at night, the parking area was filled with cigarette and cannabis smoke. The front lobby was dimly lit, dirty, and had a very unpleasant smell. The front desk was messy, and the staff member had trouble finding our reservation in the system, which made it pretty clear how the booking issue happened in the first place. The room itself was extremely small. As soon as you walked in, you basically ran into the first bed. The floors were dirty, and we found someone else’s garbage beside the bed. The toilet was so low it honestly felt like a child’s toilet. The shower looked like it had been partially updated at some point, but instead of properly finishing the job around the original taps, they simply cut two holes and left only the handles sticking out. The walls were also paper thin. We could hear everything from the people in the next room, including two older drunk men talking loudly until after 1 a.m., which made it very difficult to sleep. Overall, the hotel looked nothing like the photos and was very disappointing. The only positive art was the service at breakfast

I loved the toutons on the menu. My server on Friday and Saturday breakfasts was excellent and so upbeat. The long wait at the bar - perhaps hire more staff. Sunday breakfast - I called the Inn to open the doors. Server had difficulty with the coffee machine and was rattled by all the guests coming for breakfast. Definitely required more staff. I waited 23 minutes and she had only served one table - so I had to leave because I could not wait any longer as I still had to pack my suitcase (which would 10 minutes)but there were still 8+ more tables to serve. There should have been more staff because they knew how many customers stayed at the Inn - and they should've known (approximately) how many people would be at breakfast.

Good food at the restaurant. Feel like we got an older not updated room in an older section. Disappointed, since we had booked well in advance. No elevator to second floor. Senior women traveling on their own. It was difficult to get baggage up the stairs. No assistance offered.

The staff were excellent - halo full & always so friendly. The room was clean, bed was super comfy & had everything you need & it all worked fine. It’s a wee bit dated but has great charm. The Pub was the highlight - excellent food & array of beers on tap. The staff & the locals are the best people ever! And you are a nice walk to Quidi Vidi, Signal Hill, The Battery & the harbour front. Great spot! Would recommend to friends looking to visit. Would come back for sure!

Had to pay cash for the deposit because had no credit card. Upon checking out, I had to ask for my deposit back. They didn’t just give it back to like I was told when I gave it upon check in.

Wouldn't go back. Very dated, 1 ply toilet paper, didn't clean the room, said it was because cleaning staff were so busy.
