The staff was pleasant and accommodating , the pub menu was well rounded; the food delicious. The VLTs on property were a plus. The room was nice the bathroom very clean with the exception of one spider surprising me in the shower. The smoke shack was big and comfy. One bus to downtown, 10 mins on foot to the mall. All in all a great stay.

Room smelled musty like old smoke. Corners and baseboards were dirty. There was a hair in the bathtub.

Misleading Room Pictures
We stayed 4 nights Aug 8,9,10,11. Given a horrible ground floor room in back area (Room 104) One window looking onto parking lot that you couldn't open curtain on because there was no privacy sheers and people were walking back and forth outside of it and parking large pick-up trucks in front of our space. It was like being in a cave. No daily housekeeping service and when we asked about this, front desk agent was surly with my husband, saying "We don't do that." There was only 2 electrical outlets in the main area of the room and we had to rotate what we plugged in. There was only one bedside table on one side of the bed and nothing on the other side. Baseboards were dirty with dust. Bathroom vanity was coming loose from the wall and tilting forward so toiletries would roll off if not placed strategically.

Enjoyed our 2 night stay here. Building needs a little updating but to do that would cost a fortune. In the meantime the building serves its guests the best it can. Staff were friendly and accommodating. Very comfortable beds, all you need in the bathroom, hairdryer included. Iron and ironing board in room. Room size brilliant. Would stay here again.

Staff are very welcoming and kind during our stay. Easy to get to downtown St John's by driving. Went to the pub for breakfast and food was really good!

Older hotel in need of updating and musty smelling. The beds were comfortable, though small. Breakfast in the restaurant (not included) was good.
We had an issue with our booking where the hotel was not seeing our ******* booking in their system and had to rebook us. We didn’t find out until the morning (after we’d packed up) that we could stay in the same room. As a result housekeeping saw it as a new booking and our room did not get cleaned. Staff was able to provide clean towels when we realized this.

This hotel has a beautiful ambiance to it. And the food in the pub was excellent. So many great choices. I could eat there three times a day for a whole week!
