Will return here again
Staff was exceptional, friendly, and kind. Room and hotel- immaculate. Bonus discount for food and wings are fantastic. Book for cleanliness and hospitality, not size of room.

Great stay.
Easy self check in. The location was wonderful with fully walkable neighbourhood to main down town core and the famous George Street. We would have liked to visit the restaurant in the lobby. It was always busy and looked beautiful, but we ran out of time. For a short stay, we would stay here again. It had a tiny tv. If large tv is impirtant to you, know this.

Nice heritage building, needs repair
Hotel itself had a great vibe. Nice restaurant on main floor. Our room was on the top floor and was not ready for guests. Found a previous guest’s sock on the floor. Room must have had water damage at some point and was still in process of being repaired. A first coat of drywall had been applied around the top of the attic wall and closet area, but hadn’t even been sanded yet. Likewise, the bathroom was incompletely renovated.
On a positive note, we stayed two nights and the room was made up despite not expecting it.

We love staying at this hotel, the building has historic charm with modern decor. We stayed in the queen suite which was very spacious and really quiet and the price was great This was our second stay in the past year, check in was a breeze and we will stay again when we come into St. John’s

Great economy stay close to it all
Stayed here before, consistent little spot. Its older building lots of stairs but a more than fair price and overall worth it for sure on budget. Just read limitations like parking no front desk etc and its nice enough spot!
