Good Budget Location in St John's
Excellent location, although drivers should note that the indoor parking across the street will cost $17 a day or more. Truly excellent housekeeping! Comfortable bed, good shower although water will take a couple of minutes' running to heat up. Room was initially quite cold, but the Honeywell switch warmed it up nicely. Be aware if stairs are an issue, it wasn't a problem for me. Mere steps from the Duke of Duckworth pub, possibly the best fish & chips in Canada! Also close to The Ship pub. Good accommodations for the price, I could stay here again in future.

Great location, comfortable bed, reasonable price, and near restaurants and shopping. A little noisy the second night. Sounded like somebody was having a party. But nothing too raucous. Would stay here again.

Two nights in downtown.
The hotel is nice. Room was clean. Staff is friendly. Great location in downtown area. Close to many pubs and restaurants. Unfortunately, entrance into the hotel was frustrating, as I was left in the pouring rain with nobody answering my phone call (you have to call when you arrive so a staff member can unlock the entrance to the hotel). The TV is the size of a computer desktop monitor, which makes it difficult to watch unless you’re sitting directly in front of it. That said, I would stay again.

First off it was a shared bathroom.. no fridge in the room, the ceiling had water damage! The place had a very disgusting smell! And the blinds were yellow and full of mold…..

This is my second time staying here. The room was comfortable and the hotel is in a very convenient location. The room I stayed in had some minor, but unfinished damage repairs (unpainted drywall patches), which probably should have been completed before being available for use. Otherwise, I would stay again. Cheers.
