What you’d expect from a three star hotel. If you’re looking for an affordable night not far from St. John’s Airport, this is a good choice. The attached Guv’nor Pub is a great bonus; it has very good food.

Maintenance and front desk staff went above and beyond the call of duty to accommodate our needs of a freezer to store freshly purchased fish. It really made the whole experience stand out and apart from other compatible hotels in the area. Thank you and I'll definitely stay again!
