It's all about the people. This property has some of the best hotel staff I've ever encountered. While everyone was polite, knowledgable, and helpful, the front desk folks really shone. I got great suggestions on restaurants, tours, walks, and even a laundromat.
The property is well-maintained and clean. It is located within easy walking distance (2-5 minutes) from most of Water Street, and the restaurants, pubs, etc. of downtown St Johns. There is also hotel parking just across the street.
The bar faces the harbor, or, since this is a review of a Canadian establishment, harbour. The bar staff were just like the front desk staff -helpful and friendly. The view... The bar faces the docks, and the bar has two pairs of binoculars. You can watch ships coming into the harbor and the supply boats (docked right in front of you) loading and unloading. I could watch for hours!
This is the best of value, location, and expectations. Most heartily recommended.
