Courtyard by Marriott St. John's Newfoundland

This hotel is in a great location downtown and very easy to get to. Staff are friendly, including Teri at the front desk who always greeted us with a genuine smile and conversation while we were there. She is knowledgeable and an asset to this property. The hotel itself is updated, VERY clean, quiet and the water pressure in the shower is the best I’ve seen! The head is about 7ft off the ground so even the tall people can enjoy a nice shower. Next login in the room is great addition. If you had a higher floor facing the harbour, you probably had a great view. We had the 6th floor “City View” and all we could see was the full parking lot. The Restaurant / Room Service are on the pricier side, but that’s to be expected. The food was tasty though and made for a good snack when needed. My only complaint is the parking situation. There are not enough spots as they have rooms. Both nights we were there we had to park either around the corner on another property’s lot (as advised by staff) which resulted in a 5 min walk uphill beck to the hotel entrance or squeeze into a spot behind in what seems like staff parking. I get property is tight, but it seems the parking lot was an afterthought when they expanded the hotel.

We stayed at the Courtyard 4 of the 8 nights we were in Newfoundland. This hotel is a great location within walking distance to downtown shopping and restaurants. Very friendly, helpful staff. We never heard another guest the entire time we were there. We like a room with good air conditioning and we were able to get it perfect for sleeping. The layout is typical of what you would find at similar hotels. I liked the fridge with a little counter area above with coffee maker so we could fix our yogurt in the mornings. The bed was very comfortable and really hot water in the shower with excellent water pressure. If you want a quiet stay with easy access to what St. Johns has to offer, I would recommend the Courtyard. Terri at the front desk was AWESOME too,

This is my 4th trip to this hotel. The staff are so friendly and effective. Terry at the front desk is a real gem! I even got a hug from her this trip. The hotel is quiet and comfortable and close to all the fun stuff st John’s has to offer!

This is a great hotel! Lovely staff, great location and comfortable beds. Shower pressure is incredible! We stayed in a room with fridge, microwave/convection oven and dishwasher which was so handy! We will definitely be back for another stay.

Hotel was nice but lost many points for this incident. Travelling abroad in the morning. Went to bed early to get a good rest as I would be travelling for 2-3 days. Around midnight, phone rings. "Are you having a party because it sounds like I have a crowd out in my room" It was only me, having the best sleep I had in a year, and the fan running in my room. I know I snore but come on. Once I got back in the bed, I did hear the ruckus she called about, but I didn't get back to sleep, teenagers or whatever out partying on the floor nearby. This lady with the hotel, she couldn't go investigate this, she just picked up the phone and start dialing room numbers on the 7th floor and whoever took the blame solved her problem? Not only did she mess up my sleep but she also never solved the problem because when I went to get up at 4 am to go to the airport, the party was still on the go with the noise.

Teri at the front desk was so lovely and really made this stay 5 stars. I was able to check in early which was so appreciated, and my room on the top floor overlooking the harbour was gorgeous.

Just returned from a wonderful trip home to St Johns again. My husband and I stayed at the Marriott Hotel on Duckworth Street. Again, we enjoyed our stay there. We really like the location, parking lot across the street, nice restaurant and bar, good food and outstanding service. We wanted to recognize Terry who greets the guests so warmly, Monsour, Angela, Angelette and Jessica who took care of us at the restaurant and Gio who I met during our stay..friendly young man who let us know just to ask if we needed anything at all. Thank you for your kindness and hospitality.. there is no place like Newfoundland and the amazing people who live there!

This was a great hotel to stay in. The staff was friendly an helpful, my room (716) was spotless and spacious and the and the handwritten welcome note and a treat from the manager was a nice touch. I received the note probably because I'm a Marriott Rewards lifetime platinum member.||The location was great. If the bars on George St. are your thing, It's about a 15 minute walk. There are also a bunch of restaurants within 500 meters. Unlike most Courtyards in the US, this one has a full-service restaurant and bar. I didn't try it, but the menu looked good and varied.||I used points for my three-day stay and I'm glad I stayed here instead of the Sheraton up the hill an farther away from things that I was going to walk to.||There's a decent fitness center as well as spotless guest laundry room.||There is hotel-owned parking across the street. I think it was $15 per day.

Nice hotel. Great location. Wonderful service. Good rooms with excellent amenities at a great price. (Excellent parking at no extra charge!!!!)

My wife & I stayed at Courtyard by Marriott in St John's before and after our Canadian Maritime cruise on the National Geographic Explorer: 6 & 7 (Room 618) and 15 (Room (615) September. This is a nice Courtyard facility with very friendly and helpful staff. On our first departure day the sole elevator was out of service but two members of the hotel staff were dispatched to carry our luggage from our room to the lobby. We had breakfast in the hotel restaurant each morning and enjoyed the various offerings of eggs, potatoes and pancakes. I tried their version of a traditional Newfoundland breakfast: eggs, salt cod fish cakes, bacon and a homemade touton. This was a most filling breakfast and I enjoyed the touton - but who does not like fried dough. We would consider staying at this Courtyard facility if we returned to St John's.

When it comes to hotels I look for just a few things. A clean, comfortable room. Free wifi that's relatively quick. A workout room that's decent. This spot hits most of those, but what it misses on it makes up for in other ways. First up, the location is fantastic. It's right across the street from the harbor. I was fortunate enough to get a harbor view room, which I just loved. It's also steps from the heart of downtown and George St. The wifi is free and relatively quick. The staff was friendly and helpful. The exercise room? Well - that left a bit to be desired. There were two treadmills which I appreciated, but the only distractor was a shared TV that wasn't easily viewable from most of the cardio equipment. All of that said, I was very pleased with my stay here.

A lovely stay Very ideal location in Saint John's

I booked my room online and we needed a cot for my son. When we asked the desk they were very rude and not helpful. We had to ask three times to get one. I woke up the next day to find they had charged me 12$ for the cot. Great! Then when I went to have a shower, I opened the towel and it was stained. It looked like someone wiped their ass with it. I brought the towel to the front desk to ask about the 12$ and what they were willing to do about the towel. The lady at the counter looked at me and laughed. Other then the view of the harbour, this hotel is not recommended. I would not recommend anyone stay.

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.

very convenient hotel, right off the harbor. convenient to public transportattion, and far enough away from George St. to be pretty quiet. Rooms are spacious, free wifi. parking across the street. Only complaints, they don't have a deck facing the harbor, which would be exclusive and very beautiful, and the public spaces could use more attention. But compared to the Sheraton just up the street, it's a good value

Good service for our meeting in St John's. We had some issues with thermostat due to unusual weather and staff worked diligently until problem resolved. Rooms were excellent. Food was better than expected.
