The location is in downtown St. John's, very close to harbour. The breakfast is not so great, just muffin and croissant plus yogurts and fruit.

Friendly staff and great stay
Upon close midnight arrival we had been graciously greeted and given us information where we needed to eat. They promptly guided us to an Irish pub open 24/7 just across the street. Good eat, excellent brew, we couldn't have asked for better.

Convenient and charming hotel.
A really nice hotel in the heart of downtown. It was my first stay here and I will definitely return and recommend it to others. The room was very spacious, comfortable,clean, quiet with all the modern conveniences while keeping the charm of a historic fishing premises. Staff were great and parking was right next to the front door. The complimentary coffee/tea kitchen and included continental breakfast were a bonus.
