Pros:

Clean room friendly staff and great location. Only thing wrong was the idea of not being able to pay cash for a bottle of water. Not everyone likes to use a visa or debit card everywhere.

Pros:

The bed was comfortable. My room was on the back of the building which shielded me from the traffic noise on the front of hotel. The hallway carpet was torn in a couple of places but it was clean. I always stay here when I’m in town. Love that East Side Marios restaurant is in the hotel. Very convenient and great restaurant.

Good hotel in convenient location
Pros:

This is a large hotel with a couple of wings: I had a King room at the back, with a small balcony overlooking Kenny's Pond, which was lovely to look out on, and didn't get any traffic noise or noise from other rooms. The room itself was clean and comfortable and had all the amenities you'd expect. The bathroom was very small, but was clean and seemed recently renovated, and had shampoo, conditioner and shower gels. The wash basin area outside the bathroom was bright and well lit, with plenty of fresh towels.
A couple of things to be aware of: As there are a couple of entrances, with reception in the middle, some way from both of the main doors, find out where your room is first and then park at the entrance closest to your room for easier transportation of luggage.
Also, the main front entrance does have a sign saying no smoking within so many metres, but the smoking area is literally right outside so you do have to go through the smoke to get in to the hotel.
And, East Side Marios is attached to the hotel for dinner and breakfast, but you have to walk through the restaurant to get to the front for a table, and there was a really long wait for a table for dinner.
Some building / renovation work was going on during the day (I think 9-6).
It's a really convenient location for the airport (5-10 minute drive), and only a short drive to Quidi Vidi, Signal Hill or downtown, so overall a good hotel in a great location if you're exploring St John's and the surrounding area. Would happily stay here again.

Great hotel, but pricey
Pros:

Hotel was great. Stayed for almost a week and rooms were clean and a good size. Close to amenities and walking trails. Good pool, water slide, laundry…Great breakfast provided and handy having kids eat free at the restaurant for dinner. Only concern was the construction occurring during the day. It was very loud so son could not nap, etc.

I really liked that we had two children under the age of 12 with us and they could eat free and had a great menu for kids. This was a big benefit to us. The pool and slide was great too
