Don't stay here!
Pros:

Convenient location

Cons:

A bathroom fan was running all night long in another unit. The sheet wasn't put on the bed properly and was popping off so we had to remake the bed. It was very musty smelling. There was no up to date tv channels. We were woken up at 6am by the chip vendor parking right out side our window (not a parking spot) to unload for the gas station and Subway. Did not sleep well at all and had to drive to St John's the next day. All in all .....would not recommend.

Okay stay, not great
Pros:

Staff very accomodating for us, we have mobility issues, but we still had to take a few stairs to get to our rooms.

Cons:

Room very stuffy, opened window, screen torn. People smoking close to the hotel by the rear entrance ( not 30 m), even during the night, smoke coming into room.Bed very high, hard for someone with mobility issues to get on. Hot water was scalding! You had to be careful when using! We were in town for Come From Away, as were a lot of other people, suspect the rates may have been adjusted a bit.
