A pleasant stay stepping back in time.
Pros:

The breakfasts were delicious, hot and on time. Mary was awesome and went out of her way to help in any way she could. Great to chat with her. The towels were luxurious and the beds VERY comfortable. The room was quiet. The bathroom was spacious.

Cons:

The house is beautiful and is a heritage property, but it is in need of some serious TLC to keep that status. There is dry rot on the pillars at the front entrance, the front garden is unkempt. First impressions seeing the tired outside had us worried. There is no elevator so be prepared for plenty of stairs, which was not mentioned online. The jets in the jacuzzi tub in our room didn’t work and the shower head was clogged and had poor output despite there being good water pressure. A small elevator would be beneficial for guests who struggle with stairs. No powder room on the main floor.

Pros:

We just finished a 2 night stay at the beautiful Ryan Mansion in St. John's. Our room was fantastic with the most comfortable king size bed and spacious bathroom. We were given plush robes and slippers.

The most enjoyable part of the Inn is the hostess Mary! She is so friendly, accommodating and provides the best recommendations for your stay. She provided the best homemade breakfast we have ever had. Mary goes out of her way to ensure all your needs are met.

We highly recommend you stay at this Mansion with so much history!

Beautiful, historic building but it is very pricey.
Pros:

Location was fantastic. Big rooms with lots of history. The lady in charge was friendly.

Cons:

I wish there was more flexibility with breakfast. We had to leave early on our last day and because it was before 8:30 am, we did not get breakfast.
