The room was spacious and comfortable with useful amenities. Access was easy and we never had cause to contact any staff. Parking on the street was difficult to find, but the location was central and we could walk to most places.

The site is beautiful and well maintained. The room is clean and nice, stocked with tea and coffee. You also have a mini fridge and microwave in room. Parking is street parking only so I recommend asking for a parking pass early on to ensure you can park in front of the building as it is mainly permit required only parking in the area. less than a block from the main doors is a park with homeless individuals day and night. Although we never had issues with anyone, you do walk past this area or park your vehicle in front or near it. When walking in the main doors there is a strong smell, but once inside your room you can no longer smell it. The staff were quick to respond and provide us with what we needed when asked.

The room had lots of character and a beautiful view of St John’s, the harbour and the ocean. The bed was comfortable and, despite the cold weather, we were very warm. The location was perfect for attending the Brier at Mary Brown’s Centre and exploring the city. We found easy street parking a few steps away (as long as we moved the car by noon). There was no daily service but everything we asked for was done very quickly.

The room was nice and within walking distance of downtown (you need to be able to do hills). Our only serious complaint is the parking. The inn has none, and street parking is complicated. Although the parking rules may be clear to locals, travellers will not know where to find critical information. In our case, we incurred $100 in parking fines in one overnight due to confusing signage and an unmarked street cleaning operation. The property owners posted a small paper notice on the front door, but honestly when you struggling to get your bags in off the street and up the stairs, these things get missed. A better warning system would be useful.
