Marigold, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

What you’d expect from a three star hotel. If you’re looking for an affordable night not far from St. John’s Airport, this is a good choice. The attached Guv’nor Pub is a great bonus; it has very good food.

calico, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Maintenance and front desk staff went above and beyond the call of duty to accommodate our needs of a freezer to store freshly purchased fish. It really made the whole experience stand out and apart from other compatible hotels in the area. Thank you and I'll definitely stay again!

It appears to be an older hotel that needs some updating but friendly and helpful front desk staff
