"Good location but needs work."

6.0

Good location and nice staff

Our room wasn’t particularly clean and there were lots of screaming children running up the corridors until nearly midnight. The walls were also extremely thin, we heard our neighbours most of the time even their alarm going off in the morning! Lots of renovations going on while we were there which we weren’t aware of before hand.

Everything was great! Was upgraded to a water view room, nice and fast check in.

The only thing is water wasn’t complementary, other than that, everything was perfect

"Très bien"

Le fait que l'hôtel a des restaurants sur place. Quand nous sommes fatigués par les visites durant les vacances ça fait du bien de ne pas avoir à se déplacer pour le repas du soir. Aussi, le personnel est très acceuillant

"This hotel is close to the ferry to take us to Newfoundland."

10.0

We liked that we could borrow the bath chair so was able to take a bath in comfort. Nice view of the water. The Crown restaurant was very good and our server, Lea-ann was excellent.

Didn't like we had to pay $7.00 to park our vehicle when there was plenty of parking available.
