I’m in a hotel over 200 nights per year . ##### Michael Stayed 6 nights in Sep 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Carly Jun 4, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Disliked: Amenities Check-in experience wasn't great - had to message the property twice to get the door codes. The code provided was then incorrect so I had to call the number they provided. However, they did respond promptly to my messages and calls and I was able to get into my room relatively quickly. A minor inconvenience. Seems like some of the rooms were being renovated so there was a bit of noise from that but nothing major. The hotel is in a great location with easy access to shops, restaurants, and pubs. Overall it was clean and the room was really nice. No amenities but if you're just looking for a place to sleep it's perfect. ##### Carly Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Jun 30, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Cabot Boutique Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/St-Johns-Hotels-Cabot-Boutique-Hotel.h2184259.Hotel-Information) > > [Dreamcatcher Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Stephenville-Hotels-Dreamcatcher-Lodge.h13141633.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott St. John's Newfoundland](https://www.expedia.ca/St-Johns-Hotels-Fairfield-Inn-Suites-By-Marriott-St-Johns-Newfoundland.h882760.Hotel-Information) > > [Days Inn by Wyndham Stephenville](https://www.expedia.ca/Stephenville-Hotels-Days-Inn-By-Wyndham-Stephenville.h9913.Hotel-Information) > > [The Guv’nor](https://www.expedia.ca/St-Johns-Hotels-The-Guvnor.h74983405.Hotel-Information) > > [Monroe House Executive Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/St-Johns-Hotels-Monroe-House-Executive-Suites.h16797800.Hotel-Information) > > [Monastery Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/St-Johns-Hotels-Monastery-Spa-Suites-By-The-Leaside-Group.h13332960.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn St. John's Conference Centre by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/St-Johns-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-St-Johns-Conference-Centre.h24373.Hotel-Information) > > [Iberostar Waves Costa Dorada - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Puerto-Plata-Hotels-Iberostar-Costa-Dorada-All-Inclusive.h559709.Hotel-Information) > > [Sandman Signature St. John's Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/St-Johns-Hotels-Sandman-Signature-St-Johns-Hotel.h22672900.Hotel-Information) > > [Comfort With A Touch Of Class #1](https://www.expedia.ca/St-Johns-Hotels-Comfort-With-A-Touch-Of-Class-1.h92034480.Hotel-Information) > > [Dvele Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/St-Johns-Hotels-Dvele-Boutique-Guesthouse.h93739912.Hotel-Information) > > [Family Hotels in Alberta](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Alberta-Family-Hotel.0-0-d11111-tFamilyHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Capital Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/St-Johns-Hotels-Capital-Hotel.h1110754.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express & Suites St John's Airport by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/St-Johns-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Suites-St-Johns-Airport.h11966059.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Merritt](https://www.expedia.ca/Merritt-Hotels.d10585.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Best Western Plus St. John's Airport Hotel and Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/St-Johns-Hotels-Best-Western-Plus-St-Johns-Airport-Hotel-And-Suites.h20154318.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels with a Lazy River in Punta Cana](https://www.expedia.ca/Punta-Cana-Hotels-Hotels-With-A-Lazy-River.0-0-d601906-tHotelswithaLazyRiver.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Leaside Manor by The Leaside Group](https://www.expedia.ca/St-Johns-Hotels-Leaside-Manor-By-The-Leaside-Group.h6948228.Hotel-Information) > > [Memorial University](https://www.expedia.ca/St-Johns-Hotels-Memorial-University.h11436830.Hotel-Information) > > [Premiere Suites - St. John's Signal Hill](https://www.expedia.ca/St-Johns-Hotels-Premiere-Suites-St-Johns-Signal-Hill.h14985517.Hotel-Information) > > [Ramada by Wyndham St. John's](https://www.expedia.ca/St-Johns-Hotels-Ramada-By-Wyndham-St-Johns.h575944.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Delhi (DEL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/del/toronto-to-delhi) > > [Flights from Pearson Intl. to TYO-All Airports](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/tyo/toronto-to-tokyo) > > [Air Canada](https://www.expedia.ca/Air-Canada-Flights.cAC.Travel-Guide-Airlines) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Banff (YBA)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/yba/toronto-to-banff) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Miami (MIA)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/mia/toronto-to-miami) > > [Flair Airlines](https://www.expedia.ca/Flair-Airlines-Flights.cF8.Travel-Guide-Airlines) ### Packages > [Disneyland® Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Disneyland-Resort-Anaheim-Resort.d6025613.Vacation-Attraction)
