Disappointing , advertises as in the "heart of the city " . It's not , a 40 min walk to downtown . Rooms pictured on website looked nice , ours was not . It was in the back motel area , old and dirty , in need of TLC . No window , no view , no house keeping . We were there for 4 days and never once had our bed made , towels and facecloths changed , or garbage taken out . Staff not overly friendly or accommodating . Would not stay there again or recommend

The worst place in St Johns a dive, they are currently holding back $600 on my sons Visa card for no reason, asked to speak to manager and they said they didn’t know when he will be in. Next step NTV NEWS!!! Oh and the tv never worked either!!!!

non-Function Rooms - I first left simple & clear voice & email messages for the booking person - and later for the hotel's General Manager. I wanted to book those nice-looking Function Rooms upstairs at the pub. A week later they still haven't bothered to contact me! In such a case of zero service, "ZERO" is clearly the most accurate rating. So much for years of supporting my local pub ... Moving on now.

Its a dump in a very bad part of St Johns. Avoid this hotel completely. Food in bar was awful. Window screen was slashed, shower was broken and rough looking people were milling around outside all night. We didn't feel safe and left as soon as we could in the morning

We had a quaint stay at The Guv’nor. It had all the amenities and benefits one would expect from a three star inn. If a clean place to sleep and a washroom is all you’re looking for, and at an affordable price, this is a great choice. A plus is the fine Guv’nor Pub connected to the inn.

The hotel is a real gem with a lot going for it. The rooms are a nice size and the whole hotel is kept quite clean. Staff are very friendly and helpful and having the affiliated pub next door - which serves excellent food - is a real plus. While not downtown by any means it is close enough by bus or taxi. I walked to the harbour front and it took about 30 minutes.

The pros: super good price reception was really nice and let us check in 3 hours early. Tv had lots of channels and the beds were comfortable. Unfortunately the cons are too many to overcome: the halls have an odd musty smell, the back parking lot is sketchy looking, there is an audible and constant humming sound (I Think from utility room down the hall), and everything in hotel seems dated. I suspect this hotel was really nice 25 years ago. Too bad. But unless your number one priority is price, I think it's worth it to pay a bit more for something nicer.

The room was accessible through the courtyard. A reduced rate for medical appointments. Very quiet. Had to take a room with two doubles due to short notice booking, however, they were able to accommodate us. Staff very pleasant and friendly, especially the person who served us in the pub.
