โI found the Hilton Garden Inn to be a modern, bright and clean hotel, with friendly staff with good amenities. My room was spacious and included a small but effective refrigerator and microwave and more.
I appreciated that there was nice flooring and no carpet in my room. It made the room feel even clearer and more modern.
The only minor annoyance was that the bathroom door would not stay open. It is not that I wanted to door open all the time, but when I was washing up and really wanted to...
โWe had an awesome time at Mallard Inn. The rooms are newly renovated and beautifully designed. The property is a historic building right next to Quidi Vidi Wharf. As the property just opened under new ownership when we visited, there were minor hickups (like eg. a missing bin in the room) which have been quickly resolved by the attentive and friendly stuff. Parking on site is limited and extended dinner options require a car to go into town.โ
โFront Desk was conditional to who was working. A couple staff were very enthusiastic and helpful, empathetic to what the Air Canada mess created. Couple others were "just business", no smile, enthusiasm or empathy - lacking a personal touch. Lounge bartenders were exceptional. Rates were reasonable as well.โ
โStaff were very helpful and friendly. It was convenient having the kitchenette. I would have liked the living room area to be a bit brighter. A little frightened by the wildfires but out of the hotelโs control. โ
โLocated in a suburban area just outside of St. John's. Not a vacation destination in itself, but easy access to chain stores and restaurants for convenience and getting set up for a more extended trip.โ
