The Guv'nor Inn is perfectly located for shopping. It was easy to find and parking next door to my room was a bonus. Avalon Mall is just minutes away. The rooms were extremely clean, and the beds seem to have brand new mattress with pillow tops. The food in the pub was great.

We stayed at this hotel arriving very late. Check-in was super friendly and breakfast was included in the rate we paid. The hotel is older but well maintained and very clean. The bed was so comfortable we did not want to get up and the breakfast was delicious. We would certainly stay there again.

We were extremely disappointed! Small, dingy room, loud air conditioner and windows wouldn't open. The pub was supposed to be open until midnight but was closed an hour early and the desk staff didn't know. Desk staff very unhelpful, keys didn't work, directions unclear.

We travelled Newfoundland this summer and arrived on motorcycles on one of the wettest, windiest cold days of August. We originally booked for only 1 night, but when we arrived we immediately decided we were going to spend the rest of our trip to Newfoundland here. The first room we had was a smoking room, but since it was the... More

Booked this hotel as it was close to the Memorial University Campus - about a 3 minute walk. I was delivering my daughter to university and the price was about 30% less than the chains. The rooms are small, but have wireless Internet and a bar fridge. The beds are the most amazing aspect - great linens and the most... More

Booked our reservations in July/11 for 2 nights stay in Sept./11. Upon arrival at 4pm we were told that our room was not ready yet. What happened to 3pm check in policy? Gave them the benefit of the doubt and went to get something to eat. Came back around 6pm and were told again that our room was still not... More

I was In St. John's on business and stayed at the Guv'nor Inn. I think it was the best night's sleep I ever had! The mattress was amazing... it was a Serta Pillow Top Perfect Sleeper. I took the liberty of checking.
