Prefect vacation

Continental breakfast could include cereal and bagels. For a 7 day stay muffins were getting boring and instant oatmeal in warm weather is not overly appealing. Our bed was very comfortable. A feather top on the mattress I think!

Quaint and a nice break from the traditional box brand chains. Has a rustic 1980s feel with splashes of luxury added in. I would stay here again when in St. John's, no question.

Called in advance to confirm but was informed that our registered emotional support pet was not allowed and they still charged us for the room saying Expedia had to issue credit. Expedia was not able to help. Luckily we found another property.

Must stay in St. John’s

We had an excellent stay at the Murray promises hotel, the location could not be better just steps away from excellent excellent restaurants, things to do during the day as well as things to do during the evening and night. The rooms were very clean, updated, and comfortable. I would certainly recommend this place if you’re visiting St. John’s.

This hotel is great for people that prefer a more interesting space than a conventional hotel. Close walk to the downtown area and the staff was really friendly. Note if youre on the 4th floor you need to walk up one flight of stairs.
