Best Western Plus St. John's Airport Hotel and Suites
The room was amazing, food and drinks in the salon were awesome. Hot tubs jets weren't working so we were given complimentary breakfast. After a rough couple weeks dealing with the death of a loved one, this was just what we needed.

Crossroads Inn & Suites
The Crossroads Inn and Suites was exceptional as usual. The staff was friendly and welcoming, from the front desk to the cleaning staff. The room, as always, was very clean and comfortable. I especially like the balcony rooms.
