I always love my stay here. Would have been nice to know the pool and fitness area were closed for renovations though. Other than that it was perfect

DoubleTree by Hilton St. John's Harbourview
Room was just ok. The lighting was very poor and the dresser was weirdly shaped so it wasn’t user friendly. They did not have the toiletries stocked and soap and tissues were empty.
