Hotels Near Ariel Place Park in St. John's

Comfortable and clean,

Great room! The panoramic view is fantastic, so it's really worth a little higher price. The room is small, but it is laid out SO well. They made use of every square inch. One thing that is slightly different in the room is that you need to put a room key in the control panel as you enter as it controls the power going on. As you leave the room, you take out your room key, and it turns off all the power. Very green idea. You have a control panel at the entry of the room and on one side of the bed. Motorized blackout blinds are so convenient! There is a slide out drawer under the bed, which we were able to put most of our day to day clothes in for both of us. We hung the rest of our clothes in the closet. Really smart layout of the room, taking into consideration every opportunity of the space and how best to use it. The shower control is a learning process, but the top small lever control is the shower head to the left or the rain shower to the right. The middle is off for the shower. Had a couple of days of the cold water from the rain head when I didn'tt get it turned exactly to the middle when turning off the shower 🥶The lower handle is the temperature. There was also a larger mini fridge in the room that we used to keep drinks and snacks in. I have to give a shout-out to Mitch at the front desk! He was so helpful and informative. The housekeeping was also really great! You can turn on an electronic ”do not disturb” or request a room freshening from the control panel by the door in your room. The staff then can see the lit up panels as to who needs which. One thing I was not thrilled with was the corner cafe. The food choices were really overdone and expensive. They had burned croissants that they kept for the week I was there. They also didn't offer to heat the food. There is tea and coffee available, which I did get in the mornings. The hotel, however, is definitely a place where I will go back to EVERY time. It was conveniently located downtown. The lobby had plenty of seating, a pool table, and WiFi. It seemed that people would stop for a coffee at the cafe and sit in the lobby to work on their laptops and meet up with others. The hotel had some games you could borrow and play as well as some drinks in a cooler to buy. They have the restaurant Terre, but we didn't get a chance to go to. We ate at places all over town recommended by Mitch, all were fantastic.

Stayed a few nights in July as part of vacation to St Johns. Pluses Close to airport and easy access Free parking onsite Room was overall clean. Comfortable bed and pillows. Our room was ok overall. AC if anything was too cold and no issues. Quiet - there was a wedding reception the one night and didnt hear anything Nothing nearby to walk to. But not a long drive or cab ride to get downtown. For ballpark a cab to Quidi Vidi was only $15 one way. Multiple cabs waiting on site for fares if need a cab Cons Entrance has smoking on either side and multiple garbage pails between the sets of sliding doors. Pails always overflowing, cigarette butts overflowing and required walking through smoke in and out every time. Not a great first impression. Shower had lots of long hairs in it when arrived stuck to wall and soap bottles - cleaned up before spouse saw them. Out of body wash and had to ask for more. Coffee machine in room. Coffee replacement varied each day sometimes short on pods and other times short on creamer. Little thing but strange. There is a great coffee/chocolate place on a few blocks away that is worth the trip for morning java Balcony was grey dirty concrete with nothing to sit on. We went out to see it and didnt go out again. Good powerwash and couple of half decent patio chairs could make a difference. On site East Side Marios restaurant - closes at 10 and appears designed for meals only. Nowhere else nearby for late dinner and drinks just made last call on arrival for bite to eat. Kudos to staff for serving us with only 20 mins left in their day. Overall - it was an older Holiday Inn, fairlystandard/ basic overall but we just needed a place to sleep for few nights and was ok. Stayed downtown for other half of our trip and cost double per night

I had an incident where the shower the first day was crap, so bad that we looked at other hotels to stay at right away. I made a slight comment to the made and she said I'll have maintenance look at it. Now, I fully expected to have to call down to the front desk when we got back from our day, then prepare to go else where when it wasn't fixed. However, after the one comment it was all taken care of by maintenance before we got back from the day. I never saw the maid again to say thank you but that was amazing customer service. If fact this boutique chain hotel exuded customer service. Everyone was nice and efficient, bar restaurant staff were helpful, knowledgeable and nice personable. They seem to love to go the extra mile. The food was basic in the hotel but very good. If they good get a lobster dish I bet more people would eat there, but really it was well attended. I am always happy when my impress of the hotel is changed. I love it. Nice clean and pleasant, what more can you ask for. Plus beds were really comfortable! Thank you for a great stay!

The hotel is in a great location. Close to the port and urban area, convenient for shopping.

This hotel is ideally located just steps from nice cafes and the main downtown district while somehow being separate from any bustle. St. John’s is a very hilly city and this Sheraton is on top of a rise, so heading into the action is a downhill stroll. The rooms are comfortable, though many hotels in Newfoundland only offer rooms with two double beds instead of two queens, including this one, which was the main disappointment. The hotel lives up to Marriott standards, with attentive housekeeping and a great restaurant. Newfie hospitality was on full display, with the staff all being friendly and helpful, especially Ashley at the front desk and Jacquina (not sure if I spelled that right) at the restaurant. This is a good hotel to choose for your stay in St. John’s.

This has always been a favourite of ours. But it has gone downhill. Pool was frigid, not as clean as it used to be. Clumps of hair on the side (in the same spots for both days so not sure when they clean), a brown film on the top of the hot tub. Room was nice but some garbage left from previous guests and the heat didn’t work. Breakfast is no longer included with a stay and the options and prices for the breakfast sent us out early to find food elsewhere. The kids had an awesome time with their friends but I will choose another spot for our next adventure as it didn’t feel worth the $190 to be cold the whole time and mildly grossed out at the pool.

What made me give this hotel a 5 star was the customer service I received from our shuttle bus service driver in the early hours to and from the hotel. In todays world customer service is extremely important in choosing a hotel and this man made our trip extremely enjoyable. I would definitely recommend going again.
