The staff was welcoming and accommodating. The rooms were clean and well maintained. Breakfast at East-Side Mario's was good - while they didn't have a lot of vegetarian options, they were willing to substitute, which was great! Newfoundlanders are wonder people! The next time I've there, I will stay at the Holiday Inn Conference Centre by the St. John's airport.
