Cozy, Relaxing, Center City Retreat with Private Rooftop Deck!
The place was beautiful. The kitchen had everything needed for morning coffee and other meals if required. Shopping was close enough to get some essentials if needed. Taxi to the downtown core was easy to secure. Would absolutely go there again if we travel to NFLD
