Enjoyed my stay here, rooms were great. Very clean, loved all the antiques.

My only complaints, cleaning staff outside my room at 10pm complaining about what they have to clean (this happen several nights). They also did some repairs on the main entrance a 1030pm. I would suggest all cleaning and maintenance be completed during the day when most guests are out. Not too nice when you have to get up early in the morning for a conference.

Great breakfast and great building, great location.

Not sure how local the owners are, I was told they are from Toronto.

Really did enjoy my stay other then being kept up a few nights by staff.

First off--do not take the waiting airport taxis, as suggested by the hotel. The airport info desk will place a free call to a much cheaper taxi. I went to St. John's for the late-night live music scene, and thus, to sleep late. The inner room I had reserved was not available when i arrived, and the room I was given was literally a few feet from the bus stop, with buses starting at 6:20 a.m. I was later switched upstairs to the room off of the kitchen, which smelled and sounded like waking in a McDonald's at 7am, babies included. Picture a house that your 90 year old granny buys, and then tries to remodel herself, and then gives up, mid-remodel. The owners drop in 3 times a year from Manitoba. They don't see the poorly functioning tv, the closet doorknob that falls out of the door, the painted over exposed wiring, and so on . The third room I tried in my week-long stay, was very pretty. When the rains came, so did the puddle on the floor of the bathroom. Apparently, the leaks had occurred for years, from the look of the water stains. The staff was great, though they leave early afternoon. Often the front door was left unlocked, and no one mentioned the guest lounge in the adjoining building!! And to add insult to injury, 15% maple syrup. Not even the real stuff.

This is a very popular B&B located in downtown St. John's. The rooms are spacious and well appointed and en suite was very large. This establishment is basically two row houses that have been renovated and serve as one B&B. Breakfast is served on the top floor of one side so if you are staying on the other side you must go outside to go to breakfast. Both sides are three stories high so if you have problems with stairs or carring your luggage up stairs book one of the ground floor rooms however you will still have to climb one set of stairs to go to breakfast. There is no 24 hour reserved parking( parking permits for the church across the street are only good from 1600 hrs to 0800 hrs the next morning) but 24 hour street parking is easy to find just up the street.

This was my first time at a BnB, as it was the only room we could get during the George St Festival. What a great experience! We had a huge room, located within walking distance to everything we wanted to see. Breakfast was spent with great people and amazing view, all at a price we would have paid at a regular hotel without the home cooked breakfast. Thank you to The Roses, you got me hooked on BnB's now.
