Only criticism is that light in hallway of room was not working.

I loved the location was so central. The room itself is lovely and has everything you need to feel at home! Host was amazing, super responsive and happy to help! Got some great recommendations of places to eat and visit. Would highly recommend this place when visiting St John’s!

It's right downtown so you can hear some street noise but nothing unexpected.

It was a beautiful room. The hosts have the whole 'check-in' process down to a tee. Code/key were ready when I arrived after midnight. Location is perfect.

Everything was great.

The house was very central and within walking distance to many restaurants and things to see and do. The room had everything we needed: comfortable bed; places to plug in our electronics; bathroom with amenities that included shampoo, conditioner, body wash, hairdryer, liquid hand soap; electric kettle; wine glasses and mugs; small fridge; chairs to read on overlooking a great view; plenty of hangers. You have access to a full kitchen if you want to prepare your own meal. They even had a book with suggestions of places to eat and drink.

The location of this accomodation is excellent. Easy walking distance to restaurants.

The floors were not level. The front door entrance needs improvement. The steps were constantly wet and the eve about the door was almost non existant resulting in a torrent of water at the entrance. We stayed 6 days and there was absolutley no house keeping. Contant with the managers of the property and were all over the phone. The owners/manager never contacted us for feed back or how our stay was going.

The following did not bother us but this is a bit of a notice to others: The location is not directly accessible by car. You are either dropped off on the main road below and have to walk up a flight of outdoor steps or dropped off on an alley nearby and have to walk 50m to the front door. Regarding accessibility, for those with mobility issues this would not be a great place. The property has no ramps and the interior stairways are relatively steep and narrow. This is a heritage building and as such does not meet modern accessibility standards. There are no lifts.

The location and size of the room were really excellent. It's right in the middle of downtown and on a fairly busy road but there was no sound inside the room with the windows closed. Definitely within walking distance of all of downtown and much of the surrounding sights. The contactless check-in worked really well. The view of theharbour, when it wasn't foggy, was quite nice.

Charming house. Easy to access and feel at home. Excellent location. Kitchen was perfect to have comfort of a meal at home and to do work at the table.

Very clean, conveniently located and I appreciated the contact / ability to reach out to the hosts if need be. I also appreciated the 'homey' feel of the place, and the sweet touches in my room, i.e., chocolate.

Beautiful rooms, clean, comfortable beds. Nice to be close to shops and restaurants.

This is a primo location to stay in when in St Johns. Very short walk to pubs!, downtown, harbour, restaurants. Cozy and acquaint we have no complaints. The room and bathroom were small but for the price and location, McKay Manor can't be beat. The owners were helpful with email questions. Would recommend highly.

We were in The puffin room which was nice and big, but we’re not informed the bathroom was down the hall until just before check in. Plus the fan in the bathroom was inadequate for the shower as well when taking a shower and someone either flushed the toilet or used the water in another unit, there was no pressure. As well the sheets were really “pilled”, I hate pilled sheets

The location was great, the number of available units was good

Too many stair for seniors. Only one chair to sit on other than the bed. No shelves for toilettes or table. Room okay one but small two. Property around could use some TLC.

Close to everything

The lack of air conditioning was a little challenging. It was quite a warm day in September when we arrived and the room didn’t cool down with the fans. We understand that it may be difficult to change this. Prices are crazy right now and although we would always prefer thst ut was less, we found McKay Manor to be competitively priced.

The location, the uniqueness and the cleanliness. The washroom was updated. Within walking distance of the harbour, Water & George St. Restaurants and attractions. 😀

No breakfast

The bed was a bit saggy and the pillows were really big, so not the most comfortable sleep.

Amazing location and very well priced compared to other places in the city.

The windows should Open at the top For security purposes and to catch a breeze. Put privacy film on the bottom of windows so curtains can be open in daylight. Put Kleenex Tissue in the room and bathmat on slippery bathroom floor. Towels don’t dry in the main floor bathroom due to poor air circulation. Our towels were quite wet on day 2🤷‍♀️

Good location for walking

It is a beautiful property, we didn't always feel safe in the location.

Unfortunately, our friends car was broken into in the parking garage, and it seemed like maybe not the safest street. There was garbage in the alley in front of the building.

The location was great because it was close to many things. The property manager was very helpful in providing a couple of extra folding chairs, tea towels and some loonies we could exchange with our toonies for the laundry.

Shower set up was too high. Curtain poorly positioned.
