Fodor's Expert Review Holiday Inn—Government Centre

180 Portugal Cove Rd., St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador, A1B 2N2, Canada

The surprise at this chain hotel is the location: walking trails from the property meander around small lakes and link with the Grand Concourse hiking trails. Pippy Park is also accessible by trail from across the street. The in-house restaurant serves casual Italian food and burgers. The hotel, midway between the airport and downtown, is best suited for guests with a vehicle.

PROS

  • outdoor heated pool in summer
  • easy to find from airport or Trans-Canada Highway

CONS

  • a long walk to downtown
  • rooms are fine but nothing special
  • restaurant is part of a chain
