“There were 4 of us in the room and that was not taken into acct for extras like coffee, tea, tiolet paper. We had to go looking and when requested at the front desk on the first night none were delivered. I had to ask for more from someone doing the rooms the next day”

“The breakfast was as it appears . They bring you your own coffee jug that holds 2 cups it was a solid break nothing bad nothing mind blowing. Just to up it a bit some better sausages and some seasonings for the hash browns but its very comfortable and the server I had was courteous.”

“I've stayed at the Capital Hotel in St. John's over the years with first time being in 2005 just after a year of their opening. In recent years since 2021 been there for work or personal reasons to the city. Overall it's good place to stay. Staff in the restaurant are very nice. Front desk staff are too somewhat. I've stayed at the Sandman, Fairfield and Holiday Inn too where the front desk staff greet you each time you enter. Staff at the Capital not so maybe because of the relation of the desk to the entrance. Meals are good in Jack's Restaurant. The hotel can do with some modernizing. Chairs and tables in the restaurant show their age. Most of the rooms I've stayed in at floors 2 to 5 all have signs of wear and use. Their toilets' are in need of replacing depending on room. Some flush very slow. Made a note about the same room I was booked in May of this year and was also in the same room again last month. Nothing was done about it. Nothing against the staff who are fine folks. The owners need to pay more attention to maintenance. Parking lot could be improved too. some of the parking places have lines that haven't been painted since 2010. Guest parking seems to compete with local trade shows and conventions. Can be tricky at times finding a place to park depending on the season. Overall have no issue going back but if other options came up for the same price I may book elsewhere.”
