"Generally, a good stay and if we were in St. John's again we would seriously consider staying at Sandman. Unfortunately, neither the pool or the gym were available. I had to ask for a rubber mat for the shower and was told mats were only provided for customers with bath tubs, which we did not have. That is a terrible policy as the shower was very slippery. As well, there needs to be a review about allowing pets to stay in rooms. We had a very yappy little obnoxious dog right next door, but he, (and his owner) were both given another room. There was also a very large and vicious looking dog, fortunately muzzled) walking the halls with its owner. I hate to think what could happen if that dog was somehow allowed to escape. Very good that a Denny's and Moxie's were both on site. Front desk staff were very helpful and welcoming. Good parking accommodations."
