Top St. Mary's University Hotel Reviews

Cameo Hotel and Suites

8/10 Good

"This is a refurbished and converted commercial building in the downtown, entertainment district. We had a 2 bedroom suite with a full kitchen with stove, fridge, dishwasher, 3 pc bathroom. It is an open concept living room, kitchen, with large windows that can be opened for fresh air. The building and suite design were well done. We liked that there is complimentary laundry machines on 2 floors. Comfortable beds and the rooms were a decent size. However, be aware that the building backs on to Argyle Street which is a pedestrian only street with several restaurants and bars which play loud music--however the volume was reduced by 11:30 or so. Foam ear plugs are provided, but if you have proper ear plugs, bring them. I slept in the 2nd bedroom, which was away from the sound source and it was quiet in that room. These suites are set up for extended stays."

The Lord Nelson Hotel & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely hotel with great character & facilities. We’d booked a Premium Suite which was v comfortable. Hotel is well placed with public gardens facing and citadel walkable in 15 mins. Room service excellent and staff friendly & helpful. Port walkable in 25 mins. (Only minor complaint is the hairdryer just blew cool air but no problem)"

8/10 Good

"Peter was an excellent host who assisted with accessing the property in a timely manner. Super cute basement apartment in a great, walkable location. Parking is a bit of a challenge as you need to park away from the unit in specific parking zones which are not available where the unit is located. Quiet location with a sweet coffee nook on the patio where two little kittens would join us daily. We named them Seamus and Jewel. We found the unit to be quite dark and would benefit from better lighting solutions. Would absolutely recommend for singles or couples visiting the city."
