Haven Inn

This was an acceptable basic motel in central St. Anthony. The accomodations were basic and clean but somewhat plain--for example, no fridge or microwave. A good jumping-off spot for local activities. I would stay here again but wouldn't seek it out.

The Inn would probably be rated a 3-star, but the people were amazingly friendly in a real sort of way. The rooms were basic but clean and comfortable. Breakfast was the usual fare, but served "Toutins" - a traditional type of fried bread. Rates for the Inn were very reasonable and location was good to see all the local sites and Lance Aux Meadows two historic sites. On our last morning we had to leave early but were met at the door by a staff from the restaurant to give us some Toutins for the road. She came in early to make them for us ... typical of the friendly staff.

The inn is clean but dated. There is no A/C which probably isn’t usually a problem but there was a very hot spell going on. They did have a fan in the room. Don’t order a burger there unless you like it burned. The staff seemed friendly and directed us where to view icebergs.

This is a decent place to stay but there is nothing special about it. The Haven Inn is very dated. The room was large and had a fridge and microwave. The beds were comfortable. We stayed for 3 nights. There is a restaurant onsite which was good for breakfast. There aren't a lot of options for meals in St Anthony so having a restaurant onsite was a plus. The room was downstairs at ground level and had a window but still it was quite dark. Many rooms we passed seemed to have no natural light at all. The bedspreads were horrendous floral affairs. The bathroom was clean but clearly in need of a refurbishment. On our first day, our room was not made up because we had the DO NOT DISTURB sign on...until 10 am! That certainly gave them plenty of time to go back and clean our room but that did not happen. The front desk staff were not terribly friendly but not unpleasant. There was an added marketing charge on our bill which I didn't catch at the time. These charges were not mentioned in our quoted rate nor were they government taxes. Overall, I would not recommend this place but if you have no other options, it is safe and clean.
