Stayed at this hotel this past weekend and was disgusted. Would not recommend this hotel to anyone. The rooms may have been nice 30 years ago, but, apparently have not been updated since. Very dirty. Small. Overpriced. Beds were not even made. Bathrooms dirty and not updated. Very noisy. Pool was freezing cold. The only positive is that the restaurant... More

I have used this hotel over 10 times in the last 20 years or more. As all hotels in Gander their older and need some love but this is my first choose when I need a hotel room in Gander. This hotel is more then a basic hotel and in its day I sure it was really nice. The rooms... More

ok place to stay but you really don't have many choices in gander. Clean and comfortable rooms, free breakfast with waffle maker,toast, cereal, yoghurt, hard boiled eggs, etc... would stay again for sure when visiting family in the area.

There is not a good choice of hotels in Gander. They all seem a bit worn out. This hotel is quite dated The staff are very friendly and the restaurant served good food but the rooms need some renovation. It was probably nice about 30 years ago but nothing has been done to it since. I thought it was a... More

I will begin by saying that it might have just been poor timing. Students were returning to the local university and using many of the rooms to "celebrate" and some kind of dinner theatre was attracting the regional glitterati. I literally struggled to find a parking place in the vast lot which surrounds this vintage 1960's pile. Check in in... More

I had to attend a meeting in Gander and was told it was being held at Hotel Gander so I read the reviews and was not impressed with the comments. However, upon arriving at the Hotel I was pleasantly surprised! Yes my room was dated but at least it was very clean....I have no complaints and would stay there again.

'Eco-friendly hotel'? - built in 1970s and nothing has changed since! That said, the room was comfortable and the housekeeping staff delightful. Our one-night stay to avoid the approaching hurricane was fine. The restaurant served adequate food but was expensive for the quality. At least it is not he usual fast-food outlet that Gander seems to specialise in.

I recently stayed at this hotel during a business trip across Newfoundland. I would not recommend it and I doubt that I will stay here again. The person I was traveling with did not choose to stay in the first room he was assigned and was moved upon request. My room was very dated and small. The bathroom tub had... More
