Popular Frequent Flyer Hotels
Delta by Marriott St. John's - closest major hotel to George street, partially renovated in the past year, many rooms have harbour views, club lounge
Sheraton Hotel Newfoundland - close to Signal Hill, but a bit further from George Street; panoramic views (best for views) and has a club lounge, but the hotel is very dated and long overdue for a renovation, and elevators are slow/unreliable
Courtyard by Marriott Downtown - good location near the Sheraton, good views, but typical Courtyard spec/amenities
Alt Hotel - new hotel, central downtown location, affiliated with Le Germain Group
Hilton Garden Inn - newer hotel, located near the Delta
Several local boutique options including the Jag, Blue, or Murray Premises for those wanting something with more local character

With the list down to just 3 of us, I too am removing myself. Even if by some chance it opens up by Friday, it's a long way to go to see people who I've either seen in the past two days, or are a short-haul hop from my current locatioon.

Yeah, given that there's no movement on opening up the border for leisure visitors, I'm not expecting to be able to travel to NL in the next week and am going to cancel my flight reservation as well.
