Top hotels in Rabbittown
Jag Boutique Hotel
Parking. The hotel was great but we had to park a 15 minute walk away in the dead of winter. It would also be nice to know theres no parking prior to showing up and circling the block for an hour.

Best Western Plus St. John's Airport Hotel and Suites
Super late check in, 3am, quick turn around and checked out by 9am. Friendly staff, quick check in and lovely clean room. Didn't get a chance to sample any other amenities but the prices at the cafe seemed quite reasonable. Would definitely recommend and stay again.
