Accommodation Scams in St. John's

Festival Season Accommodation Price Gouging

During the George Street Festival in late July and early August and the Mummers Parade in late December, accommodation prices in St. Johns spike dramatically and some operators misrepresent room quality and location to justify inflated rates. Rooms listed as downtown or near George Street may be 20 minutes away by car, and advertised amenities like parking or breakfast are sometimes quietly dropped from bookings.
