Well, I did it again, I was in Corner Brook at the Glynmill Inn. What a fabulous place to stay. I highly recommend it! The Inn is so historic and the staff are incredible!! They had my key waiting for me when I got there very late at night.
I tried booking my room through a 3rd party. Never again! As soon as I booked it, I realized what room they were booking me in and I didn't want that room so I ask to cancel it and I would contact Glynmill Inn myself. The agent said it couldn't cancel it and that I had to go through another number. He transferred me but it was the incorrect number. That number was only for paid credit card rooms. He transferred me again and stayed on the line to ensure I got the right number. I did. This agent was able to cancel my room and credit the $5.00 they charged for booking a hotel room for people. Whew! It is always best to contact a hotel yourself instead of getting someone you don't know to do it. You know what you want, how you want it and where you want. Be responsible for your own decision and get what YOU want. I learned the hard way I guess.
I spoke directly to the front desk and they knew who I was. I'm one of their best guest. I asked to have any room but if they could get me the Tutor room, I'd be happy and if I could get it at the price they usually give me. When I flew in to Deer Lake then took the long, dark drive to Corner Brook, I was tired and couldn't wait to relax. I arrived after 12 midnight. I had the best taxi driver and I felt very safe because the drive to Corner Brook from Deer Lake airport is also a highway that have a lot of moose crossing the road and I didn't want to end up dead. I pre-arranged to have the same taxi pick me up and he drove all the way back to get me the next afternoon about 2 pm.
The evening I arrived and finished my meetings, I had a delicious turkey dinner by a young woman, who only just started working there when I began staying at the Glynmill about five years earlier. Now she is a grown woman and still as smiley and friendly as anyone could ever ask of a server. Thank you my dear, I hope you read this because you deserve praise along with the other staff, especially at the front desk. I love ya!
I walked in the door of the Glynmill Inn and the front desk guy was waiting with the Tutor room key in his hand. I was so grateful. I even got the same room rate as I usually do. What a great place. I love it here and you will too.
Enjoy these updated pictures of the Inn and the lovely Tutor room along with some new snowy highway pictures & Marble Mountain Ski Resort.

this is one of the loveliest Inns. You feel at home with the Inn and the Staff. I look forward to going to this place each year. It's my home away from home. It is also near Marble Mountain where great skiing comes every winter. You can't get much better or friendlier people than Newfoundlanders.
