Crossroads Inn & Suites is grateful for the opportunity to work with amazing people across our home province of Newfoundland and Labrador and the visitors that stay with us from Canada and beyond. We value the relationships that have built and are always looking to make our community a better place. That is why we jumped into action in January 2020 when Snowmageddon hit the Avalon region. Snowmageddon was a record-breaking storm that resulted in the city shutting down roadways and declaring a state of emergency. The Newfoundland Herald reported that, at its peak, the storm had caused 15,000 power outages, 100 cm of snow had fallen, and wind gusts of 150 kilometers raced through the Avalon area. Crossroads Inn & Suites is located on the Avalon Peninsula, serving as a key location point for emergency responders who arrived from all over Canada. We were in the center of the storm, and ready to help those who worked day and night to repair roads, power, access emergency healthcare, and essential services. The storm never took a break and crews worked tirelessly around the clock in the hurricane-force winds and bitter cold. The Crossroads Inn & Suites didn’t think twice, knowing […]

2017 Tim Hortons Brier Special Hotel Rate To celebrate the 2017 Tim Horton’s Brier, the Crossroads Inn and Suites is offering a special nightly rate of $109.99. Call us today to make your reservation or book online today! About the 2017 Tim Hortons Brier The Tim Hortons Brier is probably the truest of any Canadian sporting championship. Fifteen teams, representing each of Curling Canada’s 14 Member Associations as well as the defending champion Team Canada, compete for the Brier Tankard, the refurbished silver trophy that was presented to the winners of the Brier during Macdonald Tabacco’s 50-year sponsorship. The trophy was re-introduced in 2001 in Ottawa at the first Nokia Brier, when the famed Labatt Brier Tankard was retired after the 2000 Brier in Saskatoon. The City of St. John’s Newfoundland was successful in their bid for the 2017 Tim Horton’s Brier. This is the first time the Brier will be held in Newfoundland and Labrador in over four decades. The Canadian men’s curling championship will be held at Mile One Center in downtown St. John’s on March 4-12.
