Hotel Pantai di Saint John

The older hotel, while connected to a conference center, is perfectly situated for walking downtown. Parking is free in a connected garage, a bonus in the heart of the city. Terri at the front desk made us feel welcome and even upgraded our room to a suite with claw-foot tub. Nancy in the restaurant was cheerful and sunny on our rainy day. Room itself was large, bed was comfortable and towels were fluffy. There was a gas fireplace, which we used for heat. Wi-Fi was good. In all, a nice stay!

This will be our sixth different Hilton we have had the pleasure of staying in. We tend to find that of all the Hilton brands, the Hilton itself is a cut above some of the others (except of course the unique resorts and the Curio properties). This one was OK, not exceptional. We had been given an upgrade, so we were expecting something special and exciting. It really was just ordinary. The room was the size of a typical Hampton Inn (although larger than the European hotels). We were given free continental breakfast, and that was really ho-hum. Hampton Inns provide much more. Muffins were tasteless, and the fruit cups were tiny and not exciting. Coffee was good, and the service was good. The one bizarre finding was power in the bathroom. We always bring our electric toothbrush that needs charging, and a nightlight for added safety in the night. Neither would operate with the bathroom lights turned off. Apparently the outlets turn off too. Not a great set-up. Our view was nice, and that was part of the upgrade.

Got a last-minute reservation here in a torrential downpour when our ferry to Bar Harbor was cancelled and we ended up in St. John. Surprisingly, the beds at this Holiday Inn Express were superb - firm, with excellent back support - better than at 99% of the other hotels we have stayed at (including many with higher ratings). The pool was clean and well-maintained, and long enough to swim serious laps in. Our whole short, rainy stay here was comfortable, and we would happily return (if the sun ever comes out).

Although the renovations are nice and the rooms very comfortable, we went for a hockey tournament and it was not family friendly or team accommodating. The hotel was full and they had one elevator working. We were on the 8th floor which means we had to carry everything up 8 floors. I had to carry a backpack with me just to avoid having to go back to the room and walking 8 flights. They had multiple teams staying but would only let them use the conference rooms for $250 which I have never experienced at any other hotel. The consequence of that is parties in rooms. I had to stop a team awards in the room next to us at 12:30 am with 40+ people. And although breakfast was not included, which we knew, $19 for a kids breakfast is ridiculous. The “entertainment “ centre next door is a nice feature and automatically assumes it’s a family hotel - it’s not. But 50% of the centre was broke or not operating so not a big draw in reality. Typically we only come to SJ for hockey so this hotel is off the list.

酒店位於downtown，近火車站，大型超市superstore 就在斜對面，還是蠻方便的～走去water front 大約1.5KM。

I had the most amazing stay at the Hampton Inn and Suites. The executive manager ensured I had a wonderful stay. She was so friendly and welcoming, which made me feel at ease in a country I had never visited before. I would also like to note that the young blonde housekeeping member of staff, I think her name was Haylee, was fantastic. Finally the breakfast I loved. I would definitely come back to stay at such a friendly hotel. I truly has the best stay.

We booked this hotel on-line, listed as a member of the Choice Hotel line (and therefore with member benefits), but with the name Saint John Inn. When we arrived, we could see the original sign was covered with a fabric one and the “new” name of Saint John Inn on the sign. It will be a Rodeway Inn when they get all the transactions done. It is pet-friendly. The room was adequate. It was on the ground floor with a patio door to the outside. We never could figure out how to take off the lock to open the patio door however. It did have a microwave and fridge with a freezer compartment. While there was coffee in the lobby, there was no breakfast (COVID?). One of the doors by the office (but in the hallway) to the outside had a sign saying EXIT only, yet, it didn’t latch so people could come and go just by pulling it open and bypassing the desk. The staff was friendly and helpful in their recommendations for food. The “high-speed internet” wasn’t high-speed at all. And there were no security/password measures to use the internet. When we arranged for the room, on-line, we went to the website, which said that people who stayed during the week could get a $5 Tim Hortons or Starbucks gift card or other options, just for staying. We registered for one of them. But when we asked at the front desk, they didn’t know anything about it. There was even a poster stating about it in the hall way, but still no recognition of the offer. All they could do was give me a phone number to call, which gave me another number to call for customer relations. They didn’t know about it, but ended up transferring me to a fellow who tried to sell me a 4 day/3 night vacation package to stay at one of their hotels and listen to the time-share sales pitch. Probably won’t stay there again.

酒店位置不錯，旁邊有個加油站，離老城區也不遠，步行距離。有個大停車場，停車便利。早餐也不錯，該有的都有了。室內乾淨整潔，床也挺舒服，就是沒電梯！行李多沒電梯是真頭疼啊！

房間寬暢，乾淨衛生，設備齊全，離幾個景點很近，靠近高速，上海邊步道和去市中心很方便。信價比高，衹是走道上有煙味，但還是值得推薦。
