“Interesting and Worthwhile”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 July 2011
1
person found this review helpful

Thsi old residence is in an old working class neighborhood that appears to be undergoing a restoration and gentrafication. The residential areas have sort of a gritty charm of a better time long past. The location is very good. You park your car in the street near the hotel. Seemed very safe. You can walk easily to most that the city has to offer. There are historical parks, good restaurants, shopping areas, museums, all within walking distance. Very cool even for July. Cool winds off of the surrounding waters. Steve, the innkeeper, is very helpful with advice on what to see in the Atlantic Provences. TV is worthless. Bathrooms the size of a closet. But Steve makes a reasonably good breakfast. Clean with a certain old world charm.
Good restaurant nearby. Beatty and the Bistro. Good food prepared by nice British lady. Bit pricey, but what the heck.

“Hospitality lacking”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 October 2010

On one hand, this place isn't bad. The rooms are reasonably clean, the location isn't great but it isn't bad and breakfast was okay. But on the other hand, the hospitality you receive counters all the positives. I think the owner has the best of intentions but his brusque manner is a problem - at least it was to the six people in our party. When checking in, he quoted a higher price than originally agreed and when we told him this, he immediately offered to drop the price. Made you wonder if this is standard practice. There was absolutely no customer service and you got the impression you were an annoyance to the owner. Instead of a polite "let me show you to your room", you got a "follow me". I was led to a room off of the breakfast room which was rather strange. The room itself was fine and luckily we planned to be up early so I wasn't woken by the early breakfast guests - what would you do if you wanted a lie in? Breakfast was another opportunity to be bossed around by the owner and in the end, we were relieved to leave the place. There has to be a better place to stay in Saint John.

“Great Place to Stay - Highly Recommend It!!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 August 2010

We found our room to be large and very clean. The owner was very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was just what was promised and was very fresh and enjoyable. The location was ideal, a very short walk to downtown. We would certainly recommend this B & B to our friends. We have stayed in quite a few B & B in Canada and in Europe and this was one of the best. Thanks for a nice stay Steve.

“Excellent value in a very central location with a welcoming host.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 August 2010

The location was my first priority and it certainly met that need.
The "inn keeper " was very friendly, helpful and knowledgable of Saint John and nearby places of interest. He also served a delicious breakfast. I enjoyed being in Saint John so much that I stayed an extra day.

“Gives B&B's a bad name”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 August 2010
1
person found this review helpful

No hospitality - much more like a poorly run hostel.

Breakfast was some sort of orange colored liquid with slices of supermarket cake, a bowl of fruit, boiled eggs, slice of ham... our kids are both vegetarians...

We stayed there to easily get to the fundy ferry - not much help with directions. Fortunately a local driver led us there.

Run - very stingy and as though they clearly don't give a damn about their guests.

Avoid this place.
