The St John’s hotel was undoubtedly lovely in its day. Unfortunately, it is playing a catch up game with its maintenance.
First the good:
the location is great! Just a brief walk through the pines in order to get to the beach. It is walking distance from great restaurants and stores and has many conveniences on the grounds.
The staff is wonderful. We arrived early and we’re not allowed to check in but there was a young man (Logan) that took a genuine interest in helping us out and our wait was not a problem.
We were on the 9th floor with an ocean view and really enjoyed looking out the windows.
The rooms are spacious and the bed was very comfortable.
The bathroom was well appointed and everything worked the way it was supposed to.
Now the bad:
The elevators are a real problem . It was not uncommon for us to wait four or five minutes and once it was seven minutes. There were also times when you had to wait for a 2nd one because the first was too full.
They call it an “Executive Lounge” but it’s really just a rundown place to get the same monotonous food every morning. I don’t believe it was worth the extra that we paid for it.
The beach does not belong to the hotel but please be careful! It is a lovely place And you might be tempted to not look where you are walking, but please do. My wife found 19 fishing lures washed up on the shore on the two beach walks that she took. (Pictured)
On the website they have pictures of the lovely pools . Unfortunately we didn’t real
