A cute and quaint little inn, it was perfect for our city stay. It was easy to access from the highway and easy to get around town by city bus. The staff was helpful. Light sleepers should request a room away from the main street which tends to get noisy at various times through the night.

Room was dark and smelled sort of dirty. The blanket on the bed was threadbare and had holes in some places. The A/C unit used for heat smelled bad and never really got warm. The parking was so limited that I had to park on the street both nights. There is no elevator so I had to pull my luggage up a steep and narrow staircase to my room. Staff was friendly. There was coffee and tea available at all hours. Overall it was just okay but much too expensive for what was offered.

I’d like to preface this by saying it’s quite a bit cheaper than the downtown hotels, and not too far out of downtown. It’s older, dated, rooms are small, it has a very basic breakfast. The room was fine to sleep and shower, but not for hanging around inside. Free arming is a plus, (40-45 downtown). We easily walked downtown and had a cheap fast Uber ride back. We saved so much money, we might do it again. If you have managed expectations, it’s fine.

Decent
A bit quirky, older European style hotel. Rooms are small, slightly dated, bed too, did have a sink. Breakfast is your typical American. Staff friendly. Steep stairs to go up, no elevator. We shared a bathroom. Takes about 25 min or so to walk to old port. Great coffee, bakery 5 min walk away. Overall was decent. Close to airport

Affordable Nice Hotel with No Elevator
The staff at Inn at St. John could not have been friendlier or more helpful. We had a nice room on the top floor. However, I should have read the website more carefully when we arrived with a lot of heavy luggage. I didn't realize there was no elevator. The next time, I will request a room on a lower floor. Also, the mattress could stand to be replaced soon as it sagged noticeably.

Liked: Cleanliness
The inn is quite pretty and full of character and our room was large and clean. Our room faced the street and it was pretty loud, so loud it sounded like our window was open. We played brown noise during the night, which helped. The breakfast was good, but not a lot of seating, which was ok. We ended up just taking it to our room. Loved having breakfast included.

The property was okay. Probs: Staff was very kind. The room was spacious. Cons: The bed was terrible, so old and uncomfortable! The windows were old - we could hear everything from the street which was quite loud past midnight. Also, our room was on the 3rd floor… there’s no elevator and no help to get luggage upstairs, so we were left to haul our luggage up three very steep/narrow flights of stairs. It was fine for a night, but probably wouldn’t stay here again.

The hotel is a unique, old hotel. However, it does not have an elevator. The rooms have no place to hang clothes. The lighting could be better. The room has a private bathroom, but it is off the hall. The room does have a sink, which is convenient. There is no control for heat in the room. There is a small refrigerator in the room, as well as a small microwave and coffee maker.

When we arrived at this property- it was raining. There was no parking spots left in the lot and the overflow is on the street. Upon checking in, we had to ask how to get our things into the hotel with no parking spots as we were halfway down the block. Was not aware that there are NO elevators and had to haul all suitcases up stairs. The other “kid” behind the desk could have offered to help. We were not the only guests checking in that were surprised that we had to carry suitcases up a steep staircase. The NOISE was incredibly loud from the street if you have a room in the front of the hotel. It quiets down in the middle of the night- around 1am, but starts up again at 6am. The room was nice and large, clean.
