Beautiful old hotel. No elevator but that added to the charm in my opinion. The continental breakfast & staff were both great. Parking was tight but we were able to snag a spot in the back parking lot.

The breakfast is very nice and the staff is very friendly. We (including our 9yo dog) enjoyed our stay here. The only thing to note is that there are quite some stairs so if you’re mobility constraint, it might not be a good choice.

The cooms where clean and well laid out, the staff was very nice, we had an early morning that at most morning would have ment missing breakfast but they set up a little earlier so we was still able to grab something on the way out.

I’ve stayed at the Inn at St. John 4 or 5 times now and I am consistently impressed by not only the excellent vibes~ (beautiful building decorated nicely) but also how clean and safe it feels. The staff are kind and friendly and my wife and I felt so comfortable staying here as a queer couple for our wedding anniversary!

We had a great stay! It was a little bit of a walk to the harbor area but we did it and enjoyed the mile stroll! We were very comfortable at the inn. Our room and bathroom were a bit smaller than expected but it was great for what we needed!

The room was very clean and comfortable. The stairs were steep but manageable. Appreciated the robes! Parking is limited. The room has everything you need except a coffee maker but that’s available in the lobby 24/7. Really enjoyed our stay.
