Great place to experience Saint John on the waterfront.
Pros:

Can't beat the location. Right on the waterfront. Close to downtown and the Imperial Theatre.

Cons:

Was a bit dated and the room wasn't very sound proof so it was a bit noisy.

Stay nice and very good as expected from a previous stay.
Pros:

Very nice hotel with good installations and excellent staff. Very friendly and forthcoming. Breakfast included with good options for all customers. Perfect location in downtown Saint John. I would recommend this hotel to friends visiting Yarmouth. Fantastic view from the window of our room. In fact we are repeating customers.

The fitness room has the exercising machines a bit rusty. Otherwise everything was checking out OK.
