I needed an extra night and the staff was very accomodating and helpful. My husband ws not going t5o be released so it was a difficult situation.

Internet access, very friendly front of house staff. Surprise extra charge at end of stay for room service .$30."0 is huge, told at end of stay after leavi g a large tip for room service. Unfair and uncalled for. Charges should be up front.

Not much really. The hotel was not the cleanest. The bedding had turned grey from white, the sheets were not ironed. The carpets were worn and the whole place was tired.

The shuttle bus to the Pier/Shopping area was handy and the IHOP next door was convenient. The decor was a bit dated, but everything was clean and worked efficiently.

This hotel is convenient to work, we stayed coz we had party at work. Place in the comment section if there's discount for St Johns employees, I was told there is but I should have called this hotel directly.

I enjoyed my stay in the best western the staff were very good in all requests, the bed is probably the most comfortable bed I have ever stayed in really was amazing. The free wifi and parking was such a main reason why we stayed there considering the other hotels charging the money for those facilities but the best western has the right idea. Having the ihop next door with discount for residents is also very handy indeed There is only one bad thing about my stay was the walls, the walls are thin so if someone has there aircon or bathroom light on you can hear it, there was times where me and my wife couldn't sleep due to this buzzing noise. I'm not sure what the hotel can do to stop this but it won't really stop me from staying there again the positives do outweigh the negatives
