This place is hands down the coolest stay I've ever had. Step back in time to the 1890's and kick your feet up. Unreal experience from start to finish. Bravo Chipman Hill Suites! Also to the person who works hard to keep the place clean, great job! Every surface was immaculate. I definitely recommend staying here.

It feels like a home away from home! Very clean, cozy and quaint. The furniture and decorations are consistent with the victorian era of the buildings and in good shape. As an antique building they have done such a great job in keeping the original feel and providing all the modern amenities.

The property is in great shape and a wonderful old building. The rooms are spacious and well appointed as well. While it may seem old that just adds to its charm. I appreciated the self check in of the property. The area however is like some of Saint Johns unfortunate less than safe feeling areas, but that's not the property's fault so I won't hold that against them.

This property is beautiful, you think you live 150 years ago. What a beautiful house, the sitting room, living room, winter garden, we had the room with the balcony. I wish we would have had more nights. But the parking is a night mare. During the day was not a problem, but in the evening, we came in at around 22h OMG. We parked were we told to park across by the school, but then we had to move by 7am to a different spot, and than find one. We lucked out after 1 hr searching, we of the guest left and we could get his spot.

Dear Valued Guest, Ingrid;Thank you so very kindly for your wonderful 5* review above. We were so happy to share this beautiful Victorian mansion with you for your recent stay here in historic uptown Saint John. I am so sorry you had so much difficulty with parking. The day you were here was a very busy day with a huge conference uptown and and it made things tricky for parking. I wish you had given us a call so we could have helped you.Thank you again for giving us this 5* review and not holding the parking issue against us. We simply act as an "agent" for the City with regard to the parking permits and have no control over same. If you are returning to Saint John, please contact me personally so I can ensure you do not have this problem again.Sincerely,SusanSusan FullertonChipman Hill Suites

Tastefully decorated suite in a beautiful old building. Very clean and bed was exceptionally comfortable..Close and therefore walkable to uptown restaurants and to the Sunday market in Queens Square. Paid for Parking pass in front of building or in any residential area very convenient. Wifi was unreliable, password not always accepted. Disturbing noise emission from the neighbouring building’s a/c prevented us from opening balcony door to vent our suite.These two issues bring down the rating from excellant to great.

An old Loyalist style building with a curving staircase and high ceilings. If you are looking for style, sitting rooms with large windows and furniture dated to the Loyalist period then this is your spot. A true 1800’s experience. There is no elevator, of course, so be prepared to carry your cases up the stairs. Our suite was well appointed and although not large, large enough for the two of us on an anniversary trip. Near the community centre of King Square (2 min walk) and all the shops of uptown Saint John. The famous City Market is opposite the square which resides at the top of King Street. The waterfront at the bottom of King is alive with walkers who don’t mind getting exercise on the ‘San Francisco’ type streets. When the cruise ship is in uptown is extremely busy. Be aware, this city takes its statutory holidays seriously. Everything shuts down on the stat holiday, even on the August New Brunswick Day holiday at the height of tourist season, as we discovered.

The property itself is really lovely. Old Victorian, great period furniture, beautifully decorated. Our room was clean and bed comfortable. Thoughtfully appointed for our convenience...thick towels and nice bed linen, Coffee and tea, small kitchenette. Great communication by the innkeeper! However, the area didn't feel that safe, with sketchy/drunk or stoned people walking about. Walked down to the restaurant area but made sure we came back when it was still light.

We chose this property for the location and the experience of the period building, and it did not disappoint. Lots of great food and beer options close by, and walking distance to the markets and harbour. We knew going in that there weee a lot of stairs, and being on the third floor we certainly got a daily workout. The room was clean and had everything we needed for our 10 day stay. We never had a problem parking across the road, but it was summer break so no school.

Downstairs is very nice, especially the conservatory. Have to walk about one and a half flights to go up one level. Parking is horrible, necessitating moving our car each morning at 7:30 am due to no on-street parking the night before. The bed was also very tall making getting on the bed difficult (especially for those of us who are in our 70s).

Dear Valued Guest Shu;Thank you for choosing Chipman Hill Suites for your recent stay here in historic uptown Saint John. We were very happy to share this beautiful Victorian mansion with you and we appreciated your business. Reading your review above made me very sad. I have spent a long time reviewing every possible aspect of your stay to see how we could have done better.I am sorry you found the parking to be difficult. On street parking does not require your vehicle to be moved. The parking at the school is free, and therefore anyone using it must comply with the times it is available so the teachers have somewhere to park when they arrive for work each morning. For on-street parking, occasionally it takes a time or two around the block to find a space for on street parking. I am sad you couldn't easily find a space on the street one evening. Had you given us a call, one of our staff who lives nearby would have come to assist you.In checking your arrival and departure dates, I see that two of your three days were on the weekend when you could park 24/7 free at the school across the street. I am sorry that the on-street parking on your third night didn't work easily for you.I apologise that you found the stairs difficult. They are beautiful, but as someone with mobility difficulties myself (I am also a senior citizen), I know they can present a challenge. We mention this in the email we send to you when you are booking. These Victorian buildings don't have elevators. Had you requested a main floor suite when you booked with us, we would have turned ourselves inside out to make one available for you, or let you know, if we couldn't so you could select another of our nine historic addresses. The following was included in your check in email which you confirmed you received:Mobility: Chipman Hill Suites is a collection of heritage properties. We do not have elevators. Please contact us immediately should you require a suite on a lower floor. We will do our best to provide a suite that best suites your needs.As for the bed being high, this is generally very popular with our guests, but had you contacted us upon arrival to let us know it was problematic, we could have easily supplied a foot stool to assist or changed your room to one with a lower bed. Again, we can't change what we don't know about. Generally people love our beds. I have taken your review very seriously as we work so very hard to ensure all our guests have a 5* experience here at Chipman Hill Suites. As part of my due diligence in this regard I have learned that you did not request a main floor room, made no calls to "on call" for any assistance with parking or anything else. I have gone over the information we send in advance of each arrival to make sure you had all relevant information. We always try to go above and beyond for our guests, and try to anticipate any issues which may come up. We always want to be fair with our guests and hope our guest

After a little hiccup with check-in that was taken care of promptly and to our satisfaction, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at 71 Sydney. The room was beautiful and there were some really nice common spaces available for our use. Being able to do laundry was great. So many places within walking distance but when we ventured out by car it was easy to get to and from the hotel. Once we figured out where we could and couldn’t park, there were no issues. The only thing was that the two-burner stove in our room didn’t work very well so cooking was a bit of a challenge, but we worked around it. Overall a very pleasant stay and we would definitely stay here again!
