St. Clare's Mercy Hospital Tours and Activities

This is a boutique hotel in an older building. There is a certain charm with the architecture and the high ceilings; however, with an older building there is poor sound-proofing (we heard every step the upstairs guests made). Our room was spacious and the bed was very comfortable. The room needed a deep clean as there were dust-bunnies under the chairs and in the corners. The hard surface floors are great but were not very clean when we arrived. There was grit and fingernail clippings that did not belong to us. We walked around in our socks to keep the room clean but that also revealed how dirty the floors were. The location is great; right beside Jelly Bean row and within walking distance of downtown. The parking was as advertised but there are only 7 or 8 spaces on the street for non-residents, happily we always found a place to park each day. The check-in process was non-contact. We were given lots of information prior to check-in and an info pack on arrival. There was a guest directory provided with some information on local attractions and restaurant suggestions.

Was not very impressed with the breakfast. Not much of a selection and had to wait for bacon and eggs to be cooked at 9:30. They didn’t keep up on the buffet so it wouldn’t be empty.

Lovely stay at Leaside Manor! Staff were friendly and super helpful. Room was clean, nicely decorated with very comfortable bed. Breakfast was excellent - I highly recommend staying here if you are in St Johns!
