Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort
The hotel had had many upgrades since my last stay. It was very clean, the service was friendly and prompt. The room was clean and beds were very comfortable.
Loved the location and ease of getting food from the connected restaurant.
Downsides: bathtub, that only some rooms have are very small.
Also, the window of my room, facing the same side as the main doors was drafty.
Would still stay here again but would request to stay in different side of the building.
All is good. Was disappointed water slide wasn’t available. We didn’t know it was only available on the weekends. But at least we know now. Otherwise very clean hotel.
The area was close to the airport and other amenities. Easy drive to downtown.

Good location, needs some upgrading, but ok for short term stay
This hotel is situated in the perfect spot to get around St Johns. We were close to everything! The hotel was clean and my kids loved the pool with the slides. It was convenient to have East Side Marios attached to the hotel as well.
