Beautiful old hotel. No elevator but that added to the charm in my opinion. The continental breakfast & staff were both great. Parking was tight but we were able to snag a spot in the back parking lot.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
This was by far the worst room I have ever had the misfortune of staying in and it was expensive to boot! The property is terribly run down and the room itself was beat up, unclean, in disrepair and the bed was so uncomfortable because you could feel every spring poking through your back while trying to sleep. I booked it based on the photos provided since I was looking for something a bit more quaint but what a mistake! The photos were not at all representative of my room and experience. Limited parking as well so we had to park on the street and the neighborhood was sketchy. Do not stay in this place!

Room was vintage but clean and comfortable. Staff helped us with luggage and some extras we asked for. Breakfast is very limited. After having it the first morning, we opted to go out for breakfast in subsequent days. We did not drive. There are nearby bus stops that we did use. Uber was often more practical. Everyone should be aware that there is no elevator and the steps are very steep and narrow. They will be a challenge to anyone with even minor mobility issues.

I’ve stayed at the Inn at St. John 4 or 5 times now and I am consistently impressed by not only the excellent vibes~ (beautiful building decorated nicely) but also how clean and safe it feels. The staff are kind and friendly and my wife and I felt so comfortable staying here as a queer couple for our wedding anniversary!

The room was clean and the staff was friendly. However, the location was so bad that we were worried to park our rental car. Really to bad given that the hotel was fine. I appreciate that they had filter hot and cold water available as well as coffee and tea. Hotel has character but a ton of stairs!
