Inn at St John remains a budget friendly stay, with an emphasis on "friendly". The rooms are clean and quaint and every room is an adventure. We have stayed here more than 15 times and we love getting a different room, and sometimes finding that we have been a room before. Always an adventure. They also offer a complimentary breakfast that provides the essentials to get your day started. Oh, let's not forget the FREE parking. Fingers crossed that the Inn does not change a thing, because right now they do everything right, and with the customer in mind!

Clean, quiet and a great stocked continental breakfast (hardboiled eggs, yogurt, fruit). There were amenities that were on their website that were not available. No robe, no cots (an air mattress that we had to inflate) and no coffee maker in the room. There was a small refrigerator and microwave in the room which was a nice surprise. There is no elevator so beware regarding luggage. Overall it was a good value for the price.
