Clean and within walking distance to the beach. However, the hotel is larger than expected, so the elevators were often crowded. The biggest downside was that the pool was not free, unlike other hotels I’ve stayed at."

The hotel is very large and cold. The room has no amenities like coffee or body lotion. There is no where in the bathroom to hang a towel and the sink area is too dark to put on makeup. “ Bland” is the term I’d use to describe the hotel.

The property is very nice, but you have to pay above and beyond for almost everything. So what you actually get for the price of a room is very limited.

Highly recommended!! I think the hotel marketing team didnt describe all the lovely things to surprise the guests. Once we checked in, my kids were jumping around the room. We loved the kids items in the room, a huge digital art wall, a kids’ portable audio for bedtime story, a massage chair and a king sized sealy matress and comfortable bedding. We would definitely come back to the room when it is not too busy season. We stayed New year’s day so the waiting time for Check in and elevator wasnt pleasure.

The St John’s hotel was undoubtedly lovely in its day. Unfortunately, it is playing a catch up game with its maintenance. First the good: the location is great! Just a brief walk through the pines in order to get to the beach. It is walking distance from great restaurants and stores and has many conveniences on the grounds. The staff is wonderful. We arrived early and we’re not allowed to check in but there was a young man that took a genuine interest in helping us out and our wait was not a problem. We were on the 9th floor with an ocean view and really enjoyed looking out the windows. The rooms are spacious and the bed was very comfortable. The bathroom was well appointed and everything worked the way it was supposed to. Now the bad: The elevators are a real problem . It was not uncommon for us to wait four or five minutes and once it was seven minutes. There were also times when you had to wait for a 2nd one because the first was too full. They call it an “Executive Lounge” but it’s really just a rundown place to get the same monotonous food every morning. I don’t believe it was worth the extra that we paid for it. The beach does not belong to the hotel but please be careful! It is a lovely place And you might be tempted to not look where you are walking, but please do. My wife found 19 fishing lures washed up on the shore on the two beach walks that she took. (Pictured) On the website they have pictures of the lovely pools . Unfortunately we didn’t real
