Staff was so sweet and friendly, and the hotel ambiance is great: lots of personality, not sterile like the big chains in the center of town. Nice and quiet. Location is a little removed, but that there is free parking is super helpful. Coffee available all day is very appreciated.

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.

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!
