Nice staff, very good location if driving.
Great location for what we needed - given we were driving to places around the greater StJ's area and beyond. The staff are very nice and helpful, although they don't communicate between the teams as well as they should. The building is showing its age, but is overall clean and in reasonable shape. However, the key card system probably needs an update - we had to get new key cards 4 times over 6 nights as they were failing no matter how much care we took with them.

I expected more from a hotel that is a conference centre. 1. My mom found 3 hairs in her bed when she pulled the covers down. 2. One of the face cloths had pink makeup like stains on it. 3. We had to travel from the 3rd floor to the 1st floor and halfway up the hallway to get to an ice machine. 4. The room had microwave. 5. The room had no smart tv, just basic cable. 6. The bathroom was split in two. There was no tub for children, just a stand up shower and toilet behind a door with hardly enough room to turn around. The sink and mirror were out in the entrance of the room. The silicone in the tub was cracked and stained, definitely needing to be replaced. A microwave and smart tv aren't detrimental but after staying at several hotels this past year who have all had both, it was unpleasant to not have it when we expected it. I won't be returning and I won't recommend it to anyone else.
