Jag Boutique Hotel
I love this hotel. Enjoyed the spa, the restaurant and the live music. But most of all I appreciated the speedy & very helpful check in. Daniel at the door was exceptionally helpful. Thank you for taking care of our luggage and car so we could make our spa appointment on time.

Sandman Signature St. John's Hotel
Staff were incredible. The room was generally clean with the exception of toothpaste that was on the bathroom wallpaper and crumbs beneath the glass top on the desk and the chair was soiled. Pool and fitness room were closed during my stay. Wish I had known prior to booking.
