Saint John Harbourfront Hotel
We had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The room was clean, comfortable, and very relaxing. The receptionist named Ester was so friendly and welcoming, and the service was excellent throughout my stay. Great location and overall a really pleasant experience — we would definitely stay here again.

Days Inn by Wyndham Saint John New Brunswick
Clean hotel, friendly staff (especially Sooraj, who was kind enough to switch us from the second floor to the first). Breakfast was free but underwhelming. The area is not so appealing but it's fine for the price, and everything is within a short driving distance.
