Vacanze Smooth Cove

Tutto eccellente , niente di negativo, letti comodi, ottima colazione

No handicap parking. Long walk with stairs to bistro for breakfast. Great location if you have a vehicle. One morning we woke up to brown water, we were never notified yet when we reported it, front desk knew, we were told not to use it but we could hear ppl showering - they should have notified guests asap - that was annoying not know what a brushed my teeth with. Breakfast server was efficient under the conditions and lovely but there should be 2 servers, possibly only 1 person cooking - so breakfast was slow

It was a comfortable stay; the bathrooms are a little small but serve the purpose. Staff are friendly and food was delicious.

Where to start? The room was much larger than anticipated, the staff was unfailingly kind and accommodating, the room temperature was consistent, the continental breakfast was great and busy every morning. The location was nestled between Water Street and the harbourfront so we were plain in the middle of the action, near to a ton of restaurants, and JellyBean Row and there was always available parking at the hotel and the patio at the west of the building was a great place to relax and underutilized by patrons, but I doubt this will be the case once the Barrel Thief restaurant opens up. A few oddities - there was no microwave in the room due to the age of the building and the reasonable concern of a fire in a place made with so much wood. Google maps kept trying to bring us on to Water Street but we kept getting rerouted because of Water Street being a summertime pedestrian walkway. It took a while to just start entering Jack Astor's as our destination so that we could get to the parking lot for the Murray Premises. An amazing experience with so few downsides. One word of warning: you are at the lowest point, the harbourfront, on Canada's oldest city and one built on a steep hill, we took a 600 m walk up to the nearest open Tim Horton's one morning and the walk up the steep incline ended with us sweating while drinking coffee so plan to drive a lot and Saint John's is not intuitively set up so be sure to have a Google maps to direct you.
