Jag Boutique Hotel
We had coffee and a tea bun as the breakfast room wasn’t opened until 11o’clock. That was a disappointment. The tea bun was wrapped in Saran Wrap but it was dried up. That was very very disappointing.

Sandman Signature St. John's Hotel
Staff were great and room was clean. One elevator was out of service, which is difficult for someone who is disabled. The pool was out of commission.
