Inn at St John remains a budget friendly stay, with an emphasis on "friendly". The rooms are clean and quaint and every room is an adventure. We have stayed here more than 15 times and we love getting a different room, and sometimes finding that we have been a room before. Always an adventure. They also offer a complimentary breakfast that provides the essentials to get your day started. Oh, let's not forget the FREE parking. Fingers crossed that the Inn does not change a thing, because right now they do everything right, and with the customer in mind!
