I was in Saint John for a few days, stayed here on business. The lobby was nice and elegant, check in was very professional. The rooms were not 5 star, but had everything I need, free internet, lots of cable channels, restaurant on site-including room service, pool and fitness room, lots of parking, and the rooms were nice and clean....

I just wanted to say how much I like the new "facelift" to the pool area. There was a lot of new ceramic tile and painting done. There are a lot of chairs to sit down on and the changing rooms are the best I've seen in any hotel facility-They're large and complete with toilet, sink, shower and handrails. Sometimes... More

I enjoy swimming before going to work and was very pleased with the recent renovations to the pool area. Freshly painted, new flooring, large changing rooms and a great pool and hot tub. More

Loved the Fort Howe for it's weirdness. The hotel has a creepy feel to it but once I got into the atmosphere I began to appeciate the 80's swinger vibe. The room was dirty (especially the bathroom) but the beds were very comfortable and everything was in good repair. The staff (especially the front desk!) were awesome and great to... More

Stayed in a dog-friendly room and even the dogs wouldn't sleep on the carpet, it was that dirty. The bedding smelled sour. Brown splotches on the wall that I didn't want to think about. Some of the staff were friendly. $84 per night and not worth it. Won't stay here again. More

I stayed at this hotel almost exclusively for nearly 10 years on business and had to finally change hotels. I left 2 years ago but got stuck here again for 1 night as there was nothing else avail and they honored my prev. low rate. Although I had a great negotiated rate for my own business which started at $... More

My family and I stayed in this rather odd hotel at the start of a long drive back to the southern USA. I honestly can't say that there was anything specifically wrong with the hotel, it's just that it seemed a little odd. It looks rather more like a brick factory than a hotel from the outside, and the large... More

Distgusting, filthy, noisy - only stayed one night in desperation as arrived too late to change. It smells. There was a black hair in the ice bucket. The bath was yellow stained. The towels thin and yellowish. We had a group of 6 to 8 noisy people next door. If we weren't so weary we would have packed up and... More
