Best Western Plus Saint John Hotel and Suites is a hotel in the McAllister area on the east side of Saint John, New Brunswick. This part of the city is known for its shopping and its easy access to the main highway, which makes it a convenient place to stay if you are driving in, if you want to pick up supplies for a day trip or if you simply prefer a straightforward, familiar chain hotel to a historic inn. The name suggests a hotel with both standard rooms and suites, which can suit families and groups, but room types, facilities, breakfast, parking, WiFi and any pool vary and change, so check them when you book. From this side of the city you are close to the road towards Moncton and Hopewell Rocks, and the uptown peninsula, Reversing Falls and the City Market are a short drive away.
Location and getting around
The McAllister area is on the east side of Saint John, away from the harbour and the uptown streets, and most visitors reach it by car. The uptown market and waterfront are about 10 to 15 minutes away depending on traffic, and the airport is roughly 15 minutes by car. The route to St. Martins and the Fundy Trail Parkway is straightforward, and Fundy National Park and Hopewell Rocks lie further east along the coast, so this side of the city shortens the start of an eastbound day.
The rooms and the feel
This is a hotel stay, so expect standard rooms and suites rather than the individual character of a bed and breakfast. We do not list specific room features or facilities here, because they change, so check bed types, suite layouts, breakfast, parking, WiFi, any pool and any pet policy when you book. Families and groups should ask about suites with extra sleeping space or connecting rooms, and anyone who wants quiet should request a room away from the road.
Who it suits and what to know: choose this hotel if you want a predictable chain stay with easy parking and highway access, if you are travelling with a car and plan to drive out each day, or if you want a comfortable base at a moderate price. It is less suited to travellers who want a harbour view or an evening stroll through the heritage streets, since the surroundings are mostly roads and shops.
Prices are often highest in July and August and lowest in the colder months, when some coastal attractions shorten their hours, so check opening times before building a winter itinerary. Compare a few dates and look at guest reviews before you book.
