Delta Hotels by Marriott Saint John is the uptown business and leisure hotel, at 39 King Street, with 250 rooms. The booking details show a 3.5 property class. It has an indoor pool and gym, free in-room WiFi, an air-conditioned lobby with a fireplace, a bar and MIX Resto/Bar, which serves lunch, dinner and kids' meals and has bay views. Rooms have 50-inch televisions, refrigerators and coffee and tea makers, and the hotel is pet friendly for a fee. The location is the point: Market Square is about two minutes away on foot, the Saint John City Market about three, and the Imperial Theatre and the Trade and Convention Centre are close by. It is the easiest base for a city stay without a car.
Location and getting around
Uptown Saint John is compact, and the Delta sits in the middle of it. The waterfront, the City Market, Market Square, Trinity Church and the Loyalist Burial Ground are all within a short walk. The Reversing Falls, Rockwood Park and Irving Nature Park need a short drive, and the airport is about 18 minutes away. If you plan to visit Hopewell Rocks, Fundy National Park or the Fundy Trail Parkway you will want a car, and self parking costs roughly 20 dollars a night with limited spaces.
The rooms and the feel
This is a large, renovated city hotel with a business character, which means reliable beds, a gym and a pool, and a busy lobby when conferences are on. A buffet breakfast is available for an extra charge, and the restaurant also serves lunch and dinner. The front desk is open 24 hours, there is luggage storage, express check-in and check-out and an elevator, and multilingual staff.
Who it suits and what to know: choose the Delta if you want to walk to the market and the waterfront, if you are travelling off-season and want a hotel that is part of a working city, or if you want a central base for day trips. Pets are accepted for a fee of 40 dollars per pet per stay, with a limit of two. Ask for a bay-view room when you book, and check parking before you arrive, because spaces are limited and rates can change.
