Hampton Inn and Suites by Hilton Saint John is a straightforward, good-value chain hotel at 51 Fashion Drive, on the city's east side in the McAllister area. It has 117 guest rooms, an indoor pool, a fitness centre, a business centre, two meeting rooms and free WiFi. A free hot breakfast is served as a buffet, and parking is free. Connecting rooms and cribs are available, and pets are accepted for a fee. The hotel does not offer an airport shuttle, a kids menu or childcare. It is a base for drivers rather than for walkers, because uptown is a drive away, but it is an easy place to leave a car and set out for Hopewell Rocks, Fundy National Park or the Fundy Trail Parkway.
Location and getting around
The hotel is on Fashion Drive in the east of Saint John, away from the harbour. Uptown and the City Market are a short drive away, and the Reversing Falls and Rockwood Park are a bit further, so a car or a taxi is needed. The same applies to the day trips along the coast, which all need a car.
The rooms and the feel
This is a modern chain hotel, so expect a consistent room, a comfortable bed and a quiet, business-like lobby. The free hot breakfast buffet is the big saving, and the indoor pool is a welcome extra on a cold or wet day. The hotel lists accessible features, though the details are not given, so ask about the room type you need. Parking is free and self-service, with no valet or covered parking, and electric vehicle charging is about a kilometre away.
Who it suits and what to know: choose the Hampton if you are driving, travelling with a family or on a budget, and you want breakfast and parking included. Pets are allowed for a fee of 25 dollars for stays of one to four nights or 100 dollars for five nights or more, with a limit of two pets of up to 75 pounds each. If you want a hotel you can walk out of into the markets and waterfront, choose the Delta instead.
