Jag Boutique Hotel
The property and service was awesome, the actual room was underwhelming this visit! My past visit was WOW, this visit the room had an old bath/shower combo and no rainfall shower has described. And, there was this awful pull out sofa in the corner of the room 😕

Sandman Signature St. John's Hotel
Lovely stay - very clean - wonderful staff. Liked that there were two restaurants to choose from and a credit voucher to be used. Would have liked to use the pool but it was closed as well as the gym. Being completely renovated and should be open the end of April.
