The manager was very helpful as I booked the room online and we have bicycles, equipment, food bins, etc. He helped us check out other possibilities for our stay & we had success! Nice view, close to downtown too. The units are very basic, mostly clean and safe.

Lokesh Kant was helpful in making us comfortable during our stay. He was informative when we asked about places of interest to visit while in the area. We enjoyed talking with him as he was very personable. We definitely would recommend Hillside Motel. It was not the Taj Mahal, but for the value price, it was worth staying there. If and when we are in St John, we would stay there again.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The room was nice, in one of the two houses at the facility instead of the motel proper. It has a mini fridge, sink and 2 beds. Beds were ok for comfort. Had a bit of an old house smell. The area doesn't have much, and is in a neighborhood with a bit of urban decay. The owner was lovely, taking interest in what we doing in town and checking in with us whenever we saw him.

A nice place for an overnighter

This is a quaint little motel. Very clean, close to restaurant, mall, and other essential services. It is a reasonable distance from the ferry. It is older and somewhat dates but everything worked fine. It is quiet. Just what was needed for a restful night before the ferry

The host was very nice and gave us great sightseeing info. Our room was nice, with everything we needed, but it needed updating. The bay window needed work and the bathroom was out of date, with not enough places to hang towels to dry.

Owner was extremely accommodating and understanding with our late check in. He upgraded our room to make our room easier to find if he was unavailable when we arrived. Location was very convenient to catch the ferry to Digby. The room suited our needs- close to the ferry for early departure the following morning.

Gennadiy

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Only good thing: quiet residential location, close to plazas. Other than that: 1.Extremely old buildings with 7' ceilings and moldy "pioneer village" kind smell. 2. Sanitary drains above the floor and require an electric drain pump (that periodically turns on making loud noise) to prevent the sewer from overflow into the rooms. Afraid to imagine what happens during power outages... 3. Light fixture above the bathtub (electrocution hazard). 4. Broken garbage can: won't open by a pedal. The cover has to be lifted manually. 5. Dirty floors and funny smelling towels and blankets. 6. Non-armed but loaded with moldy bait mousetraps and mouse droppings in the cupboards. 7. Moldy shower curtain. 8. Found 3 spiders and a couple of other insects in the room. 9. Metal skillets provided, yet no range. How metal kitchenware can be used in the microwave oven? (Wouldn't use them anyway: extremely dirty.) 10. No A/C. When I was there, it wasn't warm at all, but how do tourists survive there in the summer? 11. No entrance mat. Very important, since it was raining and the floor was getting messy and slippery. Notified the owner 3 (!) times over several hours to get a mat and a couple more towels (for a family of 4, there were only 2 towels). He was "busy" even in the evening, while not present at the site. Finally, he brought 3 towels (1 as a mat!) after the 3rd call, when I already told him that it was no more relevant, since we were about to go to bed.
