Coast Fort St John Hotel

The front desk guy was very helpful..thank you for helping us.We will stay here again next time will be in fort Saint John.

Stayed during our 9 day drive from home to Alaska - this was the 7th hotel we stayed in this week so I have LOT to compare this hotel to. If you stay here you won't get bugs, the bed is comfortable, you can walk to restaurants. It's not a horrible place, but if you can book elsewhere that has better ratings in Tripadvisor, do it. I did cancel my reservation on my return trip to home and booked with the Number 1 rated hotel on trip advisor. Pros: Bed was comfortable. Place is clean. The two staff we dealt with were friendly. We were there on a hot day and the air conditioner worked well. There is a refrigerator which worked well. It was not a mini fridge, it was a small fridge with a freezer. Cons: ROOM: There was a strong unpleasant chemical smell that some hotels have when you walk in the room. The smoke detector was sitting on the freshly dusted shelf with the battery sitting next to it, so it obviously was not working and the cleaning staff MUST have been aware it was there. The bathroom door would not stay closed, the latch on the handle did not line up with the hole for it. It was not pleasant to hear my husband in there using the toilet. (I placed a washcloth in the door to keep it closed.) The tub drained so slowly I was standing in 3 inchies of water during my shower. I just felt "grimey" staying in this room, did not feel confident in this room. HALLWAY: Ice machine on my floor was broken. It did have an out of order sign on it which appeared like the paper had been there a while. You know, the paper gets kind of wrinkly and old looking after a while. There were many dents and scratches in the walls. BREAKFAST : I have had 6 other hotel breakfasts this week and they are never "5 star" food, but usually tastes good and are edible (you know what I am talking about - are the scrambled eggs real eggs? But they taste good.) This was VERY cheap. Offered round, flat, cooked eggs - bad texture and did not taste good at all. The seemed like they were pre-cooked, frozen and heated up type eggs of poor quality. The hash brown potatoes were frozen, cheap, but did taste OK. There was cereal, pancakes and bread for toast. No fruit offered. Unfortunately, the owner does NOT put any money or effort into maintain the building and rooms. This owner has a great building with a little but of fixing, could be a very comfortable place to stay.

The hotel is a newly remodeled facility. The exterior is modest but the lobby and rooms are very nice, clean, quiet, and modern. My room was large, well laid out, and nicely furnished. My wife would be very comfortable staying here alone. It has no bar which is a feature, not a bug. You will have no loud, tipsy lounge patrons making a racket all night. However, there are a variety nice establishments within walking distance if you wish to partake. There is no food service except for a complimentary continental breakfast. However, there are several nice restaurants serving a variety different kinds of food, Canadian, Asian, Indian, just a short walk away for when you feel like eating. The managers act as if they are the owners which means that they are motivated to make you feel at home. I enjoyed being a guest here. I am sure you will too.

We were on our way to the Yukon and were not able to make our pre-reserved lodging destination due to unforeseen circumstances. We were travelling with a dog and needed a place to stay for the night. We searched on the Internet and found a few pet friendly hotels/motels in town. We touched the phone number associated with the hotel online and were faced with a no vacancy reply from the front desk agent (who we thought was associated with the hotel). The front desk asked if he could help us to secure a hotel in town. Thought that was a nice gesture. Little did we know we were talking to a travel company. We secured a room at the Coast Hotel and had to pay (no refunds) on the phone. Glad to have a room we proceeded to the hotel. The hotel did NOT have a room. The hotel front desk lady and the manager went way out of their way to find lodging for us in town. In the end they gave us a room at the hotel(which was just starting to get renovated). We were very appreciative because we were tired and needed a place to stay for the night. The hotel manager, Mr. Chandan Sehgal, and the front desk lady were really great. I can't express enough the gratitude we felt to be able to get a room on short notice. Beware of hitting the "call phone number online". This will get you a travel agency who charge additional fees to your bill(double). The hotel should have received the total amount for the effort they went through to get us a room there. Please call the hotel number "directly from your phone" so you don't have to go through what we went through. Bravo to the staff at the Coast Hotel in St. John, B.C. from us.

Excellent place to enjoy with family and friends , must visit , one of the best experiences till date , planned to to stay a day but stayed 5 days . Beds are really comfortable and the breakfast is really healthy! Gave more than expected! Thank you for the stay coast hotels . Will visit again next month !

Spacious rooms and very comfortable beds. Staff is very accommodating and pleasant will definitely stay here again. Manager on site is very nice approved late checkout without any charges. Thank you so much.

We've stayed here twice on our way to PG, and I'm constantly impressed at how clean & nice it is. The service is great too, the front desk and housekeeping staff are all super friendly & nice. Give it a try!

Considering the hotel was under renovations the staff have do a great job of minimizing the impact. The rooms were comfortable, clean and well appointed. The common areas were being renovated so it was understandable that there was some disarray.
