Chipman Hill Suites

We got off to a bit of a bad start after a tiring journey when our booking confirmation sent us to a wrong address. But mistakes happen. It's how they are addressed that is important and the mistake was addressed promptly and fully. We have been here before. The establishment is a magnificent old mansion in downtown historic Saint John. It is within easy walking distance of the many shops and restaurants/pubs, a few parks and the waterfront. The room is elegant, functional and well equipped. We will be back.

What a wonderful stay. Comfortable beds, pillows, very clean, and a beautiful historic building with a sun room, common rooms to sit, converse, play piano, and play chess. Shannon, the housekeeper, left a note on our bed to let us know if we needed her, we could find her in the building from 9-5, and a phone number to get in touch with her on off duty hours. We came to St John to see a dear family member in a time of need, and Chipman hill suites couldn't have made things easier or more comfortable. Thanks a million!

This place is amazing, especially for the price! My husband and I stayed in one of their rooms for three nights. The building is very cute and old, a bit scary at first when you walk it because it's so hot, but the individual air conditioner in our room worked perfectly - it was even on when we arrived so our room was nice and cool. It's not often hotels give that level of service. The room is cute, sure the decor is a bit dated, oven is a little old, but honestly, it has such a nice feel to it (I think they're aiming to maintain the historic feel of the town/building - so great)! The process of waiting to hear where we would be staying was off-putting at first, but it turned out to be great! This location is fantastic, nice and close to the market and restaurants. Highly recommend Chipman Hill Suites for anyone visiting Saint John!!

This was an interesting and fun place to stay. We stayed there twice, and had good experiences both times, though I liked the second floor room better (security, street noise, water pressure and a weird layout in unit 1). The property is beautifully restored and the sitting rooms and solarium are lovely. The rooms have a small refrigerator and 2 burner stove, as well as cable television. More outlets near the beds would be an improvement, but this is an old house, and there were plenty of outlets around the room. Both rooms had nice beds and furnishings, lots of room, and an eclectic selection of books to read. I liked this lodging arrangement much better than a standard (generic) hotel room. A very pleasant stay!

We stayed at the 71 Sydney St. location the first week of July 2018. This was the perfect spot for us. The location was exceptional for the activities we had planned. The room itself was lovely, very clean, comfortable and well equipped. Having access to the living areas of the house, including the solarium where we had our morning coffee, was a real bonus. In addition, the Chipman Hill personnel we had dealings with were extremely helpful and friendly, making us feel like our comfort was their prime consideration. Our entire experience with this company was exceptional and I would highly recommend this location for those visiting St John.

It was a very interesting stay, beautiful old building. We stayed in the suite #1 which is downstairs since we were traveling with our 7 months daughter and it was convenient not to walk up the stairs. If you want peace and quietness that hotel is not for you because you can hear when people walk in the house. I personally don’t mind, for me it’s part of the old building vibe. Everything was very clean and the housekeepers are sooo nice!!

This small self-service hotel is unique. You will either like it or hate it. I like it because it is quite rustic an I appreciate the expensive old furnitures. Parking could be a concern. The operator I called was helpful and friendly.

We spent two nights at this location and were pleasantly impressed. The decor is absolutely fabulous and there are gorgeous sitting rooms and a solarium if you'd like to sit down for a while. It was very clean. The owners/proprietors are very good at keeping in touch. Very close to downtown and within walking distance of lots of restaurants and shops. Would definitely stay here again!

Very spacious upscale rooms with conveinences, outstanding customer service and a very convenient location a few minutes indoor (except about 30m) walk from the conference centre. Highly recommend! Will definitely stay here again if back in Saint John!

Chipman Hill Suites…This is where you want to stay when visiting Saint John.I know ‘Hilton’ and ‘Delta’ and ‘Château’ look tempting but you’re not going to have anywhere near as memorable an experience as you will with Chipman Hill Suites in the heart of one of Canada’s most charming cities. Here’s why:Firstly, my suite was far cheaper than any of the big-name hotels I mentioned above. Secondly, the service I received, both from Shayrha by telephone (with whom I booked my stay), and from Amanda, who welcomed me warmly upon my arrival showing me around the common areas of the 1895 mansion at 71 Sydney Street. And thirdly the proximity to the city (5 minute walk) allows you to be more than just a ‘guest in a hotel in an unfamiliar city’. You will feel just like the fine citizens who reside here in the oldest incorporated city in Canada.The hotel, is a stunning Victorian-era mansion and it, as well as the surrounding neighbourhood is as quiet as you could want (So much so, in fact, that that the ticking of my wall clock became disruptive to me and I was compelled to remove the batteries to silence it haha). My king-size bed was the most comfortable I’ve lain in at any time in my life and the linens and comforters were more than sufficient for the snowy nights in Port City. It was a nice touch having a separate sitting room in my suite. I used this for morning coffee, afternoon naps, and putting my feet up in the evenings.Reviews and feedback are very important to Chipman Hill and you are politely reminded of this from time to time during your stay. First, on the phone with reservations, I was made aware that I would be asked to write a small review. Then when I checked in, I was presented with a small, clean envelope containing a sheet with a short paragraph requesting feedback, and another sheet with directions describing how to post to Trip Advisor. The owners and managers make it very clear that they want to be judged, and moreover they’ve worked hard to create a level of professionalism, service, and hospitality which makes them confident that you’ll be pleased.Chipman Hill Suites is not just another hotel. You can basically go anywhere to be called ‘sir’ or ‘madam’ and have your bags carried down a long, boring, taupe-coloured hallway to a cold, just-like-the-rest room, where you lay on the bed watching bad tv, ordering-in franchise food, and wishing you weren’t staying so far away from city-culture. Chipman Hill Suites is on a whole other level and just minutes from lovely restaurants, friendly pubs, and amiable, real people.Come here to relax. Come here to visit a gorgeous city. Come here to recharge. Come here to be inspired, enchanted, impressed, and earnestly connected. You will feel more welcome than you expect.
