Mahogany Manor Bed & Breakfast

This was by far the worst place I've ever stayed at. From the very beginning the owner Carl was rude and not helpful. Our room was dirty and after we pointed it out, nothing was done. The whole place is old and rundown. I wouldn't recommend my worst enemy stay here. This place is trash. Look elsewhere.

My husband and I were only able to spend one night in Saint John, unfortunately, but we took full advantage of our hosts' suggestions for seeing what we could during our day there. We took their recommendation for dinner, within walking distance. Additionally there are brochures and books on the area in the rooms and the guest lounge. We had to catch the ferry early the next morning and were pleasantly surprised to be served a full hot breakfast before our departure (we'd been expecting a boxed breakfast to take with us). Our room was large and pleasant with an excellent bed. My memory is a bit vague now but I think the bath towel provided was a bit smaller and less fluffy than I'm used to. But a cozy bathrobe was provided. Parking is definitely tricky as it requires backing into a driveway and positioning the car exactly, but we were relieved to have on-site parking and didn't move the car anyway except to depart. Carl and Jim don't take credit cards but this information is on the website and in emails and phone calls they reiterated it, so we were prepared with cash (they may do Paypal, not sure). This is definitely an old-fashioned B&B--and I mean this positively--with only a few rooms (all different), the hosts living onsite, full breakfasts, conversations with hosts and other guests expected at the table, no in-room TVs, no elevator, and a definite sense of being in a home rather than a hotel. We enjoyed the Victorian house, inside and out! A final note: I filled out the online reservation form but did not hear back from the hosts so called a couple of weeks later when I finally realized we didn't have a confirmed reservation at the B&B. They had responded, but for some reason I did not receive their message. I'd recommend calling to reserve, or at least following up by phone within a couple of days of sending your message.

Not the easiest of our venues to find. A nice property but in need of some external attention. Good location for local bars/ eating places and a nice breakfast. Payment complicated by PayPal rather than a straightforward credit card payment. Seemed to have had fraud problems so restricting availability avenues.

This B&B is one of the best kept secrets in Saintjohn. It has parking, a ramp and a shower stool for those of us with mobility issues. Shower stools are rare even in the most expensive hotels but yes Mahogany Manor has one!!! Kudos to Karl and Jim.

Carl and Jim are excellent hosts! We stayed 2 nights with friends for an annual get together. We enjoyed a relaxed visit in a beautiful Inn close to everything in Saint John NB. The breakfasts were delicious and our room was so quiet! It was a truly beautiful experience. We met couples from Germany and Victoria, BC. The conversations were so lively! Loved everything about our experience.

We stayed one night in Saint John at Mahogany Manor. The hosts were very knowledgeable about the area and a lot of fun to talk to. Breakfast was fresh and very good. Well situated in the historic part of the city. Just be warned about the seagulls in the morning. They can be noisy.

Our first time in Saint John, and we picked the right place! Hosts are wonderful and welcoming. We only stayed one night, but we'd happily return anytime. Location is really central and Carl and Jim are super knowledgeable about the city and the local hot spots. Room was large and comfortable. We had baby seagulls on the roof of the house (?) next door that we could watch from our window (fun but noisy sometimes).

Loved this Bed & Breakfast!! Jim & Carl are wonderful hosts and we felt very welcome in their lovely Inn. They gave us lots of information on what to see and where to eat. Our room was very nice, clean, & comfortable. We even had a view of the water! The location is perfect to walk everywhere. They even fixed a wonderful breakfast for us early in the morning so we could catch the ferry. We really appreciated that gesture!
