I have stayed at the John Carver Inn many times. Love the location. We are able to walk to many restaurants, historic places and shopping boutiques. The 3rd floor rooms have been refurbished recently and the rooms are quite satisfactory.

It was extremely difficult to find parking. There were two birthday pool parties happening so the pool was packed. Staff seemed annoyed at check in. Room was okay, but the “view” was a brick wall. Noises from the hall (doors opening/locking) kept my littles awake late because it sounded like someone was trying to open our door. The pool needed a deep cleaning. They had many pool rules, but no one was following them, making for some unsafe situations. My daughter scraped her arm inside the pool- there was no first aid/bandaids available. Kids won tickets on the arcade, but had to spend more money to get more tickets since the cheaper ticket “prizes” were “unavailable” despite being able to see them in the kiosk. No breakfast included- food was overpriced, cold, and they repeatedly made errors (asked for a hamburger for kids meal got a cheeseburger they reordered and still sent out another cheeseburger). Loved the area and being close, but would stay somewhere else next time. The parking issue alone was a turn off- they should have spots reserved for overnight guests.

First room we were in had dirty socks under the bed. Then the tv didn’t work. We moved to another room and the ac was blowing hot air. Woke up to the room being 87 when I set it to 67.

We ran the hot water in the tub for 15 minutes straight and the temperature never got above lukewarm. There was hot water in the sink. The walls between rooms do nothing to muffle sounds from other rooms. People talking loudly next door kept us awake from 2:30-5 AM. (And yes, we did ask them to keep it down.)

This was our 3rd time at John Carver. Reception was excellent. The location is awesome, under 10 minute walk to the waterfront, and shopping, dining, breweries and entertainment. Our room was clean and quiet. But walking down the corridor about 10:30 at night, some rooms with kids were very loud for that time of night and I was thankful we weren’t adjacent to them. The inn has an indoor pool, so there was a very strong smell of chlorine in the public areas, but not our room. Nice recessed lighting in the room, mini frig and a keurig. Plus CJs restaurant is accessible via an indoor hall from the hotel. Bed comfy enough, good water pressure in shower. HVAC system good as well.
