Due to very unfortunate timing and no notification received from Expedia before we arrived, we got to the hotel and were told the pool, hot tub, and slide were closing for repairs. If I had known in advance, I wouldn’t have driven all the way there to experience this amazing place. There was a lot of confusion about when everything was closed, so we got kicked out of the hot tub/pool 15 minutes after we got in, and it never opened again. My birthday was on a Monday and I wanted to go to the spa (closed on monday), gym (there was no power) or wander through the town but all stores and restaurants were also closed for the Monday. The staff at the resort were very kind and hospitable and made sure I had a nice birthday dinner. I think some communication from Expedia would have allowed me to alter plans and go somewhere closer that was open. Even a week before I was on the resort’s website and there was nothing to say they were renovating all amenities. Disappointing.

My stay in St Andrew’s was the highlight of my trip to New Brunswick. My room was beautiful & so welcoming. The historic hotel & grounds were incredibly picturesque. I loved the many activities available throughout the day. One staff member (Jaz) especially made an impression when he did my own personal ghost tour. Other than weather, my stay could not have been better & more memorable.

The hotel is beautiful and we had a very comfortable room. The staff was very friendly and helpful and when we got stuck on ministers Island for making a mistake with the tide, the front desk was super helpful in trying to find a boat to come and get us. When we returned to our hotel room they left us two little deer stuffed animals for our daughters and some snacks to cheer them up. They really want the extra mile and it was a wonderful stay - great facilities for kids with the play zone and the waterslide in pool will definitely come back.

We had planned our off-season trip around the amenities like the pool, water slide, etc. unfortunately, without warning we arrived to find out the pool would only be open the first day of our 4 days and our kids were very disappointed. Additionally, our wing was without power for 4 hours during our last full day. Nothing was done to make up for these inconveniences and what would have otherwise been a great experience was marred by these this inconveniences

The large towels, bathrobes, and slippers were nice. Good hotel soaps and they had toothbrushes and toothpaste standard in the room which was thoughtful.

We had dinner the first night at Braxtons and it was disappointing. I ordered the salmon for $46 and it was over cooked with a flavor profile that was mediocre at best. The portion did not make up for the quality. We also had the unfortunate experience if having the waiter spilling champagne over the back of one of the guests at our table. The manager offered her a 50% reduction on her meal (not enough given the fact that she was soaked in wine for the entire meal) and then did not apply it to the bill and she had to ask them to fix the bill.

Overall, the hotel is beautiful and full of history. I would recommend eating somewhere other than Braxtons if you're hungry or have a discerning palate.

The Algonquin is the reason St.Andrew’s -by-Sea is a resort town. Lots of shops, most still open in winter are great for clothes, jewellery, and eating out. No movie theatres.
Found a new and superb restaurant downtown called William’s on Water. Superb chef, fresh ingredients with a menu that changes daily.
As for the Algonquin resort, it still has that welcoming, cozy feel: a home away from home. The staff are beyond service I have had anywhere else. I enjoyed a spa service that used honey harvested on the Algonquin’s property, an exfoliating body scrub that was divine.
I must admit that I really really don’t like the new renovations and told the manager. They are switching from warm, soothing colours to cool and trendy greys and blues.

Our stay went pretty well. We’ve stayed at the property many times and this one was different than most in the sense that we had gotten to the hotel by 3 as we always have in the past during much busier occasions (Easter/ Summer events) and were always able to have a room soon as we got there or a very short time after. We were informed that check in is in fact 4 which we had been fine with but our rooms as well as many other couples didn’t open up until well after 4 (4:30

Our family went during the off season (beginning of March 2026) and it seemed they were understaffed. The lobbies, sitting areas, pool areas, carpets, surfaces were dusty and dirty from other customers and not being cleaned in between. Every person I saw was working so hard and very pleasant. But, in my opinion short staffed. Cute ghost tour and planned kids events. Rooms seemed clean and up to par, the rest of the shared parts of the resort, not so much.

The hotel is lovely and all of the staff were very professional. However, our check-in time was supposed to be at 4:00, but our room wasn't ready until 5:30. This was a great inconvenience. They gave us a drink each on the house by way of apology, which was nice, but an hour and a half wait is unacceptable. It meant we had to delay our pre-nade supper plans, and because of that we missed the haunted tour of the hotel, which was something we had really been looking forward to.

We often stay at the Algonquin on our way to New Brunswick. It truly is a treat. We love the history of this hotel and just the general beauty of it. The food is not the best so be prepared. We ordered dinner it was close to $165 for 3 of us and the food was sub par. That is a lot of money for a sub mar meal. It's too bad. Also, there was. a dirty mask on the floor which must have been an oversight but it just grossed me out sorry ):

Room they assigned was very small and oddly shaped.
Room we accepted was larger and open, however totally outdated and in dire need of refurbishing.
Next unacceptable problem was over charge on our dinner bill.
Finally an unknown service charge of $15 per day plus tax for use of pool, game room, which we had no interest.
We also found lack of cleanliness in dining room ( floors)
We have stayed here before and will not in the future.
Very disappointing. This is not a Marriott to brag about.

I love staying at the Algonquin however the Braxton restaurant is consistently disappointing. The service is rarely speedy. This time the food wasn't cooked properly. They did replace my meal.

The hotel is due for some improvements to keep it at a high end level.

Bathroom shower is in desperate need of a deep clean. Lots of green in there and overall it needs an upgrade.

The staff is friendly and accommodating.

Pool area needs improvement as well. The hot tub area is not clean and the walls are coming apart.
There is never anyone coming by to clean up water on the decks which makes it very slippery.
