The Algonquin Resort St. Andrews by-the-Sea, Autograph Collection

Quite disappointing. No dcaf, no creamer in the room, no tea. We asked for an extra blanket and never did get one. You almost had to get into the shower to close the bath door to get to the toilet. Likely a great place in its day, aesthetically it still is, but they haven't kept up with the times, other than what they charge. We had 3 meals there and while service was good the food was mediocre at best. Our first visit there with certain expectations, but we wouldn't go back. The plus side was visiting the village, quaint, friendly, quite enjoyable

We love this hotel and enjoyed eating dinner in the lobby by the fireplace. Adrian was a fantastic server. Breakfast was also delicious. My only complaint was how we were placed in a wing with hockey teams and families. Rather than sleeping in while away for my birthday, we were woken up at 7am by lots of noise of kids, a baby crying and parents speaking loudly near our door. It was also difficult getting through the hallways through the kids to find our room. Our awake times were fantastic, but I went home tired at the end of our getaway. My suggestion would be to place the families in one area and the couples taking time away from their families can rest and relax.

A great historic resort with character. Staff are responsive and friendly. Great restaurant and bar. But room for improvement. Room was spacious but shower in the ensuite was far too small, water pressure in shower was insufficient. One has to reach through the path of the water to start the shower. Toilet paper in ensuite was low end. No fan in the ensuite bathroom. Staff ignored the privacy door hanger prior to checkout. Late checkout request was not really sufficiently accommodated for no cited reason. No survey sent soon after stay and no clear way to offer the feedback via the loyalty website or app.

As we watch the sunrise over the Bay of Fundy, I am reflecting on the wonderful 4-day experience we have had in the quaint bayside resort town of St. Andrews, New Brunswick (population 2,048) just over the Canadian border. Our oasis, The Algonquin opened in 1889 as a resting point along the Canadian Pacific Railway. It was destroyed by fire in 1914, but rebuilt and reopened in less than a year. It’s only a short walk down to the waterfront on the Bay of Fundy that has the most extreme tides in the world (24’ from low to high) which provides very different perspectives based on time of day. From chilling on the resorts veranda to sitting around a lawn fire pit to sitting by a lobby fireplace to taking the hotel’s ghost tour to taking some short shoreline and mountain hikes to walking into and exploring the little town to simply watching the sunrise over the bay from our room, it has been a rejuvenating adventure. We definitely plan to return someday.

Was here for meetings/conference. The room was very nice, newly upgraded with nice TV and bathroom. However, the old carpet is hard to look past. The resort grounds were beautiful with great seating outside and all around. The worst thing about the resort was the food served at Braxton's and at the conferences. Steak was overcooked at Braxtons and the Tofu dish was a horrible option with no flavor. The conference options were horrible with no nut free/dairy free/gluten options unless asked for and then we all got the same Tofu dish as served in the resturant. The resort was made aware of restrictions prior to coming and we were not accommodated at all.
