Quote: We stayed at the Fredericton Inn, which is right beside the Regent Mall in Fredericton.

We booked a suite with a kitchen and a separate bedroom for the kids. Both the living area and the bedroom were quite large. The living area had two double beds and a sitting area as well as a desk. The bedroom had a king-sized bed and a desk. Both rooms had lots of extra space for a crib, luggage, whatever.

The kitchen had a full stove, fridge, microwave, coffee machine, and kettle. There were dishes, but none of them were microwave safe (they had a gold rim). There were lots of pots and pans, but only three spoons. There was a can opener, but no scissors. There was a table and three chairs.

The bathroom was very small, compared to the rest of the room it seemed even more so.

We requested a crib, which a porter brought up to us. However, there was no blanket. The crib was really neat though, it was small, but an actually crib, not a playpen like we get in most hotels.

There was a swimming pool in the basement and an exercise room. You need a key to get into the swimming pool and a separate card to get into the exercise room.

The room had air conditioning, and one feature we liked was that there was a separate thermostat for the bedroom.

The hotel was not new, the carpet was worn in places, but the staff was very friendly. We had no problem getting extra towels, for example. In fact we really liked the atmosphere at the hotel.

The view was the roof of the other side of the building. But the location of our room was great. It was right across from the stairs. There was an elevator at the end of the hall, but since we never needed to go up or down more than two flights, we used the stairs, except when transporting luggage.

Free hi-speed internet was available, but it required a cable which was located in the bedroom. There was only one hook-up, so we had to take turns. We had no problem getting on the internet.

The room was well worth the cost of $135 per night. Regular double rooms were about $105 for the same weekend.

Room service was available, but we did not try it. The prices seemed about average for the items.

There were two TVs, one in each of the rooms.

Construction on the road made it tricky to get in and out of the parking lot. We ended up turning the wrong way or missing the turn several times.
