When Jamie Steel bought Salty Towers (then called The Seaside Inn) back in 1994, he was only the second innkeeper in the history of the inn. What he and Deb have built since then is nothing short of legendary, as a home away from home, a shelter from the storm for folks of all walks of life. Cheers to you both and long live the spirit of Salty!
Now meet the new crew...
Beth and Jon Weaver are now at the helm of Salty Towers, only the third set of innkeepers in its 100-year history!
Beth is a proud Miramichier from Ferry Road, New Brunswick. She was known by many as manager of the Picaroons Tap Room in Fredericton and later as owner of Cravings on King Street. Beth’s heart of hospitality is legendary (Jon's word). Just ask anyone who has stayed at Salty since Beth & Jon took the helm.
Jon is widely known as one third of the beloved Fredericton music group, Modabo, and as a founding member of the Downtown Blues Band among others. Jon performed at Paddlefest in the 1990’s, collaborated with Jamie as a booking agent in the 2000’s and now Jon is continuing the tradition of music at Salty by jamming with guests and presenting house concerts at Salty.
"We feel the magnitude of the legacy of Salty Towers and we are overjoyed to carry it on. For us this is at once a big adventure, a homecoming and a dream come true. Come visit, eat, play and revel in all that is Salty Towers!"
