What a wonderful hotel. We were pleasantly greeted on arrival by the owners. The hotel is full of character and is undergoing renovations. The location is great with wonderful views of the ocean. Sunday brunch was excellent.

We really enjoyed staying at our his historic and recently renovated hotel. Rooms have lots of exposed brick and historic charm mixed with modern showers. Our room had a beautiful double door with shutters going out to a shared balcony that has a beautiful view of the bay in Charlotte Amalie. Easy walking distance to the bay and to numerous restaurants, bars, and shops in the area. Had a chance to talk to owner Jessica who took time to answer questions about the property and St Thomas. Renovations are ongoing on the backside of the hotel but did not hear them or disrupt our stay. Will book again when we circle back through the area later in the month. Thanks again!

Charming, one of a kind hotel
I came for a night and extended my stay. The owners are sweet and helpful. I checked in early and checked out late. They called and arranged for a taxi upon my departure. I booked the smallest room and it was much larger than I expected. The rainfall shower was a dream after being on a sailboat for a week. There is a small fridge in the room, water bottles, and an electric pot for heating water for coffee. There are also luxurious robes and fluffy towels. The bed is comfortable and the air conditioner is new and efficient. I put the rooftop pool to good use and the views are amazing. I was traveling alone and I felt very safe. Amazing shopping is right around the corner. I found a market within walking distance and plenty of restaurants. I walked to the hotel from the ferry and took a short taxi ride to the airport. I plan to return for a longer visit 😎
