This modest European-style hotel is especially convenient for
those who want to immerse themselves in the shopping of
Christiansted. Located downtown on the waterfront, the 43-
room inn is within walking distance of just about everything in
Christiansted, from art galleries to the historic fort to fine din-
ing. It's an excellent choice for anyone on a budget, and you can
splurge with the penthouse suite, with a living room, full
kitchen, large bedroom, and two baths, for less than the cost of a
standard room at many other island properties.
