When I first arrived, I have to admit I was extremely disappointed in the room. It was somewhat run-down, paint over imperfections etc, , but it was clean. I was in St Croix for a week, and toured for work all over the island. This hotel really grew on me and by the time I left, it was actually pretty nice, considering what I saw in Fredericksted & other hotels in Christiansted. Your expectations cannot be the same as those while in the States, if they are, you will be disappointed. The people were nice enough & it is a great location & can walk up & down the boardwalk to shopping & decent restaurants. Be prepared for everyone to be on island time & not in any hurry. Overall, I would stay there again.

I stayed at the King Christian Hotel in St Croix, August 1-4, 2007 and had booked a "superior" room. According to their description, the room had air conditioning, fans, tropical decor, and a beautiful harbor view. The room was terrible! There was an air conditioner, but it did not work. I reported the problem, but it was not fixed. The furnishings must have been at least 50 years old - the carpet was dirty and torn, the pillows were lumps, the view was of a pile of rubbish, and a stagnant cesspool full of mesquitoes. When I got into the shower my first morning, there was no water. The door into the room did not have any type of security lock or deadbolt, leaving me feeling very unsafe at night.
The phone did not work either. The condition of the room, as well as the entire hotel, was poor. The door to the bathroom had holes in it about the size of bullets, which left me wondering what had happened to the previous guest. The only thing good about this place is the proximity to Christiansted.

We arrived in our room and it was terrible. There were holes in the ceiling, rust around metal frames around the doors, and carpet was stained and dirty, and there was dirty hand marks around the door handle into the bathroom, and the toilet had dirty on it like it wasn't cleaned all the way. The air conditioner knob was broken off and they said, oh, you just need to plug it in and it will start working. We went back to the front desk and complained and they refused to do anything about it, they even refused to give us any money back because of the problems. We refused to spend time in that dirty hotel room , so we spent time out of the room and went back just to sleep and left as soon as we could in the morning. It was awful!

my husband and i stayed for two weeks, had a great time. the hotel was clean, and the staff were all helpful and nice. we had a great view over looking the ocean, nice breeze. we will be back too this hotel. love st croix, friendly people. vickie @al bowen
