Excellent service provided by hotel

My wife and I took a wonderful trip to scenic St. Thomas at the end of January to get away from the Midwest cold. The hotel is located downtown and in walking distance to the downtown area and both cruise terminals (if you like to walk a lot like we do). The hotel is built into the side of a hill and there are MANY steps. The Bunker Hill is older so we didn't expect a 5-star hotel, but a few things happened that we wanted to share with future travelers thinking about staying there. First of all, the beds are super-comfortable, the free sit-down breakfast was unexpected and delicious, the pool area is nice after a long day, and the on-site restaurant is a good option if you don't feel like venturing out for dinner. Check-in was smooth and couldn't have gone any better. Our room, #24, was ready when we arrived. We chose a cheaper room - it is nothing to write home about (but comfortable enough) and next to the breakfast kitchen, which means we could hear people talking and pans clanging at 7:15 each morning. Again, not the worst thing. On our third night there, I heard drops of water hitting the other pillow in my bed throughout the night - maybe one drop every minute or two. The next morning, I checked it out and had no idea where the water was coming from. Then I noticed the a/c was dripping water down the wall and running under my bed and to the floor between the beds. I talked to the front desk receptionist and she said they would take care of the issues by the time we returned later that day. Needless to say, they put a ”band-aid” on the problem and simply put towels on the floor by the wall. They didn't tell us why the ceiling was leaking. We asked to be moved to a different room. They moved us into a much better room (#52) that had 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a kitchenette and a living room. The problem is that neither of the 2 TVs worked. At least I couldn't get them to work. On the first night I called the receptionist and she was no help. The second night we ran into the maintenance guy and told him about the problem. He said he had to check on something first and would be right back. He never came back, so we didn't have functioning TVs for the last 2 nights. IMHO, I think since Bunker Hill is an older hotel, it has issues that get reported, but the issues are never resolved. At least that was our experience.

Our last night after a stay in St. John. This hotel was not the most luxurious, but it was good enough and perfect for your first or last night in the USVI. The staff were helpful telling us where to see things. The location was good, too. The beds were not the best but we were tired from our trip and just happy to have a clean place to sleep.

We recently held a graduation party at the Island View Guest House on St. Thomas, and it was absolutely fantastic! The venue was perfect, with breathtaking views that everyone loved. The scenery added a magical touch to our celebration. Marshall and his wife were incredibly friendly and helpful, answering all our questions and ensuring everything went smoothly. Our guests couldn't stop raving about the beautiful location and the wonderful atmosphere. Thank you for making our event so memorable. Highly recommended!

This was our 4th stay at St John Inn since 2020. We have done one night stays and multi-night stays. This time we were there for our last night of an 18 day visit so we could have a night in Cruz Bay and be close to the ferry for departure. We had to turn in a rental car so we arrived early, around 10:00 am. Courtesy rental is just a few steps away and is our go-to for rentals after many years of visiting the island. Our room was open so the office manager for the day, Fredna, accommodated our very early check-in and even offered breakfast and helped me move bags to the room. We met the property manager, Donna, who was helping guests make reservations and helping guests plan activities, even on her “day off”. All the staff was amazing and we enjoyed a day of lounging by the pool to relax after a long trip. We stayed in the Hart Bay room (111), which is a standard room that is accessed from the office area. The room was very clean. We had a mini fridge and microwave which was perfect for preparing a light lunch to eat by the pool. We have also stayed in the Honeymoon room (120), the Cruz Bay room, and the 2 BR suite with shared bath. All the rooms are unique, but consistently decorated in a colorful, Caribbean style. They also have excellent WiFi throughout the property :).
