Has anyone stayed at lindbergh bay hotel and villa recently?

is that the old Best Western?

It's the old Carib Beach Hotel.

LOL in 20+ years, I've never been there.

I drove by to take a look at the exterior and it looks quitre nice...the Villas look beautiful...it's very convenient, do a Google search.

Never stayed there.
Usually do Emerald Beach.
Have also stayed at Frenchman's a few times.

We've stayed there a couple times when we had an early flight out of STT. It's nice enough and have a decent bar/restaurant. And it's an easy walk to the airport.

Have stayed there and as Chris says above - nice enough and very convenient to STT - have stayed at Emerald Beach too - last time I stopped there just to hang at the restaurant since I had quite a bit of time between the ferry and my flight, there were a ton of cruise passengers doing a day excursion at their beach....their prices have also gone up a bit lately at EB. We have also stayed at Island Beachcomber - rooms are VERY basic but they have a decent restaurant and beach bar. Not as close of a walk as the former Best Western now Lindbergh Bay Villas.

so a hotel room in now a villa, or have they actually added villas?

This is what they are calling the villa section with its own private pool.
