For Many years , about 35 , we have bare boat sailed the BVI.....always flew in thru puerto rico, overnight and then flew into beef island airport,Tortola.
This next trip in may 2019, we are planning on flying into to STT.....( from LAX, thru MIA to STT ) and then ferry to Road Harbor, Tortola the next day.. Need a decent overt night hotel room within walking or easy taxi ride to the ferry terminal in Charlote amalie .
Two people, just something nice and clean and not undergoing re construction.
Price range , reasonable $ 150 to $ 200.00 per night . Arr : STT, 1:30 pm, may 12 th . for overnight.
Any suggestion from the USVI experts out there ?
Thank you,
Denny and Erica

I've never stayed there, but the website for Olga's Fancy looks very cool! The one problem for me personally is that apparently there are a lot of stairs. The location is great though. Otherwise, I'm personally familiar with the Crystal Palace, an old time STT gem with a lovely view out over the harbor and a great host! Also Mafolie, which has a STUNNING view out over the harbor and also features a restaurant onsite. Have also stayed at Windward Passage, which was OK, but apparently they want a lot of money for it now. For $150 or so, a good deal, but for the reported $300, no freaking way..

Marisol--I've had TWO knee replacements, so right now, stairs are an issue for me. But as I said, otherwise, the place looks great!

No problem, just pointing it out, for anyone else that it might be an issue.

Thank to you all,
Great recommendations, and will get together with Admiral Erica, and explore every one of your suggestions.
We know zip about St. Thomas, so this trip will be a very new experience .
At this time, we are talking a couple of days on St. Thomas, and have to explore what to see and do,
That will be whole new thread, as I will do some research first and select what feels good to us, and then ask opinions.

...99 Steps are a short walk and ..... If you are exploring for a couple of days make sure you do the 99 steps tour (knees permitting). Have have a look on your left, as you ascend, at the remnants of Hotel 1829. Stayed there in the mid-90s when it included a restaurent and again in 2009. A truly unique building and hopefully the current onwers will get it restored and operating again. The amber waterfall in its courtyard was a nice feature. https://stthomassource.com/content/2018/03/04/hurricane-repairs-underway-at-hotel-1829/a bit farther up the hill is Galleon House....now if your are looking for a workout on the stairs then THAT is the place to walk to and it has a pool as your reward for making it up all of the steps.
