*We had a rocky start here.* Visited: June 2006
Posted by patches1127
	I was rather disappointed when we arrived and we were given key cards to.. not one.. not two.. but three rooms that had not yet been cleaned. The staff seemed so nonchalant and had a "no worries" attitude about it. After waiting for about an hour, we finally got a clean room and free breakfast for the entire stay. The room was average, but the view was fabulous. After an eventful afternoon, the rest of my stay was nice.

*We found this to be an average hotel.* Visited: March 2006
Posted by england_jules
	We stayed just for one night, having traveled from the BVIs. The people who worked here were friendly enough, but we booked one of the junior suites and were a little disappointed. I would class it more as a slightly larger than average double room. The balcony was fairly non existent, the bathroom was a bit grubby (though the shower was good), and there were strange noises coming from somewhere above us that we couldn't put our finger on. In addition, the in-house movie we wanted didn't work, and housekeeping failed to turn up with additional coffee, creamer, etc. when we phoned down to request it. Also, we ate both dinner and breakfast at the hotel, and both were average standard. The hotel itself had an excellent location right by the downtown shops and ferry terminal, and the views were great. We would probably stay here again because of its location, though we wouldn't waste money on going for the suite - it was just not worth it.

*A lovely hotel to stay in for business or pleasure.* Visited: June 2003
Posted by gettens
	This Holiday Inn has it all. It has a great location, tastefully appointed rooms, lovely courtyard with bar and restaurant, a pool, on-site shops, etc. The price is right, also. You can ask for the corporate rate and get a room for right around $90 or $100 a night. It's also good for vacationers (singles, couples, families) or business travelers. I saw both here. It is especially safe for women traveling alone as security is excellent. It is very safe and a good bargain.

*It was good for one night.* Visited: May 2003
Posted by ann
	This hotel was good for a one-night stay. The rooms were clean - about the same as the Marriot Frenchman's Reef. The air conditioner was really noisy, though. The location was also bad, unless you just want to shop. It was near Charolette Amalie and in a bad section of town. We got a really good rate, but we wouldn't pay big bucks for this hotel. We were satisfied with our stay, but if you want to beach it or luxury go somewhere else.

*I will return* Visited: July 2002
Posted by HRM100
	This was a great place for two women to stay. We had a terrific view from our room. It is so close to shopping and there was a great Italian restaurant nearby. We were afraid to wander at night, but we enjoyed looking at the houses on the hill all lit up night. It looked like Christmas. We even enjoyed the barbeque food being sold across the street in the evening. Our rooms were comfortable and the price didn't break us. I hope to go again in the very near future.

*Not Worth The Money* Visited: June 2002
Posted by lcalpha
	Overall property not in good condition, in particular the bathroom. Stained carpeting and bleach smell in room. The Front desk appeared unorganized. This is more of a $30 per night motel, certainly not worth $125.

*Great location, OK hotel* Visited: April 2001
Posted by sethwallis
	The location of this hotel is hard to beat. Shopping areas are easily within walking distance and the airport is a short cab ride away. However, the room was another story. My wife and I had just come from a nicer property in St John and were initially "underwhelmed" with the Holiday Inn. We had an Oceanview Room and the view was great, but the balcony was non-existent, the carpet was stained, the beds were shot and the air-conditioner was very loud. The room had an overall feel of a motel. That said, I would probably stay here again because of the location and the staff. The staff was wonderful. We checked in early and had to store our bags and we checked out 5 hours before our flight and stored our bags again upon checking out; there were no problems either time. The front desk people were more than willing to help with any issue and the shuttle to the beach was a breeze. I would recommend this hotel to everyone but just keep your room expectations low-the hotel lost a star for aesthetics.

*Excellent bargain in a prime location.* Visited: March 2001
Posted by emeyer
	I just returned from a five-day, four-night trip to St. Thomas with my girlfriend. Since we were both on a somewhat limited budget, we opted to stay at the Holiday Inn Windward Passage Hotel in the Downtown Charlotte Amalie section of St. Thomas. Let me start off by telling you what it's not. At one time or another, most people have stayed at a Holiday Inn before. So you can imagine that staying at the Holiday Inn in the USVI is not like staying at a luxury hotel. Also, it is not a beach resort. That's right, no beach (though the hotel does offer a free daily shuttle to Maegan�s Bay). Having prefaced this review by telling you what this hotel doesn�t have, why have I given it 3 stars? Well, even for a Holiday Inn, the hotel itself is pretty nice. I believe it recently received a multi-million dollar facelift, and I'd say they did a good job. The lobby is inviting and cozy. The rooms are fairly spacious, air conditioned and well equipped with a refrigerator, coffee machine and a lazy boy. The grounds are clean and well maintained. The freshwater pool provides a nice late afternoon spot to cool off after a day at the beach. I never had lunch or dinner at the hotel, but the breakfast is pretty darn good. I'd give the outdoor bar a thumbs up as well. And then there's the hotel staff. They get 5 stars. They made our stay at the hotel an absolute pleasure. From the front desk personnel and the bar/restaurant staff to the cleaning help, everyone is pleasant and always willing to be of assistance. Nothing was ever a problem. Aside from the hotel staff, it's location, location, location! So the hotel doesn't have a beach, but there was so much to see and do in St. Thomas and we only had five days of vacation. We visited places like Maegan�s Bay, Trunk Bay (St. John's), Coki Beach, etc. If I would have stayed at a hotel with a beach, I probably would have never used it anyway. So when you figure that at the Windward Passage, you are two blocks from the shopping district, three blocks from the St. John's Ferry, and a free shuttle ride away from Maegan's Bay, not to mention a short 5-10 minute ride from the airport, which allows you to squeeze out some precious extra hours at the end of your vacation, you're in pretty good shape! To sum it all up, if you are on a tight budget or have a limited time�frame in St. Thomas, I have to say that the Holiday Inn is the way to go.

*Great location, but the rooms are in need of help.* Visited: March 2000
Posted by Jabrular
	Our third stay at the Windward will be our last. We had a group of four couples stay here, two separate nights on one trip. On both visits, three of four rooms had maintenance issues: loose toilet seats, shower curtain rods falling out and air-conditioning problems. In addition to these complaints, the staff at the desk were surly at best. Their attitude was very uncharacteristic of the gracious attitude in St. Thomas. We will never stay here again.

*Windward offers a wonderful getaway from the daily grind.* Visited: November 1999
Posted by dfarrell
	I have stayed at Windward Passage for the last 15 yrs. St. Thomas is my saving grace from the daily grind and Windward has always come through for us. I usually take a group once a year and everything from the friendliness and competence of the employees to the comfort of the rooms have always made our stay enjoyable. It's a wonderful location..close to all shopping, restaurants and nightlife. Also, I love looking out the window in the morning to watch the cruise ships sail into the beautiful harbor. I look forward to many more years of staying at your wonderful hotel.
