I was forced to stay at City view when weather delays caused me to miss my LIAT (Leave Island Any Time) airline connection back home. I didn't expect much from LIAT but this was really bad. The rooms were spacious and clean however they were old, worn, and dark. There were no toiletries. The night I stayed there were several floods in the building. The towels were dingy, the sheets were thin and itchy, I had to beg to get a remote for the tiny TV, I was unable to make phone calls from my room, the AC emitted a musty odor. I just felt so uncomfortable that I was not able to sleep all night.

The service in the small resturant was horrible. I recognize that the one waitress was overworked as there were several very angry people who had missed their flights and ended up in this dump. The waitress was rude at times and it took 45 minutes for me to get a bowl of soup and a glass of wine. If left to me my nex t trip to Antigua will not involve City View. To put the icing on the cake, as I waited right in front of the hotel the next morning for a taxi back to the airport, a big rat ran frighteningly close to my foot. Good thing I was on my way out.

We(my boo and I) stayed here for six nights and I will never stay here again. Before check in we always ask for our total bill and was quoted one price, then to our surprise at four thirty in the morning when we needed to check out we had to pay a total of over two hundred US$ more that we had been told, there was nothing we could do at that time in the morning because we had to get to the airport so we paid it. We expected to have to pay an extra sixty US because even though there is a stove in the room it is only available for use if you pay US $10 a day extra, I took this into account and still cannot figure out where the extra 200 dollars came from. Then there was the smell, like old, wet leather shoes, I complained and the housekeeper tried her best to mask it but to no avail. The rooms are big but that is about the only plus as the tv is so small and so far away from the beds that I had to be constantly moving it and the lighting in the room left a lot to be desired, it was just too bim, if there had been a bulb in the centre of the ceiling it would have made a lot of difference but the only lights in the room were in the corners(how stupid is that?) anyway Antigua is a beautiful island and I will be there again on June 1st for 1 week, I will definately be staying at another hotel this time around, however.

This hotel is at the top of the city overlooking the sea and offers a great view especially from the restaurant on the top floor.
the rooms are extremely spacious with air conditioning and a small kitchen area should you wish to keep your expenses down.
i have stayed here a few times, and was pleasently surprised that they remembered me from my first visit 18 months prior, i have found the staff to be very helpful and friendly
they also have a gym which is outside so does not take long to build up a sweat!
there are also washing machines to keep the washing down while you are away with change available at reception.
for those wishing to sit by the pool all day sorry there is not one at the hotel but the sea is in view, but you will have to travel for the beach by a short taxi ride.
however the town centre is only on your door step with all the duty free shops by the cruise terminal only a 2 minute walk away.
summery for business this hotel is greatly located in the centre but for vacation you may wish to choose one by the beach

Not too exciting in decor, but it catered for a business visitor to the simple Antiguan capital. Their breakfast was GREAT, was that really continental? The rooms were spacious, GOOD HEAVENS you can play some soft ball cricket in my room, it was big, hence the TV was a good distance away. The staff were all great and as a West Indian, I can relate to the common thread of "my people". The Internet was reasonably fast & Free (I saved there) since I have to be online quite alot.

To cut a long story short, the HOTEL is cool, and please ask for BARRY the reliable TAXI driver
