Definitely an older place. Staff weren’t very warm. Wouldn’t go as far as saying rude but they didn’t seem to like their job. Place is not dirty but not spotless either. Just ok.

The hotel is fine for a one night stay and very convenient for the ferry. The food at breakfast was good and value for money. However, the service wasn't wonderful. The staff were not very welcoming on arrival and the attention to detail was missing - no second cup of coffee offered, had to go and ask for more water for tea and never asked once if everything was ok with our food

St. Christopher's is high on top of the mountain with half the rooms facing out toward the ocean and the Ferry terminal / port. Lovely and scenic. Unfortunately there is no continental breakfast.
