The Buccaneer, St. Croix

Here are the best 10 hotels, inns, motels, etc., that we've always stayed at. In no exceptional order, all are outstanding properties...


Ambassador Hotel - Milwaukee, Wisconsin - An art-deco precious stone adjacent to Marquette University nigh downtown. For a modest upcharge, they include a really indulgent breakfast inward the foyer restaurant. The rooms are really generous inward size, up-to-date, in addition to receive got unopen to of the nigh comfortable bedding we've always had. For an old, historic property, it's really overnice to meet modern accessible bathrooms inward rooms that are non an afterthought or located inward a dark, corner of the hotel. All of this would hold out moot, however, if the service wasn't good. Thankfully, the staff hither is at the overstep of the game in addition to really attentive to their guests needs in addition to wants.


The Buccaneer - St. Croix, U.S.A. Virgin Islands - Another historic hotel in addition to the best inward the Caribbean. Incredible staff that volition walk miles to brand certain you're comfortable in addition to having a expert time. The accessible rooms are truly suites amongst a bedroom, living room, 2 bathrooms, walk-in closet, in addition to a large terrace overlooking the sea. The breakfast buffet volition amaze you lot every bit you lot receive got inward the morning time beach views from the opened upwards air dining area. Only downside is it's hilly in addition to tough to walk downward to the beach along the steep slope. 


Riu Palace - Punta Cana, Dominican Republic - Part of a really large grouping of Riu properties on a mile of beachfront in addition to hundreds of acres at the far eastern cease of the isle of Hispaniola. While the fully accessible rooms tend to hold out hidden inward the back, a large alternative of step-free rooms are available throughout the hotel. Oustanding beaches, endless pools, in addition to all inclusive, what sets the Riu apart from it's competitors is an mental attitude of "if you're non happy, we're non happy in addition to we'll practice whatever it takes to alter that." Best service we've always had at whatever hotel inward the world...period. You'll cease upwards amongst life-long friends from the staff when you lot larn out here.

Homewood Suites - Seattle, Washington - This Hilton belongings inward the Queen Anne neighborhood is similar nigh Homewood Suites...large, multiroom suites that are really comfortable...but, again, it's the service that sets it apart from the managing director truly going the extra mile to larn keen local microbrews in addition to locally inspired cuisine inward the even reception, providing detailed jogging maps in addition to telling you lot where to halt to larn the best breathtaking views, to procuring special needs products similar bath chairs for your room. I wishing every Hilton's staff could hold out every bit expert every bit this one.


Shenandoah Inn - Plymouth, California - Mom in addition to Pop motel inward the Gold Country. Marie is the mom in addition to Ken...a quondam Marine...is the popular in addition to a friendlier mom in addition to popular you'll hold out difficult pressed to find. It's a basic motel but the rooms are clean, up-to-date, in addition to comfortable. Each 1 comes amongst million-dollar views of the rolling hills of Amador County's vino country. The puddle in addition to jacuzzi...with a elevator for the disabled...sit on a delightful patio amongst the same views, along amongst picnic tables in addition to barbecue because you're gonna desire to sit down hither amongst dinner, drinkable the bottle of vino you lot bought today, in addition to lookout adult man the Sun become down.  Just a beautiful, comfortable, friendly piece of  Heaven.


Mission Inn - Riverside, California - Another historic hotel inward the catch of Southern California's Inland Empire.  Along amongst the gorgeous property, amongst it's endless hallways, pathways, nooks, in addition to crannies to larn lost in, you lot larn impeccable service, larger than you lot idea rooms, keen puddle expanse (lift too), wonderful nutrient in addition to drink, in addition to an ever-present feeling of beingness somewhere really historical.  It's also located smack dab inward downtown Riverside where a large assortment of restaurants in addition to shops prevarication simply exterior to tempt you. Across the street is the historic restored Fox Theater making this a keen house to receive got inward dinner, a show, in addition to pass the night.


Drury Plaza at the Arch - St. Louis, Missouri - Drury Inns is a large, midwest based chain of hotels. We've never had a bad rest at whatever that we've been to but their flagship hotel inward downtown St. Louis takes it to unopen to other level. Again, the stone is keen service that's attentive to guests in addition to makes them happy. Great, fully accessible rooms in addition to suites. Very comfortable in addition to plush.  Great place adjacent to the Gateway Arch in addition to the statehouse...just a few, easily walked blocks to Busch Stadium for those Cardinal games. And the freebies...oh, those freebies...Drury is the manly somebody monarch of the gratis extras. Breakfast (darn expert one, too), happy lx minutes in addition to low-cal dinner, local calls, long distance calls, popcorn in addition to soda...the listing goes on of all the gratis materials you lot larn hither included amongst your reasonable room rate.  An expansive lobby, consummate amongst a large Lewis in addition to Clark diorama fountain, provides a overnice house to relax in addition to the puddle in addition to gym upstairs volition choke along you lot inward cast piece you're here.

Village past times the Sea - Wells, Maine - Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 hotel made upwards of condos, the rooms hither are really large in addition to really reasonable (but you lot must pay an upcharge to larn the alcove amongst the washer in addition to dryer unlocked inward your room). Not quite on the beach but solely separated from it past times a wild animals preserve, the the views are outstanding. You won't detect every bit much bang for your buck anywhere else downeast inward Maine.

Best Western Station House Inn - South Lake Tahoe, California - This motel adjacent to the stateline inward Lake Tahoe non solely has it's keen service going for it but it has the best gratis breakfast we've always had at a hotel. On the belongings is a overnice eating seat where guests larn to select from a bill of fare of seven great, full, in addition to consummate breakfasts, all served amongst a grinning past times the waiters at your table. The rooms are large amongst comfortable piece of furniture but the ceilings are simply a flake low. You tin walk a block to the lower gondola of Heavenly Valley for skiing in addition to unopen to other curt block eastward to see the casinos of Nevada. One of the world's nigh beautiful lakes lies solely 100 yards away.


The Flamingo Inn - Santa Rosa, California - I can't believe the prices of the rooms hither (but brand certain you lot larn a large plenty room, unopen to are pretty small). This resort is modeled subsequently it's namesake inward Las Vegas in addition to looks simply similar a retro, 1950's Vegas hotel, sans the casino. The good kept-up edifice rings a large lawn in addition to olympic size puddle where a political party atmosphere rules inward the warmer months. An on-site nightclub tin render amusement in addition to the wineries of Napa Valley in addition to Sonoma are less than xxx minutes away. Great staff in addition to great, oldschool vibe. It's our go-to hotel for visits to Napa Valley.

Notice the 1 thing inward mutual that ties all these hotels together...great service. It doesn't thing if you're a mom-and popular motel, a Caribbean Area isle resort, or a corporate behemoth...provide keen service in addition to you lot tin hold out a keen hotel.
