The Capuccino Lounge, located in downtown St. John's, Antigua, is both a restaurant and bar, with entertainment, and rooms to rent upstairs. My brother and I stayed here as it was one of the least expensive places we could find and we needed only one night there since we were travelling to Montserrat the next morning. The rooms were $50 which is fine; but upon our arrival we walked up the stairs into a narrow hall, and the room itself was tiny, with a large comfortable bed, tiny bath with hot and cold water, toilet and shower, and a television with cable. But the place lacks any charm, unless you are into local entertainment, which is what the bar and lounge downstairs provides. After a comfortable night's sleep, we asked about breakfast and ordered bacon and eggs--without any menu--as the place is very informal. When the bill came it was US$25, which is higher than Manhattan.
This place is good for those who need a very basic bed for the night, but extended stays might be interrupted by the music emanating from the first floor bar. There are people drinking at all hours of the day, and you don't really know when the noise will stop. It would be great if the full menu were printed out for people to know what to pay, or expect to pay, in advance. Nothing special, but for $50 a night, plus tax, it's not bad overall.
If you want luxury with a view of the beach or ocean, find another place.
Antigua itself is a nice island with lots of beaches, and the downtown area of St. John's is pleasant enough with lots of shoppings, resaturants, bars, boutiques and banking facilities with ATM machines. This place is convenient to the downtown which is a plus.
