The hotel was a very good one. The service was excellent all the way around. The hotel was clean, and the staff was attentive. The front desk was very responsive and polite addressing every concern that I needed answers or help with. The hotel grounds were beautiful and well kept. Our room had a shower as well as a tub. The ocean view was spectacular. There were restaurants in the hotel that served good food. I strongly recommend this hotel it is clean, safe and in a very good location around many shops within walking distance.

Beautiful and comfortable stay

We were pleasantly surprised at how beautiful and spectacular this hotel was. It is said to be the oldest hotel on the island. Recently refurbished in 2023, it reflects opulence and grandeur. Rooms are clean, spacious. Ours was an ocean view room. We daily watched the incoming Cruise ships from our room. WiFi very good in all areas. All in all a lovely stay. The hotel is central to downtown Nassau, placed well for eating and entertainment

The business were onpen baded on how many cruise ship was at port. The business closed very early or didn't open at all. The only clean area was at the port. Many people working at the shops had a nasty attitude if you asked them a question, especially about prices. I won't visit Nassau, Bahamas again. Nor would I recommend it to anyone.
