It's a place with real personality, a true Bahamian institution.”

I was happy to get into a room early. This happened after a flight change from afternoon to an early AM arrival. The bathroom had luxury items. I appreciated easy walking distance to good restaurants.
My room faced the street and some noise occurred.
