The room was clean and comfortable. We were able to get checked in before check-in time. They were very accommodating with that. We've stayed here a few times before and will definitely stay again!

There is nothing bad I can say about this place. The place is cute, quaint and very comfortable. The staff are very welcoming and super friendly. We could literally walk out the front door and take 25 steps and be at the beach. absolutely amazing place. We will definitely be going there again.

The location of the hotel is great, lots of dining and shopping very close.. easy walk to the beach. The hotel is small and very nice. The staff was helpful and friendly. The only issue was the pull out sofa bed was very small and uncomfortable for an adult.

Poor WiFi We were in the Grand Bahama and the bed was terrible - needs to be replaced- way too soft and it collapsed in the middle. Great stay other than that.
