It is not the first time i choose this hotel, i'm travelling to Nassau at least 3-4 times per year for business. And i decided to tried this hotel the previous time, now i did again... but my flight was cancelled at last time (i was at the airport already) and the hotel didn't want to do a refund... i won't book again here or anyone at the company.

I like that it felt safe and cleanliness of the building and hotel was really good. The beach was beautiful and accessible. There was a lot of good options locally to the building. I did have a $45 cigar stolen from my room. I tried to report it to the desk and was dismissed. Hotel elevators broke down towards the end of the trip. And the cable was out 2 days out of the trip. I didn't know that there was a $45 reservation fee and $100 a day whole fee prior to going. The pictures of the room display something a lot larger than what it is. Would have preferred accurate photographs. The only disappointment really was the 45 cigar that was taken from the room. No other items was stolen.

This is an historical building. It should be treated as such. Instead, the bathroom showers are deplorable with mold and the sinks and rest of the bathrooms arent properly cleaned everyday. There is noise coming from the air vents or behind the walls that the staff says they are not aware of, but were forced to admit that they heard it as I rang the front desk to come to my room and listen for themselves at 2 am. This hotel could be so glamorous with it beauty and history. Instead, they are milking the cow only serving a spoonful of milk.
