The facility and room was all in order with the hotel's 3 star rating, the on-site restaurant was good food and reasonably priced. Reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is the in room air conditioner was just borderline. Not sure if actual sizing or simply needed maintenance, but it would take hours for each single degree it cooled the room. The room was set at 84 when I arrived so was day 2 before it reached my desired temp.

The overall experience at this facility was one of a kind. The check in was pretty good and I was surrounded by local business and banking which made my trip a breeze. I will definitely visit again.

The property and rooms were clean and maintained despite the age and dated appearance. The restaurant was very good and reasonably priced for the Bahamas. Staff was friendly. Only drawback is no fridge or coffee maker in the room I had. I suppose I could have inquired at the desk but I ended up buying a styrofoam cooler and 20lb bag of ice.

It was clean and in good distance for where I wanted to go. It was not Baha Mar, but it was not Smith's Motel, either... It's decent for the money.

The property is near to down town and other restaurants which I loved.
I did not like that the towel rack was non existent or the toilet paper holder. Other than those things , everything else was great.

Cheap, but lack in general necessities.
No hot water and safe was broken. Pillows were really old. Otherwise, it was reasonably cheap and comfortable.

Last time we got a hotel on this island we had to wait 12 hours for staff to get our room ready. While we waited all guests that arrived after us got rooms. Since I don’t have anything nice to say about that costal hotel, I will say this hotel was much cleaner, friendly staff, reasonably priced and as far as Freeport hotels go overall was awesome! Thank guys for showing us the full power of the Golden Rule

It was pretty good. I wish they had a map with nearby dining options and taxi drivers' contact details. We were only told about a Dominos Pizza within waking distance which charged $46 for a large and a medium pizza. Taxis in Grand Bahama are sometimes hard to find and cannot be pined down to a time. We wish that Uber would be allowed and the crappy-taxi service monopoly will wither on the vine.
