A short walk west of downtown Nassau, within a cluster of other cost-conscious hotels that include both the El Greco and the Quality Inn, this hotel lies across busy West Bay Street from the relatively narrow confines of Junkanoo Beach (which is also known as Lighthouse Beach or the Western Esplanade). Though not as fine or dramatic as Cable Beach, a few miles west, it's a safe urban beach with tranquil waters and a lot of shells. This place is a good value for those who don't demand particularly attentive service and who don't want to pay the higher prices charged by the more deluxe and better-accessorized hotels along Cable Beach. Bedrooms are outfitted in a standardized motel style, most with a view of Nassau Harbour, and come with extras you don't always find in a moderately priced choice, such as alarm clocks, two-line phones, and a working desk. All have relatively well-maintained bathrooms containing tub/showers. There's a bar and two restaurants within a few steps of the hotel itself and several other places to eat and drink within a 5-minute walk.
