Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is ideally located within walking distance of various restaurants, the beach, the art deco district, and the convention center. The rooms offer a mix of positives with a comfortable bed and a clean bathroom but are let down by a damp and slightly smelly environment. The service was accommodating and helpful despite some issues. The dining options were lacking considering the abundance of eateries nearby. Overall, a convenient stay with a mix of highs and lows.
The hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms, although not initially meeting expectations, turned out to be really nice, especially with the swift change offered due to a strange noise from the pipes. The customer service was outstanding, providing the best available room for the same price originally booked. However, there were issues with the service being charming and professional yet skeptical about payments and promises made. The location was very central to major attractions, although there were some limitations in operating hours. The dining experience was reasonable but not exceptional. Overall, a mixed but somewhat satisfying stay.
I truly felt like a welcomed guest in this hotel, with cozy rooms and a functional layout. The friendly staff made my stay memorable, although some aspects could use improvement. The location is superb, striking a perfect balance between lively areas and peaceful streets.
My stay at the hotel was such a mixed experience. The rooms were cozy and welcoming, but unfortunately, very damp and a bit smelly. The service was a hit and miss - while the staff were awesome and friendly, they seemed oblivious to my bathroom issue. The location was fantastic, close to many attractions, yet the dining was a letdown without even coffee included. The atmosphere was inviting, but there were some definite drawbacks that impacted the overall stay.
Staying at the Cadet Hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms felt cozy and perfect, but a bit small for two people. Unfortunately, we missed out on some of the hotel's offerings like the beautiful whiskey tasting room and side-terrace due to lack of information at check-in. On the downside, we encountered ants all over the bathroom.
The hotel to the Bahamas is charming and felt a bit dated, yet quite comfortable. The service brought one up and 're-set' the a/c, was happy, very helpful, amazing, and super helpful. The location is close to everything, yet tucked away, avoiding noise issues. The dining experience is in a perfect location but with early closure at 7.30am. The facilities are lovely for a boutique stay.
The hotel was not all that nice with lower-quality beds and furniture for the price, and it had a musty smell in the rooms. However, it was convenient being close to the staff room even though it was noisy in the early morning.
