Courtyard by Marriott Nassau Downtown/Junkanoo Beach
The cleaning staff was excellent. The self-parking for no fee was helpful. Breakfast was too expensive and so never had breakfast in the hotel.

Holiday Inn Express & Suites Nassau by IHG
Rooms were clean, breakfast is excellent. We did have an issue with hot water in the shower but after 2days of stay we were moved to another room and everything was good. The beach is right across the hotel. Convenient store is right next to the hotel. Friendly staff.
