Bell Channel Inn Hotel

Bell Channel Inn is close enough to the Port Lucaya Marketplace to walk there and close enough to the Lucaya Shopping Center to get groceries at Solomon’s with a taxi ride back (public bus service was unreliable). There’s a small pool on the property and lots of beach chairs. The restaurant on the third floor is open from 7:30 in the morning until 11 at night. The food was good and reasonably priced. The front desk staff was always helpful. The room was spacious with a comfortable bed, a small refrigerator and microwave (but no utensils), and a shower. The air conditioner and ceiling fan kept the room cool. There was a balcony with 2 chairs. The flat screen TV had a variety of American channels, some Bahamaian channels and music channels. The wifi coverage was spotty. It was good in the lobby and the restaurant but less reliable in my room at the end of the building. I found that the signal improved if I placed my mobile device close to the TV signal box but it went in and out constantly. E-mail and web surfing were OK but forget about streaming videos. I’m glad I stayed there.

We came back as we stayed here last year. Jeanie is very welcoming and helpful; ordering us taxis for shopping & the airport. They provide a coupon for a free drink in the bar for all 3 of us and the restaurant serves great food quickly. The room C-1 was lacking as there was a very small weak stream of water in the sink; however the shower was fine. And we only had 2 sets of towels when there are 3 of us. No beach but nice view of harbor & Lucayan Marketplace.

We had a lovely stay for New Year. Our room was excellent, huge comfy bed, good TV, very clean and a nice balcony, overlooking the water. AC was great and we had coffee making facilities and a fridge in the room as well. Staff were brilliant, really friendly and helpful. Lots of help planning trips and taxis etc. The hotel is a 15min walk to Port Lucaya Marketplace and the beach.
