Nice stay
It was a nice stay in a good and clean room. And the view from the room over the bay was wonderful. Service and the staff were helpful and willing to help when needed.

It was clean, spacious, smelled nice, room temperature was perfect. With a restaurant on property, we didn't have to venture far for a dining experience.

I picked this Inn because one of the website has scuba diving, turns out the scuba owner retired last year. The service and staff are excellent although limited in what they can assist on activities. The place is out of the way, it's best to rent a car. It's about 20 minutes walk to the Port Lucayan Market. Vibration from music from a quarter mile away can be heard, so if you're a light sleeper, this could be an issue. Very convenient restaurant 'Upstairs on the Bay' has good food and excellent Conch Chowder.

My stay at Bell Channel was enjoyable, the hotel staff and restaurant
staff are friendly and helpful, especially Roberta in housekeeping. The property is well maintained and rooms clean. The only negative is there is no elevator and I was on the 3rd floor and have injured knees which were very swollen and sore by day 3 and for the rest of my 7day stay.

A pleasant family 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.
