The Courtfeigh

Some tourists prefer the Courtleigh to the Hilton or Pegasus because it's a warmer, friendlier place, and has a more personal atmosphere. The prices are affordable, as well. The six-floor hotel is the filling in the "sandwich" between the Hilton and the Pegasus, standing at the core of the business district. The well-furnished bedrooms live up to the standards of its two neighbors. The mahogany furnishings, evocative of the West Indies, are beautiful. Request one of the units with a four-poster bed. The suites are particularly notable here, including such extras as big desks, two TVs, a dining table, a kitchenette, and a walk-in closet. Each comes with a midsize, tiled private bathroom with a tub/ shower combination. The rectangular pool is often a rendezvous for business clients, and Alexander's, the hotel restaurant, is worth a visit even if you're not a guest.
