• radisson fort george is a very great hotel with a buffet, restaurant, marina and gift shops. try to stay in the main building or the tower. the annex is not as nice.

• the great house nice hotel in a large colonial house across from the radisson. the rooms have a more bed & breakfast feel.

• Chateau Caribbean: A great place to stay. Food is great, especially the seafood soup. Service is awesome. The hotel is a large colonial style house which was at one time, a hospital.
