Good central location. Clean accommodations. As some had commented when I was researching, we found it was possible to make the pleasant walk to the South Shore beaches...about 20 minutes. Walking works in general for the surrounding neighborhood, but since there isn't always a sidewalk, try and avoid rush hour or walking along the roads after sundown. The public buses are cheap AND reliable...it just takes a little effort to figure them out (exact Bermuda coins or tickets...no paper money). Cabs are considerably more expensive and not always around where you might need them. Buy a book of tickets if you can for the buses. Even if you don't use them all, your individual rides will be even cheaper by buying a book of tickets. The ferries work sort of the the same way as the buses and are recommended for larger scenic skips around the island. US money taken EVERYWHERE we went...you just might get Bermuda change. The supermarket nearby is good, especially if you plan to cook a bit (adjoining bakery fresh and very good), and we had a nice fresh lunch at the nearby Island Cuisine restaurant. Wahoo's Restaurant...good seafood, nice people, if you find yourself in St. George's parish. Another great money saver: go to the deli/grill INSIDE the "Pharmacy" for light lunch at the Dockyards (tables outside). Fresh, and much cheaper than the nearby pub-style sit-down restaurants. Those are also perfectly good...just more expensive and larger portions...depends what kind of lunch you're looking for. Juanita is a good resource for questions. Thanks!
