This review was out of character with the others and the explanation below is offered to give the owners view point: -

It is unquestionably unfortunate that the lady who wrote this review was robbed of a very large amount of cash on another Bahamian island before arriving at Mignon Guest House in Nassau.

Mary, the owner/manager, chatted sympathetically with her at some length regarding her bad experience before leaving to run an errand. Steve, Mary's husband, then attempted to check her in, discovering that she had no means of payment. Unable to help her, he advised her to go to another small hotel close by, where she could use her debit card. She became upset and he had to respond firmly to deal with the difficult situation. Apparently, she regarded not accepting credit/debit cards as bad customer service. Mary was very surprised to find that she had left the guest house upon her returned.

Mignon has operated for more then 40 Years without ever having accepted credit cards. They do accept travelers cheques and of course, cash. Guests who have neither can access the ATM machine, which is a very short walk away from the property. The hotel offers basic, clean and safe European Style accommodations in an convenient downtown location. It is very close to many good restaurants, a variety of shops and entertainment. Guests can use the common area where food can be prepared, cooked, stored and enjoyed on the small porch area where there is a table and chairs. Wifi is free and there are new TV's in all the rooms. Bottled water is free. All rooms are fully air conditioned and fan's are available if preferred.

Steve & Mary's reputation as owners/operators of their establishment is well known locally and internationally. The many reviews on the internet, in traveler information books and on this site all speak for themselves. They continue to welcome guests from around the world.
