Towne hotel is located in an older, historic building in downtown Nassau. Its located only a block off of Bay Street, and is in easy walking distance of LOTS of local souvenir shopping and sights (as well as a couple of bodega-type stores. Yes, the building is old (its historic, after all) and the decor is somewhat dated. Even so, it's a very unique space full of lots of character and is loaded with lots of original (local?) artwork throughout public spaces and the rooms. There is also a (currently) 58 year old blue macaw, Max (who may or may not choose to be temperamental).
