Not the best experience and expensive

For the price, the rooms were not the cleanest, were very old and the beds were not comfortable. We were woken up by house keeping multiple times asking when we were checking out after our first night when we booked for two nights. Went to front desk and they also did not show our second night. We had to show our hotels.com booking to prove we paid for 2 nights. We were placed at the back of the property away from all amenities when the hotel was almost empty. No vending machines. Not the best experience would not recommend especially for the price. Felt more like a $89/nightly motel vs $150+ nightly rate.

Wish i could have gotten my money back

Its on an old plantation. They dont provide more than 3 sets of towels regardless of how many guests and charge you if you need more. They have a sign that says they encourage you to reuse your towels everyday. The lamps were dusty. The bathtub mat had mildew. The shower curtain had mildew. I wish we could have left but the hurricane was in effect.
