Love it

The hotel and the grounds are beautiful. We arrived late to check in due to our flights being delayed and were great at 12:30 am as if it were 12:30 pm. The room was really large and updated and the outside ground area was a great way to cool off a bit in the evening. The pub and restaurant were both delicious and so not pass up the beignets.

Check-in staff was young and seemed confused. Said my credit card didn't go thru, despite my room being pre-paid. She also didn't recognize my VIP status and was actually going to downgrade the room, until I showed her the VIP perks for this stay. I did ultimately get an upgraded room, which was very nice. The restaurant/bar staff were not attentive and took close to 30 minutes to get any sort of acknowledgment, a menu or any service. No complaints about the hotel itself, but the staff seemed a bit lacking this trip.

The bed sheets felt old and itchy. The lobby allowed a family birthday party! It was loud and disrespectful. Lack of management to handle situation. Front Desk didn’t know what to do, she allowed it.
