Joseph, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

The parking lot had hose filled in with big rocks and dangerous to walk through the parking lot we requested a downstairs room and when we arrived, we were towed all they had was upstairs thank God they were able to find it downstairs, cause we would not be able to stay there if not, found the room look like it was still under construction the beds we're terrible if somebody tried to open the door of the room two times while we were in the room, we reported it to the front desk and told him that could be very dangerous and the concern just didn't seem like it was no big deal. I just hope whoever's doing that doesn't get shot. I believe the motel was still under construction and open too soon. The breakfast if you call at breakfast was terrible. I just seen for the money we put out we just didn't get what we paid for. Hope they get their stuff together for the future because I had a chance with me to repeat staying in there, but not now

6/10 Good

The room's carpet was not vacuumed. There were little white flakes all over the place. The maid did not clean the room on the second day.
Albert, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

The plaques of all the plantations in the main building was very nice touch, as well as the hot breakfast was amazing compared to most hotels where it's just cold. Seems like the new management is making steps in The right direction And we look forward to returning and seeing improvements

4/10 Fair

Room felt dirty. Protruding metal bed frame that caused injury to lower leg
Sarah, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

The hotel room was less than expected when it came to any kind of comfort. The service was extremely rude, no cable, our room smelled of weed smoke which we complained of and they did not offer to move us. My husband got extremely nauseous and still nothing was done. My grandson and kids were told they couldn’t swim and locked the pool area 2 hours before it was supposed to regardless of it being 83 degrees outside. Do NOT STAY HERE!
Jeremy, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Property is dated! Location is good but hotel needs some attention!
james, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The staff is very friendly, however the property is old and in need of repairs/remodeling.
Jade, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Little pricey for the fact it could use some paint and a little cleaner. Was run down or just an older hotel that needs so tlc.
Kathy, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

This place is nasty,everything in the room is broken. My wife had to clean the room for us just to stay in it. I wouldnt recommend this place to anyone

2/10 Poor

Very Disappointed

I would not recommend a dog to stay there
Yolanda, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

I've stayed at this property several times and plan to stay there again. The staff is always friendly, the hotel is always clean. The only problem that I had is that there is a sign, both on the registration desk and in the room, that says if you want the room serviced just let them know before noon. I told the front desk around 8:00 AM that we anted our room serviced and that request was comepletely ignored.
2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Didn't stay and forfeited 2 nights money as I did not feel safe, conditions were poor and pictures submitted on Expedia were false advertising. THATS ALL I Can say. Don't stay there.
David, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Terrible hotel

Hotel was filthy dirty, bed sheets were used and dirty . Tv did not work . A large rat was outside the room.
Annette, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

The property was very run down. The parking lot and road going in was terrible. We went to have breakfast the next morning and was told they ran out of food. Our tv didn’t work and the air conditioner barely worked. Very disappointed.
Judith, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

My room was infested with gnats!!! I was moved to another room that had gnats but not as many. No carts with all my stuff was terrible!!!!!! Staff was nice and trued to help, but they were hardly at the counter to offer assistance. Someone should be at the front at all times. I will never stay here again!!!! No discount was even given for the infestation of gnats. I had to make my own insect repellent with apple cider vinegar which was also frustrating and uncalled for!!! The mades didn't clean the room bc it had someone's shirt in the room and food in the fridge just nasty and lazy of them!!!!
Werlean, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

Hotel is currently being remodeled. Television reception was fuzzy and the air conditioner didn’t work correctly so the room was warmer than it should have been. There was a group of guys playing rap music and drinking beer each night I was there. No exit signs or hallways were lit and this isn’t a place for a woman Travelling alone to stay. They are also overcharging for the rooms as there was dead insects on the curtains and the room wasn’t very clean.
Patrick, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

The staff were friendly but the motel is fatigued. The breakfast was good the first morning but declined every day after that. Curious that the St. Francisville police were present each evening. Would I stay here again, probably as the price is good and the folks are nice. But I'd at least know more about what I was gettting ahead of time. I wouldn't shy away from it but don't expect a squeeky clean place.
