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.

Basic but adequate

For the price, this was a decent place. Beautiful grounds. Check-in given keys & map to the Turner Lodge. Should have been told about pool, church & service, dining facility, vending location, museum, any other amenities. No coffee in room, fridge was tiny w/ no freezer at all, mattress reasonably comfortable, very small TV. Worst thing was lack of insulation in building. We heard toilets flushing & sliding glass doors opening. Beautiful view from balcony & peaceful grounds. Convenient drive to town. Friendly staff, but they need to be trained to inform guests of what's available or give out a leaflet with info.

When I pulled up to this area, I was surprised it is a religious retreat area. I am fairly religious so no worries there -- I enjoyed the chimes on the hour and half hour and periodic hymns played by the bells -- but I did wonder if I went to the right place. But wowza! The front desk was terrific and, when I had an issue with the room in the middle of the night, I received swift and wonderful assistance. Great people, BEAUTIFUL campus to walk, and peaceful so one can relax and then hit the crowds of the beaches and shopping area for a nice balance. I will be going back!
