Arrived at hotel to check in. Property was closed for remodeling. Took my non-refundable payment for the stay even though they knew the hotel would be closed. Did not notify me there would be no room. Did not refund my payment. Booked me into a different hotel in a room that cost substantially less per night and pocketed the difference. Absolutely horrid service.

Roaches in the room

Found multiple roaches crawling around in our room. We took them down in a wad of toilet paper to the front desk, and they handed us a can of Raid. When we checked out we were told there would be compensation from hotels.com for the multiple days of finding roaches in our things but still haven't received any communication.

Happy 4th

We had a great time! Spent the 4th of July here. It was nice to not have to worry about traffic and beach parking! Watched the boat races from our balcony. 5 minute walk to St Armands. Complimentary cold bottled water was nice. Hotel staff was very nice, everyone we encountered was professional and helpful. We would stay here again and will recommend to our out of state family!

Dirty, bugs (cockroaches), old, need repairs, water smelled like sewage, hallways stunk (musky), staff was not engaged in their job, breakfast was horrible. Rooms were small. Don’t recommend at all. Not worth the money. Don’t make the same mistake I did.
