We dinner and breakfast. The dinner was fine. Big portions and tasty.

But breakfast, that was a different story. The charged $15 for a buffet that wasn’t as good as free ones in hotels by the interstate. French toast was dry & hard. Oatmeal was cold. I saw a group walk in, look over the buffet and leave.

Jambalaya was great. Personable service. Family style atmosphere. Surprised afterwards when friends claimed it has a so-so reputation.

Derik was amazing. Reasonable prices for a hotel and Derik the bartender was also able to give me insight on some awesome antique places in the area.

The food was cold and the beer was warm. Everything at the bar was dirty or wet. The bartender didn't bother to wipe the bar after the people who were there before us and put the check on the wet bar to be signed. Zero attention to detail. They should not be permitted to sell Guinness because they don't know how to properly pour it. The coleslaw was dark and slimy. When we brought it to the bartender's attention, he took it in the back. He came out and told us that, "yes, the food has degraded, but not to the point where it will make you sick!" Sure, I trust that.

Our waitress was so nice, unfortunately I forgot her name. The design of this place is interesting, I liked it. The food was about average for a hotel restaurant in this area. The table got there squeaky cheese appetizer, so good. I had the Mac and cheese with shredded pork. Huge serving! I also tried the mermaid mimosa which was a nice treat. We arrived for an early dinner, no wait time, place was pretty empty.

Rude female bartender and manager. Prices on menu were a dollar less than reflected on the bill.

The brisket was delicious. And the turkey sandwich was just a tad below delicious, but still good. I would've given it 5 stars if the host didn't give an attitude when we had more people trickling into the restaurant. See my son's soccer team was in the middle of 2 tournament soccer games, so we weren't sure of our party size. And they did keep coming in so combining tables ruffled the host's feathers and tried to limit us. The waitress was fantastic however.
