Very basic room with rock hard beds - barely slept even with blankets on the mattress to try to soften it. Restaurant area was nice as was the food, with good service. Cheap nasty smelling liquid hand soap in the bathrooms.

Great spot

What a great little spot, not flash, but beds were extremely comfortable, the meals were beautiful, and Cooper was an awesome waiter. Great wine too. MUST see Port Arthur.
