Great Thicket National Wildlife Refuge

The hotel was a typical beach property - everything always felt damp and it should be mentioned that you are expected to walk up flights of stairs…we were told the elevator was old and slow. Bathrooms are very small and the restaurant smells badly. There are old fashioned AC units in each room. The location is ideal however which is probably what justifies the outrageous nightly price we paid for an August stay.

We arrived late at night after a long day's drive and we're put in a room on the top floor. At 8:40am, we were awoken by VERY LOUD drilling noises directly above our heads. These noises continued for over an hour, making it impossible to sleep. We contacted the front desk and we're told they were repairing the roof and there were no other rooms available. Had we been informed that this would happen, we would not have stayed elsewhere. We asked to speak to the manager, but he wasn't in. We were told that he would call us later that day, but he never did.
