We did not expect to be able to check in several hours early, but our room was just about ready, which we were so glad of! The room was exquisitely clean and the A/C was magically cool. I enjoyed the porch swing, the poolside beer, and the attentive service over my delicious breakfast the next morning. The complimentary bottle of Marie Sharp's hot sauce was a wonderful touch!
