From the moment we arrived we were treated very special. The service and hospitality of every single employee was impeccable. The food options and bar service was excellent.

The perfect hotel!

This hotel is stunning!! I was there with my daughter and daughter-in-love and it was perfect for our girl’s trip! La Patisserie was so convenient for morning coffee and pastries. Camellias is a bougie pink cocktail bar that also serves afternoon tea! We enjoyed both of these on site treasures. The rooms are gorgeous, very quiet and comfortable! Highly recommend!

We had 3 rooms, 2 of the 3 had no AC, after a terrible night they “fixed” them. For what this place cost, throttling the ac units should not be a thing.

Animals in the bar where there is food and drink.

While having a couple of relaxing drinks sitting downstairs in Gabrielle's a woman sitting at the bar had a dog with her that starting barking loudly every time someone walked by. It was on a leash but free to roam the length of the leash getting under other customer's bar stools. It didn't sit well with us and several other customers. Your manager did talk to her about it but I think your policy needs to change. I don't care for animals at all in hotels or restaurants. I know you're pet friendly but you need to draw the line such that no animals are allowed anywhere where there is food or drink. I won't be staying at the Hotel Bennett until there are changes made. Thanks, John

Luxurious hotel oozing southern comfort. Loved this hotel. One of the best hotels I’ve ever stayed at. I just wish the hotel was a bit more environmentally conscious- way too much single use plastic and no recycling in the room.
