Excellent property. Front desk reception welcoming. Room amazing and highly tasteful. Excellent complimentary coffee set out at 5:00 am. Parking was a hassle at the time of our evening arrival but we were fortunate to find a spot. Breakfast was not included at our rate. We had a wonderful down home dinner at Buster’s 5 minute walk down the street. Great ambience, delicious and reasonably priced. Would definitely return to the hotel but spend a few days in this part of Louisiana!

Cutest hotel. Not your normal chain hotel. Beautiful foyer and side rooms, pretty outdoor area and cute bathrooms. Clean, comfy and appealing. Staff is friendly and helpful, bar service is quick and everyone attentive. Room was normal hotel size but had a exposed brick wall which was nice. Bathroom large with a window. Bed was comfortable. Only negative was the coffee pot in room- didn’t work as it should. But got coffee in the bar area. Would definitely stay here again. The hotel and people make you feel as special.
