When I walked in to check in I was not welcomed. The lady behind the desk didn’t greet me or smile at me. She shuffled around at the desk for a minute and then looked at me and said “drivers liscence.” And held out her hand. I got checked in but it wasn’t welcoming at all. When we stepped into our room it smelled horrible. The entire carpeted area between the air conditioner at the window and our bed was wet. It was disgusting. In the morning, there was no one at the desk to report the issue to. The condition of the room made it hard to sleep well and we are exhausted from not getting a good nights sleep and being grossed out by the smell and the room’s condition. The breakfast was the only decent piece of our stay. It had good variety and the breakfast area was nice. We will not be staying here again and would not recommend this hotel to any friends or family.

Noisy N word using Upstairs Neighbors

The people above us did not respect quiet hours. I woke up to them shouting the N word at 4am. They were stomping all over and slamming doors at 4am. I was just trying to get some sleep during the quiet hours. The mattress was so uncomfortable it was the worst night of sleep in my life.

Nice motel for a rest along the road.

We stayed twice. Once on the way to NOLA, once on the way back. It was affordable, clean, quiet, and comfortable. The free breakfast was quite good, but there are plenty of places to eat around if one wants something different. If I have one complaint, it would be that, on our second stay, the bathroom door didn't quite latch. Not a huge deal for a couple, but might be off putting for some. Additionally, also on the second stay, there was a cockroach in our room. I believe it probably came in from the outside, because our main door, like the bathroom door, didn't quite fit right and was a bit gappy (it did lock, though) and there was a trash can a few feet from our door.

It was an overnight stay, but the service was nice and the hotel was quiet. It is a little older and some things in the room were either missing, hanging off, or slightly dirty. The bed wasn’t the best, but again, it was a one night stay. There was breakfast and hot coffee in the lobby. Also, they have a pool. For what it was and the cost, it’s okay

There is a musty smell. Cob webs in the lamps by the bed. Not all outlets work. I use medical equipment at night. The unit would not stay on but about 1-1 1/2 hrs at a time. I had to get up and try to find another outlet to use the equipment. I got no sleep because of this. Tried to make coffee in our room and the same thing happened. Started making coffee using their coffee machine they provide but it quit midway through. The room would not cool down because the air conditioning unit would not stay on long enough. It kicked on and off all night but never cooled the room.

We just needed a clean, comfortable place to sleep on our 13 hour trip. This was perfect! Room was clean. Very cool AC. Breakfast was okay. Typical hotel breakfast, but it did the trick to get us started. Easy location right off the highway. Only issue was check in…desk employee had trouble finding our reservation but he was very patient and kept looking and found it. Didn’t take long so this is not a complaint…just FYI…booked through Expedia. Just keep all information with confirmations. Great stay. Would recommend!

Filthy

Staff was friendly, but the room was FILTHY and wasn’t cleaned before or between our stay. After my husband showered, he had to clean his feet because the tile was disgusting. The pool was also super cloudy, so we didn’t even bother. The door handle was broken like it was broken into. While it was cheap and we weren’t expecting perfection, we were hoping it was at least CLEAN.
