I don’t often leave a review and I hate to leave a 10 out of 10 review but this property deserves it. It is a real gem in a small town in south Louisiana. Staff were very friendly and helpful room was quite comfortable. Parking was easy which was important because I was pulling a boat trailer. The hotel has an adjacent restaurant which was closed on Sunday sadly but was open for lunch on Monday. Never had a better Poboy. Definitely on my list for a revisit when I am in the area.

The staff was exceptionally kind and patient with me while I was being both picky (wanted to change my room because the air conditioner was noisy) and when I was just stupid (locked myself out of my room...). In both cases she was immediately helpful and cheerful - no questions asked. So nice to have service like this nowadays.
