The rooms had exterior doors and our door was broken, it was almost unable to lock and when shut there was a 1/2 inch gap on 3 sides!. The room had bare outlets, non working lighting, broken remote for TV . I was advised that if I wanted another room, it would be where they were painting. We didn't stay our 2nd night.

I arrived at the hotel a little after midnight to a sign on the door saying to call the night manager. I got a busy tone when I called and even a rep from the national number couldn't get a hold of anyone. In the end, I waited 30 minutes before being told there wasn't anything they could do and I haf to book a second hotel. Your manager refused to provide me a refund. Horrible customer service!

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
