It felt like a safe room, though when we walked in it smelled heavily of cigarettes. Also, there was a diaper under one of the beds. It was a little gross but not the worst hotel I've ever stayed at for the price it was. The staff were very sweet and nice, helped with where to go for food and events happening. Free coffee in the lobby :)

Everything was great but we did have a problem with the Gretna police stalking every vehicle coming out the parking lot they really harass families that’s just going out to get a bite to eat. Internal affairs will know about this issue. Other then that it was a great stay.
