The sheets were dirty. The chair was stained. I had a large group of four rooms. Two were so cold the guests slept fully dressed. One had a gap between the door and the frame, so all the cold air and noise came in. Lots of questionable characters hanging around.

Came down to Louisiana two days before our cruise and this location was very convenient being just 8 minutes from the cruise terminal. Room was clean and we had an easy check-in. Only thing I disliked is there is no coffee Maker in the rooms you have to walk across the parking lot to the main lobby entrance. That was a minor inconvenience though.

Worst Motel Ever

This is the worst motel I have ever stayed at. We thankfully only booked it for one night because we booked the wrong dates for our actual hotel that we originally booked. It was dirty, the outlets didn't work, we didn't even want to shower in the bathroom because it was so gross, and the place could have been painted and patched better by a third grader! Never seen anything like it. The walls were so thin I could hear everyone talking in their rooms and outside as well!
