I travel weekly through out Louisiana. I have never stayed at this location but the price was good so I thought I would try. Bed was comfortable, good size fridge, water hot, room was clean. Needs a coffee pot. I bring my own travel kuerig but others would defiently want coffee. Its close to town center so eats and stores are a breeze if you need something. I would stay again.

Liked: Staff & service
The property was what I expected from reading previous reviews. Nothing fancy and jut about right for someone passing through and needing a roof and a bed. I found both of those things at this property. Parking was pretty tight and limited. There were regular trains passing throughout the night. Some actually shook the structure. I was tired, so they didn't keep me awake. Overall an OK place to stay the night.
