This hotel delivers a decent experience on par with its value pricing: it's a little run down and the walls are a little thin, but the staff were very helpful and the beds were clean and comfortable.
Front desk was especially friendly. Room was very clean and looked recently renovated. TV had a ton of cable channels kind of like what you have at home. Only negative I can think of is water pressure is a bit weak. They offer complimentary hot breakfast, but I didn’t make it each morning. Keep up the nice work.
The room was clean and comfortable. There were no towels, extra toilet paper or Kleenex in the room. Had to go to front desk for these items. Bath items were sample size. Breakfast had limited items. Waffles were good. Went downstairs at 7:30 a.m. and there were not a lot of options available.
Great location right off of frontage rd. Easy access to all of the plantations. Hotel was quite, beds were comfortable and staff were friendly. Lots of petri chemical plants along the Mississippi. Lots of petro workers stay there and we always felt safe. Breakfast was the biggest disappointment. Continental at best with cold powdered eggs and cold sausage that was microwaved. Not many restaurants near by. Would stay here again for the convenience, but would skip the breakfast.
Needs updating. Hotel had unpleasant odor. Trash (candy wrapers and empty coffee creamer containers) littered throughout hallway to our room. No cups or glasses in room.
There was no food at the breakfast and the breakfast area was absolutely in disarray - it looked like a bomb went off. When we talked to reception she cleaned one table and didn’t bother to contact anyone about there being no food, coffee, or juice. Our toilet and shower were broken, deadbolt did not work, was super noisy all night and smelt strongly of pot. Do not recommend.
