6/10 Good

OK for Quick Over-nighter w/ VERY LOW Expectations
Desk personnel were very good. Room had a couple issues with broken items, for example the toilet paper holder, but was clean and comfortable. Breakfast advertised, but I went by at 6:10am and there was cold cereal, a coffee machine, really old pump creamer containers (creamer separated or overly thick), and a juice machine.

4/10 Fair

Staff was nice, cleaned my room daily, but shower was disgusting the water had rotted out the metal door frame and allows water to go into living space behind the wall. Room shouldnt be rented it needs to be fixed whole wall is open and rotting mold and whatever else inside it. Only stayed due to no refund policy 2 nights for work.

2/10 Poor

Worst Decision You Can Make.
The property was nasty. Disgusting the sheets were horrible. They say they have breakfast, but do not have breakfast. They tell you to get cereal with no milk. The staffs attitude is not customer friendly. The guy threatened to call the police on me even after I proceeded to show him I had the money for my room.

Dewond, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Besides the value of the room which was fair for the condition it was in and a few little critters (roaches) it could of been worse... I guess it's true when they say , "you get what you pay for huh?!" Lol.
Ernesto, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

My stay was terrible, my card was double charged, the room was hot, people making noise all night long, dogs barking even thou they said no dogs allowed. Kids running around late and banging on doors couldn't sleep due to all the noise late into the night and early morning

2/10 Poor

Rented 6 rooms for a church youth trip to a Conference held in Lake Charles. Parking lot and lower level rooms became an open air drug market after dark. 2 prostitutes posted by front gate. O towels. Marijuana smoke everywhere. The one redeeming quality was the front desk staff. Lawanna was sweet. One of our kids left a backpack and $1000 ipad in the room. She called us and held them at the front desk for us. The young Nigerian lady who checked us in was sweet and friendly. If you stay here though, pack heat and watch some Active Self Protection youtube videos first and enjoy the contact high.

4/10 Fair

When trying to rent a room at the property the cost of the room was more than it was online. The front desk lady said in order to get a lower rate I had reserved the room online, which I did standing in the lobby. We get to our room and unpack our vehicle. When walking into the bathroom there was black mold everywhere, even hanging from the ceiling. We requested a different room. They gave us the one right next to the one with black mold. During the stay our room key deactivated twice. We requested extra pillows from the front office and were told that wasn’t possible. Other than the old hotel smell the room seemed to be clean, so we decided to stay. However, when we woke up the next morning there were roaches in the bathroom.
