False advertising
Everything was great except next to no breakfast. Don’t advertise full hot breakfast and at 7:30 am there is absolutely nothing to eat except for 3 bagels

I felt that this location was upholding the traditional excellence of Best Western properties. IF I were to travel through Lake Charles again I'd put this motel as a "first choice" of places to book. The ONLY down-side (for me) was the breakfast choices. The breakfast was well prepared but just had limited choices. EVERY staff member we encountered was friendly and courteous.

The stay at the hotel was o.k..The only screwup was with Expedia. I had booked for 10/25-27, checking out on the 28th.Got a call from the desk as to my intentions with the room on the evening of the 27th because Expedia had booked me for only two days. Luckily my room was still available so I could book it Will know next time to call and confirm even tho Expedia stated that that was not necessary
