This property would have potential if they painted the rooms and replaced the stained chairs. The location was great, it was within a bus station.

6/10 Good

Quiet, comfortable & clean

The staff was friendly. The room was clean & the bed was fairly comfortable. The place is a little run down, but you can tell they are trying to renovate it. It was a quiet weekend considering the motel is next to a busy expressway. The room felt a little damp for some reason.

10/10 Exceptional

Its an older property, however, it is clean. The people are nice
John, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

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.
Andrew, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

Properly is very old and while kept together, it was obvious that it was done so with "paint and a promise". The ceiling tiles in the room appeared to be falling in and were bowed in. The ironing board was soaking wet from the leaking iron left on it. The bed was suspect, but fortunately, the mattress was inside of a plastic case. We literally slept on top of the covers. The front desk staff were friendly and responded well to a operational issue (TV remote control) and was the highlight of the stay. All in all, it barely met the 3-star rating it had before arrival. It DID meet the low-cost criteria set before making the reservation.

Cameron, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

The staff was quite friendly checking in and out. Gave me some nice ideas on places to go/things to do. The room itself was a bit daunting. Needs updates and better up keep for sure. My room never got serviced the 4 days I was there. This was a last minute trip...was grateful to get a room but I wouldn't return.

Great little hotel to stay in the rooms were clean close to down town New Orleans. The staff is amazing Candy the front desk attendant was so helpfull kind and friendly made my stay very enjoyable. Its great to have such awesome staff to make you feel welcome to the area!! Had really good conversation with her.

6/10 Good

Staff was very nice but the bathroom had a bunch of nats and holes in the walls. There was glue dripping down the door and had a old humid smell entering the room.
Michelle, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

It was good. It was close to a lot of places I needed to go to. There was a lot of nice restaurants around. The bad thing was that it was a little dirty, didn’t have a vent in the bathroom, and the door wasn’t properly placed which allowed a lot of noise into the room.
