Good motel. Does not compare to a hotel though.

Their high rating should not be compared against a hotel’s high rating. This is a good motel for quick business but not for a family trip. Room had an extremely strong smell of smoke. The staff was friendly and attentive but this is definitely not where you’d want your family/kids to stay. Perfectly fine for business travel or quick travel stop for a night. Decently clean. Well lit at night but “crowd” did not give you the safest feeling. It is BR after all. Felt happy that they had an armed security guard there though. He was very kind.

Tried this motel when my usual place was booked and others were expensive for LSU homecoming. Family run, they are friendly and seem to take pride in the property. Just one driveway in and out that goes by the front office, so felt secure. Arrived back from football game after midnight and was happy to see it well-lit, with a bright light above each door. Room furniture is dated but the bed and pillows were very comfortable. Very clean room. Only insect I saw was a harmless caterpillar in the bathroom. Had a fridge and microwave and good tv. After leaving my room, I saw housekeeping immediately enter and remove all my bedding, so can confirm it gets washed between guests. Overall, not fancy by any stretch, but had everything I needed at a very good price.

Genuinely a nice place to stay, especially for the price point. Nothing major to complain about. People leave you alone. If you get a room with a kitchenette, they are super handy. Especially, to keep leftovers or to store groceries. The internet is decent. Overall a 8/10. There was a smell but I think that is from the cleaners they use or that previous tenants have smoked and that is hard to clean/get out of the walls.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Saturday i ask the maid for some clean towels. She left the the female owner. Came back to the room and close the door no clean towels. Sunday check out was at eleven o'clock. 10:10 the female owner didn't knock open the door told me it was check out. I told her it wasn't eleven plus i was waiting on my car to come. And it was 10:16 a.m. and she took the key. Its wasn't nice at all. Plus i made my reservation it to paid when i made there Friday. They had already changed Friday on my card before i got there. Then i had two paid the second day before i got the key it was $97 and some changes but gave 100.00 and never got back the 2.80. Will never go back there again. Was going to make reservation for September while i was there but treatment no way.

This was the worymotel I have ever stayed in my entire life. I have never seen a motel without coat hangers and this was the case here. Never ever will stay in such a terrible place. You should have warned me. I find your system to be guilty more than the motel.

Worst experience

This was one of the worst experiences I've ever had at a motel I stay in motels close to 300 days a year because I travel for work. The lights in the bathroom didn't work and as I was showering the shower curtain rod fell off and I had to catch it. I laid down to go to sleep and people started barbecuing and partying in the parking lot outside my door. I called the office five times from 10 to 3 in the morning trying to get help in quieting them down. The next morning when I spoke to the manager about the problem he called me a liar and told me none of that happened wow.
