I live in Texas and don't get the chance to travel, much less stay in a hotel or motel. However, the opportunity presented itself to meet up with a friend for a little R&R. And of all places I got to cross state lines and roll into Lake Charles, La. and get a sample of that La. hospitality. I actually made good time, with not so bad traffic and really nice weather. I had reserved a king size, non-smoking room with a jetted jacuzzi type tub. Upon arriving early I was greeted with a smile and friendly chatter. I was pleasantly surprised to be given the room key before the normal 3 o'clock check-in time. However, as I got to the room I attempted to open the door as shown on the key but the door wouldn't open. Thankfully a young lady was cleaning a room a few doors down and didn't hesitate to help me. She let me in with a pass key and even brought a new working key back to me. All done with a smile and we laughed about it. The room was clean and neat. There was a smell in the room but when I saw they were renovating some rooms so that was where the smell was coming from. The bed was comfortable, the ac worked great, great water pressure as well as hot water. Very enjoyable stay and if I get the chance to go back to La. the Super 8 by Wyndham will probably be seeing me again. Thank you to all the staff for making my trip less stressful. Keep up the good work.
