    It was really close to everything

    This place was horrible. There were stains and cigarette burnt in the furniture holes in the wall stains on the wall. The air conditioning was not even on when we first arrived. The room is extremely hot. The restroom was dirty. The toilet seat was broken. There were roaches in the room. The beds are not double beds are queen size beds. They are a lot smaller there was a horrible smell. There were links and holes in the ceilings. The front desk staff acted as if this was not a big deal. We immediately had to leave and get our money back. This was a horrible experience. There are a large rats outside. This is a very shady hotel. I would never recommend anyone to go here.

    I had I had checked out the very next day early in the morning very nasty hotel checked out at 7am paid for 4days did not receive a refund the other 3days and went to the Marriott Courtyard check out there didn't even receive my deposit from the 4days I stay with them. But may God bless them who ever kept my hard working money. I will never ever deal with Expedia again. It's not good dealing with a third party thank you

    It wasn't a bad place. Kind of what you would expect for the area. Staff was very friendly.

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    The only problem I have is that there were no towels in the room. I did not need to take a shower as I had showered before I got there, but it was unhelpful that I couldn’t use.

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    When we first arrived, we were told that we already checked in hours before our reservations was made. First, there was no record of our reservation… then after looking it up by number they said we were already checked into a room at 1:30pm… we didn’t even book the room until 7pm. Computer issue, maybe? We get a room on the first floor, but it was literally crawling with bugs … we kill three roaches before putting down our bags. Large spiders were in the window. We left them there hoping they would eat the bugs. I know bugs exist in the south and being on the first floor just means we are closer to them… that’s why I didn’t make a huge issue out of it. Rooms were full, and you get what you pay for. At least we had a place to lay our heads for the night.

    The staff when I checked was very nice! However after my on time check I asked if I could wait in the lobby for my uber and the gentleman behind the counter said that he is about to lock up the lobby any leave. So I couldn’t wait I had to wait I had to wait outside with luggage and all I could deal with the room with the price. Went to Walgreens and freshened up the place. But not being able to wait in the lobby after check out was not okay. And it got them the very low rating!

    Easy to book

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    There was a live roach on the bed, visible stains on the bedding, hair left on the bed, and the overall cleanliness of the room was unacceptable. I did not feel safe or comfortable sleeping there, and these conditions fell far below any reasonable standard for a paying guest. I was forced to make other accommodations because the room was not sanitary or fit for occupancy, causing unnecessary stress and additional expenses during what should have been an enjoyable trip. I was told I will get a refund back for the unused nights, and now the property doesn’t want to respond and honor that once I checked out. I am requesting appropriate compensation for this unacceptable experience and hope this matter is taken seriously so that future guests are not subjected to similar conditions.

    If I had to stay there again I would. The hotel was inexpensive and it felt safe being there.

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    A true budget hotel! This place has all the most important parts: a strong cold AC, comfy bed, a working tv, and close to NOLA. After looking around the room, it is clean enough for my liking (of course more spot cleaning could be done) and I can say that I did not find any bugs of any sort. The front staff was EXTREMELY NICE, I wish I would have caught the name of the gentlemen that checked me in (I believe one was the boss and one was new). My only warning would be that I felt slightly nervous of the area and surrounding. Just be on high alert for your safety (but that’s anywhere)!

  • Engine customer May 2026

    This motel is horrible and I would not recommend anyone stay here. They gave us a dirty room at first, one of the beds looked like someone had just gotten out of it. Then the second room was barely cleaned. There were cigarette burns in the sheets. We were too afraid to sleep under the covers. And the final straw was the roach my husband had to kill before we left. We slept with the lights on, booked a better hotel at 4 am, paid EXTRA for the early check-in at Holiday Inn and didn't even feel normal again until we left and showered at the clean hotel. The pictures of this place are doctored. The entire property should be condemned, it's dirty and unsafe, and does not deserve to be on this site.
