Don’t pick a hotel close to an In-n-out

Worse parking situation ever. And there is a In and Out Burger RIGHT next to one end, with the drive through letting out into the only available parking area. So the slobs get their food park in the hotel spots, then dump their trash in the parking lot. Not to mention the homeless encampment right next to where the cars park ( even more trash). The room was good, but make sure they don’t give you one on the first floor next to the parking lot, burger slobs partying outside your window.

I’m a huge fan and customer of Hilton Brands, especially Hampton Inn Hotels. Whenever I travel, I intentionally look for Hampton Inn accommodations. The Hampton Inn El Cajun did not meet the experienced standards or expectations of Hampton Inn. 1. The first room we were assigned was not properly cleaned (bathroom floor was not mopped), and the heat did not work. 2. We were moved to another room on day two, The room was clean, and the heat did work, BUT, we had to call the desk a couple of times because of the excessive noise coming from the room above us, The breakfast was excellent each day, the staff and service amazing, and I am pleased with the overall experience in g my stay
