We stayed here for one night while traveling from Houston to New Orleans. The property itself was very clean, both inside and outside, which made our stay comfortable. The only downside was the front desk customer service, which could have been more welcoming. Overall, it was fine for a short stop.

The air conditioner was having trouble cooling. It was a bit on the warm side for me. The room was clean and cute. The property manager was friendly. I would stay there again. We stayed one night on our way to Florida and needed a place to sleep. The price is reasonable. No connecting room, which was something we needed. Overall, it’s good.

We’ve stayed here a few times. The property definitely needs some updating. The sink was cracked and multiple issues with walls with botched fixes. But we didn’t care we just needed a place to sleep and shower for our stay.

The front desk was very accommodating. There is no coffee pot in the room and breakfast doesn't start until 7am so I missed out due to having to leave to go to work. I chose the hotel based off of the price plus the fact they served breakfast. The staff more than made up for my disappointment in hospitality.

The room is extremely out dated. The bathroom has mold in the ceiling, the tub looked like a mat had been ripped up, there was hair in the tub and it didn’t look clean. I laid down a towel in the tub to not step on the tub bottom. The sink was dirty in the bathtub was dirty. The furniture in the room is old and worn badly. The room also had an Oder to it. I do not recommend at all. Luckily for us we only needed a place to rest for the night and for the price…. You get what you pay for. It was so bad I brought my own towels in the room.
