4.0 Mediocre
Pros:Location to highway was good. Cracker barrel directly behind hotel.
Cons:We were looking for a last minute rest stop on a road trip to NOLA. Booked this on kayak due to cheap price. I was not expecting much for the money, but was quite surprised how run down the place was. Rooms were dirty, furniture broken, bathroom door had a huge hole which was patched. Said door also wouldn't fully close or lock. Shower was badly stained. Could go on.... Suggest spending $10-15 more and staying elsewhere. Just my two cents.
A
6.0 Okay
Pros:The location was convenient and the BBQ joint next door was quite good.
Cons:Carpets were horrendous. Sheets were very old. Towels were old and yellowed. No juice, tea, or pastries at breakfast. Just stale cereal and a waffle iron.
