Reviews and Ratings
Upon arrival, I noticed a slight unpleasant odor in the room, giving it a chemically smell which was unexpected. The room appeared not very clean and had a lingering mildew scent that was quite unpleasant. However, the staff went above and beyond to assist with any needs, even offering help with early checkout. The location, though not fully developed like other parts of Lake Charles, is reasonably priced for those seeking a clean and basic stay. The dining selection was good overall, especially the guava jam, but some breakfast items were missing. Despite these drawbacks, the facilities were quite satisfactory, making the stay comfortable and enjoyable.
I found the hotel to be a mixed experience. While the room was extremely comfortable, unfortunately, it wasn't available at the time of check-in. Additionally, the room itself was not very clean and had a strong chemical smell, along with bugs in the dilapidated bathroom.
My stay at the hotel was overall pleasant. The rooms were super clean, although we could hear other guests in the hallway and through the walls. The staff was accommodating when we had a room issue, but it was a bit inconvenient to keep changing rooms.
