Holiday Inn Shreveport Downtown

Reviewer: Not provided on Wed 13 Aug 2008 rated 8 out of 10.

Hotel is older from the outside, but rooms have been updated and are clean. Very nice on the inside. Pool area is nice, but not very large. Short distance from gaming boats, Sam's Town & El Dorado, but not within walking distance. Cabs are $5 one way. Train tracks are next to the hotel and the train comes through all night.

Positives: Very convenient. Nice room. Clean.

Negatives: Very slow elevators. Train tracks nearby.

The hotel was in a good location, near the freeway. I had to change rooms because the room they gave stunk so bad. They were very courteous about letting me change, no questions asked. The room that we did end up staying in was allot smaller than the first room. It was supposed to have a River view, and did not. Also, their were trains running at all hours of the day that kept us up at night. And, our room stunk too, just not as bad as the first one. Plus, the bathroom was small.

Positives: It was in close proximity to the freeway.

Negatives: The rooms stunk and the River view we were supposed to get overlooked railroad tracks. The trains ran all hours of the day, even the early morning.

Not ever going to stay in that hotel again. Hotel was in a great location being right on the river and 5 min drive from boardwalk but poor and almost depressing view. Room was not what I expected for the price, Ive stayed in rooms that cost 1/3 of that one and was twice the room. Entire 4th floor needs refurbishing.

Positives: Weight room and cleaning staff was great.

Negatives: No complimentary breakfast for the price and 4th floor needs to be rebuilt.

Location was great, front desk staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was nice but could have been a little cleaner.

Positives: The location was great for where I needed to be the next morning.

Negatives: The rooms could be a little bit cleaner. Looked as though the carpets had not been vacuumed.

With the price and the name Holiday Inn, I expected more. Our room was right beside the elevators, (really noisy) which wasn't working some of the time. One day the cleaning lady didn't even clean our room, and the room was on the small size for a king, the restroom was really small. The staff was very helpful and nice.

Positives: The lobby was very pretty and clean. The staff was very pleasant and helpful.

Negatives: Our room was next to the elevator, could've been cleaner, a bit small for the price.

Noisy, bad security, reserved as corporate group, meeting rooms set up wrong, reserved rooms not correct, no manager available. Train depot in back of hotel, interstate exit in front, loud partying in parking lot -- would never recommend this hotel.

Positives: Restaurant staff were excellent.

Negatives: Everything else, noisy, inept sales staff, no manager available.

My experience here was horrible. I got here to find that they didn't have a room for me even though I already booked and paid for it. They then "pulled" a room that smelled disgusting and wasn't the room I paid for. When I called about this, she then told me that I was lucky to even have gotten a room and the reason I didn't have a room was because they let other people (who didn't have previous reservations) stay over.

Positives: The location is the only thing I liked.

Negatives: The hotel staff told me (in other words, of course) that I was lucky to even get a room.

The room was not as clean as most Holiday Inns, especially the bathroom. But it was tolerable. The location was good. Our dog was welcome but the maid staff wouldn't come in to clean because we had a dog (in a kennel). To me that was no excuse, we had to go get our own towels from the front desk. For the price it was alright but we probably won't stay there again given a choice.

Positives: Front desk personnel; dogs allowed; location.

Negatives: Maid staff didn't clean room.

This could be a preferred place to stay if interior was updated. I will stay here again but not if I find another option.

Positives: Downtown location.

Negatives: Interior is old / Carpets smelly.

This hotel was OK, the location was excellent. Close to the boardwalk and the casinos. It was over priced for the hotel but there are not many quality hotels in Shreveport unless you are willing to stay at a casino. It was OK but I would hope that I didn't get that hotel again for the money we paid.

Positives: Location was nice lobby area was nice.

Negatives: Did not really care for the room did not have a very clean feeling.

The hotel is in a great location, but it so dirty I would not stay there again. Our room had in ants in it along with sunflower seeds on the floor. The elevators were so slow and need to be replaced. The room service was awful as well, we never received our coffee with our breakfast and had to go get it ourselves. We will never stay here again, the lobby was nice but the rooms were so out dated.

Positives: Location.

Negatives: The hotel was dirty and we had ants in our room on the 5th floor.

Hotel is conveniently located off of I-20. Close to the Sci-Port and Louisiana Boardwalk and other area attractions. I was disappointed with shoddy room repairs and stained mattresses even though the room was clean.

Positives: Conveniently located.

Negatives: Room was clean but had shoddy wall and bathroom repairs.

Reviewer: Not provided on Tue 14 Mar 2006 rated 9 out of 10.

Very clean and a great location if you want to visit the casinos.

Positives: Very good location.

Negatives: Room was above a train track and trains blew their horns all night.
