We intended on putting some money into the local economy as it was hurricane Katrina's 2nd anniversary. We reserved the room for 3 nights and left after the first, we were charged a fee for early checkout. The carpeting, bedspread and sofa were filthy! There was no bath mat or clock but there was a lot noise from other rooms and parking lot till early morning. I did not dare turn on the lights at night for fear of seeing cockroaches! We traveled an hour west to Denham Springs and stayed at the Best Western for the remainder of the weekend where it cost less $ and they had more amenities!

Positives: We were able to leave.

Negatives: It cost's an additional fee for leaving early.

The only good thing about the hotel was that the staff was friendly and the bed was comfortable. We requested a non smoking room and were put in a smoking room. The room was clean for the most part except for the stains on the carpet. We did not have cold water we had to brush our teeth with warm water. The pool was closed with a tarp and cinderblocks and the outside was not up kept well. This hotel was certainly not worth and if anyone is going on vacation to Slidell we do not recommend you stay here!

Positives: The staff was friendly and the bed was comfortable.

Negatives: No cold water pool was inoperable outside was not up kept.

This is the worst hotel I have ever stayed at ever! The door to our room locked but there was a big gap between the door and the door jam. It was not as secure as it should be. If I pulled on the door handle it was very loose. We pushed the table in front of the door to make it be more secure. At 12:55 am some strange guys tried to bust the door in and scared us to death! We had to push on the door so that these crazy criminals whoever it was also tried to kick the door to the room next to ours. I reported it to the hotel management but they didn't seem to care. The telephone in the room did have a dial tone but when I tried to call for help it wouldn't dial out. Pretty important to have a working phone in the hotel room especially when someone is trying to break in! The sheets and comforter were filthy! The carpet was dirty and the fridge leaked water all over the floor. There were no towels or soap. Two of the lamps didn't have lampshades. The phone in the room did not work which is pretty important when some crazy criminals are trying to break in the room. Next time I go to any hotel, I will make sure that the phone works and the door locks securely. If it doesn't, I request another room or check out. It isn't worth risking my life or my family's life to ignore warning signs like these. Next time I will listen to what my gut instinct is trying to tell me. It's usually right.

Positives: Close to 1-10.

Negatives: Lack of concern from hotel management.

Economical, clean, adequate, basic. What was described as a suite was not. We could hear activity in adjacent rooms. I would consider staying a gain with price being main determinant.

Positives: Price, adequate, clean.

Negatives: Ad said suite. No suite.

Ok for the money, I wouldn't recommend it at a normal rate. It served us ok, but all we really did was sleep there. There were a lot of places to eat and stores, etc. Real close. They had a pool but it wasn't operational. The parking was inadequate. For the money, it was aright.

Positives: The location was ok. The room was acceptable.

Negatives: It wasnt very clean and needed some repairs.

The room had no coffee pot, no hair dryer; no light over the mirror at the bathroom sink, no trash can in the bathroom. No plug in the bath room if you took your own hair dryer. The keyhole was taped on the door. The ceiling light had been removed, the wires were visible. The lamp shades were torn and the inside lining was torn; they were fastened to the lamp. The sheets had holes and the bedspreads had cigarette burns in them. It was impossible for my husband to see to shave. I spoke with management and they didn't seem to care.

Positives: There was a key to the door.

Negatives: This room was the worst.

What a dump! Couldn't wait to get out of there! It stunk and was filthy. The smoke alarm didn't even work because it was broken! I can't imagine "what" slept in my bed! The manager was sleeping on the couch with the door locked when we arrived. And he had been drinking. I would not recommend this to anyone and you couldn't pay me to stay there again!

Positives: Nothing.

Negatives: Everything.

This was the worst hotel I have stayed in my entire life. I have stayed in better hotels for the same price or less. All of the accommodations were horrible. The room smelled really bad. I had to constantly spray air freshener to be able to stay in the room for two days. There were not enough towels. We didn't have a coffee pot or any Kleenex and we didn't get these items the whole time we were at the hotel. They didn't bring us any extra cups. There were cigarette burns in the comforters and the mattresses smelled really bad. Cigarette burns were also on the telephone and on the sink. This was supposed to be a none-smoking room. I couldn't get under the covers at all. It was a really good thing I brought my own little blanket with me and my own towels. I was mortified with this place. This place was mostly false advertising. Someone should check into this right away. I feel we should be reimbursed or given credit to another hotel in the future. The better business bureau should know about hotels like this. This was the most traumatizing stay I have ever had in a hotel.

Positives: I didn't line anything about this hotel. It was horrible.

Negatives: The beds smelled like smoke. The room smelled like smoke. Not enough towels. No coffee pot in room. No ironing board in room.
