    Nice big space. The room is really comforting. At night, it’s darkly lit. Also, why charge a parking fee when it’s right in a huge parking lot?

    Great stay

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    We were not comfortable. Good thing we only stayed one night. When we travel to Louisiana we always stay at the Marriott Residence Inn. This is the first time we have not been satisfied. The property is old, and it is in need of renovation. The carpet, furniture and bathrooms all need an upgrade. There is a bad smell. Something is definitely wrong with the plumbing.

    No ice in the hotel at all! The doors are broken and don’t work to get into the hotel. We asked the staff if there was something wrong with our key. Both of their responses were “no those doors are broken and have been for a while.”

    Superb

    Check-in was fast. Breakfast options were nice. Bathroom and towels in my room could have been a little cleaner. But the pillows were great. If I'm in need of accommodations in this area again I would not hesitate to stay here.

    Clean room and friendly staff. Just don’t book third party the pics are not the same as the room you get

  • Engine customer Mar 2026

    Hotel stay was poor. Found 2 cockroaches in my room and had to report to the front desk, the best they offered was cleaning THE NEXT DAY.

  • Engine customer Mar 2026

    Superb

  • Engine customer Mar 2026

    The breakfast was minimal. The location was excellent for our meetings and we also liked the stores and restaurants nearby. First we were not told about the hot water boiler being out. Then the elevator was down and 2 of us are handicapped and had to crawl down the stairs. Then we went to a business nearby and when we came back, we could not get in with our room keys.
