Best Suites hotel was great. Came for the weekend to visit friends and this hotel was recommended. The breakfast was fabulous along with free cocktails.... yes, free cocktails. That was perfect. The hotel is a little older but seems to be kept up well especially after a couple hurricanes. This hotel was excellent. Great value, very courteous staff, clean rooms,... more

I have stayed at this hotel over a dozen times over the last year, mostly because of the location, the large presidential suites, and the fact that they take pets. I overlooked the smells, poor management, and poor staff communication (although Connie and Louise are exceptional,) The rooms are laughingly maintained (bathroom counter propped up with a table leg, toilet... more

Wow-where do I start...in spite of reading the negative reviews here, I chose this location because it was very close to a business location I would be working at. Bad decision! I would rather have walked, hitchhiked, run, swam, etc. from 20 miles away rather than have stayed at this hotel. It stinks the minute you walk in. It's a... more

We arrived at 10:00 on Amtrak so we were not able to to check in until 3:00. The manager apologized, said that they would start working to clean a room that had checked out, and offered to hold our bags if we wanted to go out and come back. Check-in was speedy, but we were told the room would be... more

We were traveling through LA and it was getting late so we figured we'd stop in Lake Charles for the night. The Auberge looked beautiful but was too expensive, so we went with the positive reviews here (which are usually dependable) but this time it was just wrong. The property itself was not difficult to find and actually looks nice... more

I have stayed here before and look forward to getting back next week. I have been very pleased with the facility, it's location, and the people that work there. A great place to stay for the traveler. Just off I10 (have not noticed a noise problem), convient, safe and comfortable. Small on-site store has it all and free drinks and... more

I've stayed in the Best Suites 6 or 7 times. After a brief break to stay at the L'Auberge (way over-priced and over-hyped) I've returned to the very reasonable Best Suites. If you're not spending hours in your hotel then this is a comfortable and convenient place to stay. I've traveled the world and stayed in wonderful properties but there... more

Have stayed at better. It was smelly in some areas of the hotel just as the other reviewer stated. Rooms need to be fixed up. The door in our room leading to the bedroom was broken (off the hinges). Door in the bathroom did not close. The matress was disgustingly stained, looked as if someone had gotten sick on it.... more

The hallways and elevator smelled horrible! The room was fine except we specified it was our wedding anniversary and wanted a nice view - they gave us an abandoned parking lot and railroad tracks. Breakfast was simple and they were not ready at the open time (took about 45 minutes to set up). Pool room was locked when it was... more
