I booked this at the last minute due to hurricane sandy changing my travel plans. If I had more time I would not have stayed here simply because it is not tourist friendly in terms of getting into the heart of New Orleans if you are a tourist with no transport.

As a highway motel this place is perfect for a one night stop right off the I 10 on your way where ever.

The room (118) was fine except you can see that people eat in the rooms. The carpet is a litany of food stains and probably other stains. I had one roach visit, it didn't get a chance to call its mates. Otherwise everything else in the room worked.

They supply a basic but filling breakfast which was welcome as the only bus into town close by runs every 45 minutes or so, and you are about an hour out of town.

They advertise wi-fi but outside of the reception it is poor and in my room it was non existent.

On the plus side the staff I met were polite and helpful. I arrived late i.e 1:30am and I was still checked in even though I was not on the system. Either their system or Booking.Com got it wrong.

As emergency last minute accommodation it worked. Oh ja it cost me about $48 from the Louis Armstrong airport to this place - OUCH!

It was nearly the last free hotel that weekend. Now we know why. Located in a strange looking area near the interstate, it needed security guards at night, which points to obvious security problems in that area. The rooms looked worn down and not really clean. But the most terrible thing I discovered was bed bugs. I explained that problem to the stuff, but the only thing they did was changing the sheets there was no offer of a new room (ok, they were booked out) or at least a discount on the way too expensive price. Not a pleasant experience...

First off, I thought this hotel was in Metairie, La. I checked in @ 1am on 10/26/12. The location looked scary. Rooms are exterior entrance, BAD thing, since prostitution was going on heavy there. I also checked in my room and was exhaisted so i didnt say anything but the ac cover was completely off and it was sooo dirty, the toilet did not flush at all. it was not stopped up but it just Plain BROKE!! I asked for a late check out the next morning and the fd clerk told me I could have one since i was a choice privilege member, Housekeeper still came to knock on door, Once i told the housekeeper i had a late check out. she replied rudely "well, i wasnt told that" and i told her i called and instead of her checking with the front desk agent to see if she had told me that or not. She told me that it was time to check out, and she wasnt told. I had a late check out.... Unless thats the only room left in New Orleans I definetely wouldnt advise this hotel to ANYONE!!!

First off, I want to say that this was my first time in New Orleans and I booked it on Hotwire.
I got to the hotel around 2:00 pm or so, as said in my reservation to check in. I didn't get checked in till 3:30 pm because none of the rooms were cleaned and ready. Housekeeping issue apparently. Got the hotel room with the gracious Jasmine who checked me in. I had a room block of 5 rooms and none were ready, and I was there plus 30 other people at the same time were needing our rooms for the convention in town.
I don't know who worked on Sept 29th, 2012 around 9:30 pm, but I paid for 5 rooms for two nights. Some lady at the front desk (not Jasmine), checked out one of the rooms (bus driver's room) and sold it to another person. There was one room left that was not cleaned at all and was not sold, so the bus driver had to sleep in the bus for one night. When I knew about this, I was going to scream! Properly train your staff! Look at your reservations clearly and carefully before you check out people out of the wrong room and let someone stranded for one night in a bus. I would have opted to sleep in the bus and let the bus driver sleep in my room if I knew about it earlier. Rooms were cleaned except for one room 132, complaints from my guests that not vacuumed and the sheets and blankets weren't even made. I will not be staying at this hotel unless i get comped on my next visit to New Orleans.
