The room had a mildew smell, it was definitely not fresh smelling. The toilet handle was hanging on for dear life and the cable was shotty on and off. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone it wasn’t worth the price.

We stayed here for one night while traveling from Houston to New Orleans. The property itself was very clean, both inside and outside, which made our stay comfortable. The only downside was the front desk customer service, which could have been more welcoming. Overall, it was fine for a short stop.
