10/10 Exceptional

Perfect for one night stay, newly renovated and very comfortable.
Lanora, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Good stay.

The room was very comfortable for a 1 night. Dont expect holiday inn express people. Its a motel. Somewhere to lay your head and go. The room was very clean, area was safe, and well lit at night.
Deanna, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Got a room here after I left another hotel because I did not feel safe at the other. The guy came out to my car to give me my room key and he was nice. The area seemed safe. The beds were comfortable The room was clean.
Jennifer, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Don’t recommend

Check in was easy. Staff was nice. Not in the greatest part of town. The back part of the building that you can see from the highway looks super sketchy. The floor on the tub was peeling, vents were rusted. Picture on the tv was not good. I wouldn’t stay with kids but it was just my husband and I that needed a place to sleep after a concert.
Katherine, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

DON’T FALL FOR PICS OR REVIEWS

The trash had not been emptied, the floors were filthy and the wallpaper and ceiling were falling down in the bathroom.
Wayne, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

No complaints on this place. While it is basic, it is reasonably priced and suitable for one night. Bed was comfortable and the room is a good size.
STEPHEN, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

GREAT VALUE close to hwy

Great value too much noise to sleep TV Kind of funky low resolution big screen
Bob, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Second time we've stayed here, and may be our new go-to stay when visiting family in Lafayette. In a neighborhood right off of the highway, so it's very easy to get places while still offering cleanliness, simplicity, quiet and seclusion
Breannah, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The rooms and bathrooms are excellent, no blocked drains in the shower.

Would stay again

Great price. Comfortable clean beds and clean room. Rough neighborhood but had no problems and the property was quiet. Bath tub was painted. Poorly and said paint was peeling off as I showered.

Veronica, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Marcus, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Potato chip and hair in one of the beds.

Shower didn’t wasn’t sealed so it was peeling but that was okay but finding hair and a potato chip in one of the beds was disheartening for feeling the place was clean.
Stain on outside of sheets
Tub

10/10 Exceptional

Great stay...

It was a great stay i enjoyed the hotel very much.
Andrea, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Unacceptable

My wife walked in to the bathroom and said, this is disgusting! There was a huge rusted out area on the bathtub. Bad enough that you could scratch yourself and break the skin. Also, the bath mat had hair all on it. My wife didn’t even wash her hair or brushed it. Also, once we laid in bed, her feet got caught in the sheet, only to find out it had a big tear on the sheet. The bed itself was very comfortable.
Ralph, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The room was very clean with a remodeled bathroom. The sheets were clean and the bed was comfortable. A lot of space for parking. Truck parking for Truckers that is passing through.
Aaron, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Never again

The bathroom smelled of wet mop, the bedsheets and comforter had what looked like blood on them and really no place to sit things. The area was sketchy with lots of people walking around and sitting in parked cars in the parking lot.
Mike, 1-night trip
