Nice, but I prefer
The room was clean, the breakfast was nice and the staff was friendly. This was not bad for a 2-star hotel. However, I prefer to have the luxury of hotels or the experience thereof.

The staff was really nice. Breakfast was average. We booked through Expedia and we did not get the room we paid for because it was already booked and the hotel wouldn’t give us our money back. The hallway was 83 degrees and her reason was “heat rises” ok I know this but the unit in the hallway wasn’t working. The unit in our room kept it barely comfortable and when I say “comfortable” I mean we could have slept without blankets. I wasn’t very impressed and I won’t be staying there again but they staff was very nice until I said something about the unit in the hallways then I knew it was pointless to bring anything else that wasn’t right to her attention. Definitely wasn’t worth $160.00

Go somewhere else
Musty, toilet leaking water on floor, TV Volume broken, only can get 2 towels at a time. When called desk, they stated there was nothing they could do about my issues. No credit, no refund, just deal with the issues. Also not in best part of town. Pass this place by. Spend a little more and go somewhere else.

The staff was nice. The whole hotel was very warm. The third floor hallway was hot. The air conditioner in the room worked pretty well, but it made a weird gurgling sound when it started up each time. The bathtub needs to be refinished, but the water pressure in the shower was good. We found some questionable hairs on the ironing board which was weird, so cleanliness was a bit of an issue. My son swam and really enjoyed the pool. Mixed review over all, but I would probably choose another hotel if I stayed in Lake Charles again.
