Soon as we pulled up to the property at 1:30 am we noticed a lot of people standing outside. One of those people walked up to the car to attempt a drug transaction not knowing who we were. There was noise and traffic throughout the night which made it impossible to sleep. Lastly the room had fleas

Overall it was a decent, secure and comfortable place for a night and the staff was exceptional, however when I took a shower, the shower head fixture sprung a leak suddenly and started spraying everywhere on to the hardwood tile which could have been a safety hazard considering there was no shower mat and for some reason, the water also smelled like a really bad smell bad which made for an unpleasant experience but I did mention it to the owner or manager when I was checking out and he apologized and offered to give me a partial refund which I refuse because that’s not really something he anticipated. The only other thing negative I would say is that it just does not feel like the safest place and I actually even had someone knock on my door at 3 AM and then come back around in an hour and knock again which was a little scary but overall, it was a decent experience and a good night sleep for the most part. I don’t know if they served breakfast or not. It was not mentioned to me on check in but but i think the comfy bed and the friendly staff went a long way toward making it and already good value. I would stay there again, but it would not be my first choice.

Drug dealers on site

Drug dealers +hookers in room 227 the worst day I’ve ever had in a hotel and I’m a platinum member with Hotels.com. The Front Desk girl did her best to try to bring down the noise in the property, but constant fights. People knocking on my door by mistake as they were clearly Seling drugs, and hookers next-door. I was not able to get any sleep and it was pretty late. Check out, but I left early. Don’t waste your money in this property. It’s pretty scary.

Worst Decision You Can Make.

The property was nasty. Disgusting the sheets were horrible. They say they have breakfast, but do not have breakfast. They tell you to get cereal with no milk. The staffs attitude is not customer friendly. The guy threatened to call the police on me even after I proceeded to show him I had the money for my room.

OK for Quick Over-nighter w/ VERY LOW Expectations

Desk personnel were very good. Room had a couple issues with broken items, for example the toilet paper holder, but was clean and comfortable. Breakfast advertised, but I went by at 6:10am and there was cold cereal, a coffee machine, really old pump creamer containers (creamer separated or overly thick), and a juice machine.

When trying to rent a room at the property the cost of the room was more than it was online. The front desk lady said in order to get a lower rate I had reserved the room online, which I did standing in the lobby. We get to our room and unpack our vehicle. When walking into the bathroom there was black mold everywhere, even hanging from the ceiling. We requested a different room. They gave us the one right next to the one with black mold. During the stay our room key deactivated twice. We requested extra pillows from the front office and were told that wasn’t possible. Other than the old hotel smell the room seemed to be clean, so we decided to stay. However, when we woke up the next morning there were roaches in the bathroom.

Rented 6 rooms for a church youth trip to a Conference held in Lake Charles. Parking lot and lower level rooms became an open air drug market after dark. 2 prostitutes posted by front gate. O towels. Marijuana smoke everywhere. The one redeeming quality was the front desk staff. Lawanna was sweet. One of our kids left a backpack and $1000 ipad in the room. She called us and held them at the front desk for us. The young Nigerian lady who checked us in was sweet and friendly. If you stay here though, pack heat and watch some Active Self Protection youtube videos first and enjoy the contact high.

The bedroom smelled like mold and there was two cockroaches trying to get in my bedroom.

They offer “Free continental breakfast” but it was only coffee and old cereal.

Also, the location is terrible. There are no restaurants close to the place, only a gas station to buy snacks.

You’ll need a car to move around because there was no Uber or Lyft available.

Not worth the money.

I've stayed at much better Motel 6s than this Econolodge. The bathroom floor was dirty, the toilet didn't look clean, the bathroom door didn't shut or lock properly, the sink was missing a stopper and had tons of gunk inside there. There was a metal support under the bed and every time we got close we kicked it making a huge noise. Pretty annoying when I got to in the middle of the night to go pee. Woke everyone up. If it was a $50 room I wouldn't have been as disappointed, but it was around one twenty.
