If I could show pictures Howard Johnson on Broad in Lake Charles La was so filthy! We were late getting in town had a family emergency and exhausted. Between the drugs being felt in parking lot and apparent Prostitute going on it was scary. We prayed for our safety and declared to never go back. Public hair ans utter filthy in bathroom, carpet was disgusting burn holes in the bedding rusty refrigerator NO coffee pot as stated, also someone renting a room for a few hours upon our checkout. I didn't mention to staff as I felt I may not have gotten anywhere with them. No way they aren't aware of what place they are running at HJ on Broad street in Lake Charles! I slept maybe 2 hours as the horns blowing and open and closing of doors all night long and trash all along the walkways to rooms and definitely shady people to say the least!
There was a half used rool of tissue with stool on it, filthy around bottom of sink not to mention spider webs and behind toilet looked like it'd nit been cleaned in a year! Absolutely disgusting. Doesn't deserve 1☆. Need refund!

It was absolutely terrible. They tell you that they have a breakfast. They do not have breakfast. They only give granola bars, so that’s a why they were roaches everywhere and every room the sheets seemed washed, but still stained was not worth the money.

I was given a smoking room even though I requested a non smoking one, the room smelt awful, there was a couple of cigarette burns in the sheets, the room just didn’t feel clean, and the “free breakfast”!was coffee, juice and a granola bar. I wouldn’t stay here again.

Very friendly and informative staff. Ideal location to the downtown area. Parking is not ideal at all, the spots are small so bigger vehicles would take up 2. Our 2nd night we had to park across the street in an empty lot and walk to the hotel. The room wasn’t cleaned very well prior to our check in, there were dirty socks from the previous guests behind the door in the bathroom and on the shelf under the tv and empty cigar wrappers by the tv. The shower was clearly meant for small guests, I’m 5’4 and had to squat down to wash my hair. Overall, we didn’t mind because of the proximity to the shops and restaurants but a bit more cleanliness and some updates would make this place great.

The air conditioner was having trouble cooling. It was a bit on the warm side for me. The room was clean and cute. The property manager was friendly. I would stay there again. We stayed one night on our way to Florida and needed a place to sleep. The price is reasonable. No connecting room, which was something we needed. Overall, it’s good.

The front desk was very accommodating. There is no coffee pot in the room and breakfast doesn't start until 7am so I missed out due to having to leave to go to work. I chose the hotel based off of the price plus the fact they served breakfast. The staff more than made up for my disappointment in hospitality.

The room is extremely out dated. The bathroom has mold in the ceiling, the tub looked like a mat had been ripped up, there was hair in the tub and it didn’t look clean. I laid down a towel in the tub to not step on the tub bottom. The sink was dirty in the bathtub was dirty. The furniture in the room is old and worn badly. The room also had an Oder to it. I do not recommend at all. Luckily for us we only needed a place to rest for the night and for the price…. You get what you pay for. It was so bad I brought my own towels in the room.

This hotel should not be opened, and it needs to be removed from hotels.com website. Cockroaches, unsanitary, dirty and just gross.

This property is old, yet clean. Little dingy. AC didn't function to it's capacity so it was discomforting. Even though we were only there for 6 hours (arrived at 5am and checked out by 11am), we managed to rest. Staff were nice.

You get what you paid for

The lady at the counter was nice. She checked us and quickly. Upon getting into our room we found roaches and a bee. The whole room needed an upgrade fixtures were falling internet didn't work very good. Well we got what we paid for.

granular bars only breakfast

I chose the place because it says \"breakfast\" is included. But they only have coffee, juice and one kind of granular bars! What a joke!

It was nice to find an affordable room for one night on short notice through the app. It was also nice to have the reservation correct and available upon arrival. While checking out just before 11am it was nice to have complimentary coffee since the room price includes a continental breakfast but, apparently, not after 10am. Approximately 8 hours after check out, the realization that an item had been left behind generated a phone call. The manager seemed quite ambivalent stating that the item had likely been recycled. What?!?! That response was not only shocking, it is also unacceptable. We shall see if this manager has any idea how to manage his housekeeping staff or how to provide good customer service.

I am not sure why Orbitz would have people give this place a 4 or 5 star. This place was dirty, nasty and smelly. There were holes in the walls, tiles were missing, microwave was dirty and so was the fridge. I would not recommend anyone to stay there. Oh, they do not have breakfast the way their website shows.

NASTY ROOM LIKE A CRACK DEM

THIS WAS HANDS DOWN THE WORST HOTEL IVE EVER VISITED. COMPLETELY UNSATISFACTORY FROM THE DOMESTIC VIOLENCE SITUATIONS IN THE ROOMS NEXT DOOR AND DOWN STAIRS TO ROOM AC SMELLING LIKE THE URINAL IN A BAR. THE LEAKING SHOWER AND RUSTED TUB. SPIDERWEBS IN THE BEDROOM A TV THAT WOULDNT CHANGE CHANNELS. DIRTY BED SHEETS AND TOWELS JUST NASTY.

Nice Hotel but breakfast is not included.

Need it a rest on a road trip and all nice hotels were booked so I had to look for other options. The hotel is located in a historical neighborhood very close to the street shopping. Safe area and the hotel room was very clean and smell clean. The furniture seemed new. Very safe location to travel with family or by yourself.
The only thing is that breakfast is NOT provided eventhough it says so when you are booking.
Close to the convention center and downtown area.

It is what it is for the price point. Room was clean. I reserved a king bed, but they put us in a double and was charged the same price as king room. Don't expect much for the \"breakfast\". It was a couple of muffins cut up into quarters.
