Categories

Cleanliness
3.5
Multiple reviews report cockroaches, dead roach, bed bugs, mold/mildew, cigarette smoke and even blood on a door; cleanliness is a notable problem.
Service
9.5
Several guests called out staff as friendly and responsive (quick room changes, fixes), even when property issues existed; service is a relative strong point.
Location
10
Many reviewers praised the convenient location (near McNeese, lake, between Houston and New Orleans); noise and some safety concerns were noted but the location is frequently described as a primary benefit.
Room Quality
4
Rooms suffer from smells, mildew, visible damage (furniture disintegration), malfunctioning appliances, and isolated serious issues (bullet hole, nonworking fridge/phone); room quality is below expectations.
Amenities
5
Amenities are inconsistent: some rooms have fridge/microwave, but parking is limited/overbooked, pool was a disappointment for some, and advertised breakfast is minimal or lacking.
Value for Money
10
Multiple guests explicitly called the price reasonable and said the stay was 'worth it' or 'comfy for the price' — value is frequently cited as a positive trade-off against shortcomings.
Food and Beverage
4
Breakfast repeatedly described as poor or just snacks (yogurt, muffins, granola bars); several guests expected fuller breakfast service and were disappointed.
Overall Experience
10
Overall experience is mixed but, for many budget travelers, the combination of location, price, and responsive staff outweighs property and cleanliness issues; the net sentiment for budget-conscious stays skews positive.

Sucked
Pros:

Was nothing to like about it! I booked it because is the “Wyndham” umbrella . Big disappointment!

Cons:

The rooms are smelly, the furniture disintegrating I wore gloves to touch anything, like light switches remotes.
It’s right next to the highway, the building shakes every time a truck passes

Messed up and nasty
Pros:

Nothing. I'll never be back again!

Cons:

There was blood on the door. The fridge didn't work. The phone in the room didn't work, tv wasn't working but they got it fixed. Their breakfast is a joke! A trash can has more to offer. And the room stinks

A scary dump
Pros:

Did not go inside. IT was a dump and scary. Strange men were sitting on the 1st and 2nd-floor porches. I was traveling with 2 other senior citizens (2 women) and did not feel safe, even to get out of our car.
