Not Good.
Cons:

The sheets to the bed were not cleaned the whole place, smelled like wet dog the bathroom exhaust made such a loud noisy every time we turn on the light. When we used the bathroom we had to use it with out the light. The reception was hard to understand. We will look for another place to stay next time we visit Lack Charles.

Pros:

What breakfast? It was only granola bars.

Cons:

I asked for a non smoking room and the min you open the door smoke smell hit you. The room was nasty and also smelled like mildew. Seen a condom behind the tv stand. I will stay there again. After seeing the room and not being able to find another one we left and didn't come back until after midnight and was gone by 7am.
