Categories

Cleanliness
6.8
Mixed reports: several guests praised clean rooms, but multiple strong complaints about musty/mildew and mold smells, musty lower-level rooms, and towels appearing dirty led to a below-average cleanliness score.
Service
9.8
Generally very positive: numerous mentions of friendly, helpful staff and service 'above and beyond.' A few isolated negative notes (rude staff member named Virginia, night-shift smoking) but overall service stood out as a strength.
Location
8.3
Convenient/safe for visiting family and friends in town; small-town setting noted and compared favorably to other local motels. Neutral-to-positive overall.
Room Quality
8.3
Mixed: several guests found rooms comfortable with good furnishings and TV, while others reported AC not cooling well, awkward cable box placement, and occasional musty/mildew odors.
Amenities
8.3
Amenities noted include DirecTV, elevator, and pool; positives for TV and elevator, but complaints about pool hours, AC/heating unit complexity, and occasional power issues temper the score.
Value for Money
8.3
Perceived as a solid option in the town (other nearby motels described as worse). Isolated negative incidents (accidental double charge, refund delay) reduce confidence slightly but overall value considered reasonable.
Food and Beverage
8.3
Breakfast feedback is mixed: some guests called it great or decent, others disliked the selection or missed it. Overall average satisfaction with breakfast offerings.
Overall Experience
8.3
Overall impressions are generally positive—comfortable, friendly staff, convenient location—offset by recurring cleanliness and occasional facility issues, resulting in an overall rating matching the target.

Pros:

The room was clean. It was quiet. The staff was very friendly. Unfortunately we stayed out very late so we didn’t get up early enough for breakfast, but we plan on going back sometime and will definitely try the breakfast.

Pros:

The room was clean looking, but it smelled like sour clothes. And the air conditioning unit didn’t blow super cold, which was unfortunate considering we are in the heat of summer in Louisiana. Staff was nice though, and the breakfast was decent.

Pros:

The only noteworthy "good" thing about this location is that the other motels in Oakdale, LA are WORSE. What I didn't like is that the DirecTV satellite box is fastened to the wall behind the dresser that the TV set sits on (and quite high). Very awkward to handle remote, change channels, plus the selection of channels is mostly for infomercials and children's channels.

Great option, safe for our trips to visit our family and friends. Wish the pool would open earlier for the kids to enjoy prior to checkout.

Pros:

This location is a typical Best Western but a little classier than I expected it to be given its small town location. Second floor rooms via elevator which I much preferred than having to use stairs to a second floor (and I've stayed in motels without elevators. Room, bed, furnishings very comfortable, cozy, private. 50" flat panel TV with DirecTV and all my favorite channels. This was a surprise to find DirecTV instead of just free streaming apps. What I didn't like is that it was time-consuming to figure out HOW to use the heat/cooling under-window appliance. No instructions to reveal that this unit operates in conjunction with a wall-mounted controller. Also, it was necessary for me to reset the cable box ON the TV set in order to retrieve the DirecTV on-screen guide. Overall a very comfortable and clean room.
