What made our stay terrible is my 13 year old got sick and the night guy Dominic talked to him roughly and rude and cursed at my child because the vomitted by the exit door. When I talked to him he was rude to me also and didn’t clean it up for about 2 hours kept yelling I’ll be charged and didn’t want to give my husband a fork

Our ONLY problem was that the door was difficult to open. I had to put my shoulder to it in order to 'break' the seal. We reported it to the front desk and I'm hopping that it was fixed. Even the cleaning staff knew of the problem.

I felt that this location was upholding the traditional excellence of Best Western properties. IF I were to travel through Lake Charles again I'd put this motel as a "first choice" of places to book. The ONLY down-side (for me) was the breakfast choices. The breakfast was well prepared but just had limited choices. EVERY staff member we encountered was friendly and courteous.

Do not stay here unless the price is $50 or under a night. I paid $120 plus for one night and I wish I would’ve slept in my car instead. They also took a $50 additional incidental fees, too, which didn’t make sense. The lady said it’s for damages. I should’ve known what I was in for. As soon as I opened the door to my room, it smelled like mold and room was damp. It was close to 1:00 am and I was too tired to ask for a room change. The sheet was stained with holes, and pillow and sheets were damp. It doesn’t look like they were washed. When I pulled the sheet to look under, there was hair under the sheet. I slept on top of my sheet and didn’t change. There were dusts and webs in the room. Saw a spider on the sink. One towel had some red dot stains. Walls looked nasty. I didn’t sleep well cause I thought I was going to get bit by bed bugs. After finally sleeping for 3 hours, I was out of there. I didn’t even shower. I felt nasty and dirty, but showering there was going to make me feel nastier with the stained towels. I wish I had the energy to leave right after I smelled that room. That was definitely the worse room stay I’ve ever been in.

I could only give a 1 because they don’t allow 0
Was told to go in side door that wouldn’t unlock. Air conditioner sounded like a semi truck all night. Bed was uncomfortable. Tv had to be turned to full blast just to hear a little. Shower had so little water coming out you couldn’t get clean. Breakfast was the worst. Juice machine didn’t work. Ran out of coffee by 6:15. Food was not much and no flavor. DONT STAY HERE!!!
