Trip Type: Special Event Review 1 of 43Return Engagement
1. Based upon the clarity of the water and the debris on the bottom, the swimming pool was not inviting. Perhaps this can be attributed to the absence of water circulation. 2. The continental breakfast was very good. 3. The housekeeper did not correct the two deficiencies that were identified on the room card. Consequently, I had to hold the handle on the commode in the down position in order to complete a flush. 4. Upon entry, the room temperature was too cold due to the thermostat setting. 5. The ice maker provided sufficient cubes.

Trip Type: Overnight Stay Review 2 of 43Adequate for Single Night Travelers
I chose this hotel primarily for its proximity to Interstate 10. Accessing the hotel from the interstate was a bit tricky. The hotel sits on I-10 Service Road which runs parallel to the interstate but besides an access road to the interstate. So, once you exit I-10, be sure not to continue driving straight through the traffic light by the overpass or else you will remain on the access road. Instead, in order to get to I-10 Service Road, you should immediately make a right onto Bullard Avenue and then make a left at the first traffic light. We checked into the hotel at 2 p.m. on a weekday. The two ladies of the front desk were apathetic, but efficient in the check-in process. The lobby is divided into two areas with large couches. A giant flat screen television dominates one side and is surrounded with 3 couches. The other half of the lobby has smaller couches and one desk with a computer for guests’ use. The entire lobby felt sticky and warm. We were initially assigned to a 3rd floor room. The elevator’s floor was grimy owing to the cheap sheet vinyl used as flooring. Our room was not completely cleaned e.g. no clean towels, dirty towels in the closet, and no pillow cases. The air conditioner was old and did not adequately cool the room. After inquiring into the state of the room, we were assigned to another room two doors down from the original one. This room had a new a/c unit and was clean. The air conditioners in the hotel are a mix of new and old. This translates into sporadic uncomfortable spots of heat. The bed mattresses are firm and each bed had four comfortable pillows. The bed sheets were clean and the beds nicely made. The room’s television remote had “stuck” buttons. This made navigating through the channels difficult. The hotel provides basic cable with a sprinkling of premium channels. Not all the outlets in the room functioned properly. The bedside lamps did not function at all. The bathroom’s tub was small and a bit shabby. Bare minimum toiletrie

Trip Type: Family Review 3 of 43issues
room was comfortable and affordable. issues!!! 1.front desk clerk made a discriminating comment upon my arrival, still waiting for corporate office to respond to this matter. 2. front desk personnel need extensive training on how to handle online reservations. 3. general manager behavior was offensive, irate and unprofessional. while new orleans east struggle to rebuild the general manager here is a poor representation of La Quinta.

Trip Type: Family Review 5 of 43Friendly Staff
The hotel is an area that was flooded during Katrina. Although, its been several years the area is still recovering. In the surrounding area there are many vacant business and homes. The motel is in excellent condition and the staff was extremely friendly. I felt like the area was glad to have tourist and it showed in their hospitality. The motel has a great breakfast bar and very clean rooms. It is located right off the interstate which made it convenient to travel to the French Quarter, around New Orleans, and to Gulfport Mississippi.

Trip Type: Business Review 8 of 43Ok for the money
When looking for an affordable place to stay in New Orleans, this hotel worked out ok. There seemed to be a "damp" feeling / smell throughout the hotel, but nothing to get too worked up over. I don't like the central New Orleans area, so for ease of access to my final destination it worked out well and the price was about 1/3 less than a few of the hotels closer to my destination on the "West Bank." Since I left the hotel early in the morning traffic was not a factor, if I was leaving to head to the West Bank during normal hours, I would have paid the extra money and stayed closer. For a good priced room on a short notice this worked out fine.

The hotel was clean and staff was very helpful. The room was very spacious and the beds slept well. The hotel area is quiet and cozy. If you are looking for a great hotel for the value, this is it. I will definitely stay here again if visiting New Orleans.

Trip Type: Family Review 13 of 43Well worth the money! Nice staff/facilities
Nice room. Clean hotel. Breakfast included hot waffles, fresh fruit, good yogurt, cold cereal and muffins/breads. Friendly helpful staff. Did have a slight odor, since it was involved in Katrina. All in all, worth the money. Off the beaten track but had RP Buffet nearby( all you can eat, crab legs , sushi, good selection for $10). IHOP/McDonalds also nearby.
