False advertising
Everything was great except next to no breakfast. Don’t advertise full hot breakfast and at 7:30 am there is absolutely nothing to eat except for 3 bagels

The stay at the hotel was o.k..The only screwup was with Expedia. I had booked for 10/25-27, checking out on the 28th.Got a call from the desk as to my intentions with the room on the evening of the 27th because Expedia had booked me for only two days. Luckily my room was still available so I could book it Will know next time to call and confirm even tho Expedia stated that that was not necessary

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.

Staff and check in were easy. Unfortunately the sheets were bad, rough feeling. Also, the bathtub handle was broken, fell right off ! They need new towels too, we got thin and dingy ones. Do better!!

Road Trip
The hotel was great, the only problem was there was a ton of teenagers there & they were super loud & the front desk workers didn’t tell them to keep their noise to a minimum for the comfort of the other guest

Friendly staff and clean hotel
Check-in staff were very friendly. We especially enjoyed breakfast. The food was good, and Deborah, the hostess, was incredibly friendly with a beautiful smile! Housekeeping staff were also friendly and polite when we met them in the hallway.
