Hostels em Louisiana, United States

No matter which aspect you evaluate, it’s great, I love it so much

This place is very hollow and loud. It's very close quarters and no sound proofing. You can hear everyone's TV in the hall amd your room, people screaming on the phone, doors slamming, people getting ice on another floor, people outside on the nice patio, water took forever in sink to go down, black blanket they give you was so nasty, looked like snot or semen smeared on it. Hair was everywhere. I say this with the understanding that hair is harder to get up. It was In our bed, everywhere in shower. I know you can't say no children but this is not a place for small kids to run around and talk in hallways bc everything can be hear so clearly. No proofing or weather*****ping under doors so there is a huge gap. Of maybe 1.5 inches under the doors that doesn't help the sound. Cute place, in a sketchy up and coming neighborhood. They have street parking only which was plentiful and said there was security roving through neighborhood. Never saw them but our cars were fine. Good idea for a small neighborhood hostel/hotel. Decor was simple and so cute throughout and it comes with a MW and fridge. The attached coffee and bar was nice.

Hotel did not appear old from exterior nor from the reception area. The front desk was extremely nice and gave a great first impression walking in. The hotel is old with very thin walls. The beds were somewhat comfortable but we’re not the quality I have been accustomed to with other Super 8 stays. This was old school sheet, thin blanket and old style bed spread that reminded me of an oilcloth table cover. The room appeared clean but it was small with no closet just a place to hang your clothes overhanging where the chair sat. I loved the air conditioner as it was almost silent and worked great. The door was marked and looked like at some point it had been pried open. When initially walking into the room it had a musty smell but dissipated quickly when I turned the AC on. From that point it was down hill. The walls are paper thin and every guest after we got to our room was loud. The people upstairs were having a stomp contest. Things finally quieted down around 11:30. The next night the room next to us left their TV on, not horribly loud but just enough to keep me from sleeping soundly. Would I go back ? Only if it was the last place in Natchitoches that had a room. We are bringing our camper next time we visit.

After our power went out and cell phone service went down following Ida, we decided to head west and luckily we were able to find a room available here. Certainly not the nice or best hotel I've ever stayed at, but it had a decent bed, cold A/C, and a warm shower, and that's all I needed at that point. I suggest asking for a 3rd floor room; otherwise, you'll hear the people above you. Unfortunately the guests in the room above us sounded like they were re-enacting WrestleMania all night, but I had earplugs with me so I was able to drown out most of the noise. Overall, I was satisfied.

Finally a budget Wyndham hotel that knows how to run a hotel. We’ve done a bit of traveling the last few months and it is getting very hard to find an offering by any of the Wyndham budget hotel chains that has reviews that are marginally good without complaints of being dirty and smelly. The folks at this hotel have taken care of the exterior and the place looks recently painted. All of the exterior lighting works and is quite bright at night. Our room was spotless. Bathroom area was great. And the bed – deluxe. You sink into a fairly firm mattress and it is soooo nice. Our room was quiet, the A/C worked well, mini-fridge had a freezer to freeze our ice packs and a small desk let me set up my laptop. The staff was friendly. The morning light breakfast had many tasty offerings. I wish they owned more Wyndham hotels. They know how to run a hotel.

BEWARE OF FRAUDULENTLY HAVING RESERVATIONS CANCELLED! On 25/09/23 I booked 10 nights at this hostel for Mardi Gras week in Feb '24. My one bed in a 10-bed mixed dorm incl taxes came to $480 for all 10 nights ... and I booked my international flight around this reservation. Two months later (on 26/11/23) I received an email from City House saying that my booking had been cancelled due to some damage to the room requiring repairs. I panicked because I absolutely cannot afford to stay in hotels and my flight is not refundable. But then I thought ... wait - it's only November. Why would you not be able to have repairs done by February? So, I rang the manager. She claimed that they couldn't get the repairs done because of the upcoming Christmas holidays ... but TBH it sounded like a run-around to me. Basically - they knew they could get more $$$ for the bed now. I noticed on the hostel website that there were still beds available in a 10-bed dorm exactly like the one I had booked, so I requested that the manager give me one of those beds instead. She said she can't do that but that I was welcome to book it myself online. However, those beds are now $200 a night (YES, in a 10-bed dorm!!!) ... MORE THAN 4 TIMES WHAT I HAD BOOKED THE BED FOR TWO MONTHS AGO. When I brought this to the manager's attention and asked to re-book for the original price she told me she could not honour that price. Nope. If I wanted to re-book I would have to pay $200/night 'because that is the price now'. I was so frustrated and upset I was near tears. Meanwhile, the manager's stance was just kind of a 'tough luck but sorry I can't help you' attitude. Even when I explained that the ONLY reason I had booked this trip was because I had found affordable accommodation and now I am stuck trying to scramble to find something else ... I received NO HELP whatsoever. Do I actually believe that the room needs repair? Nope. Because what on earth would take months to repair? And if it were true that repairs were needed then they would (and should) honour my original price in another room. No ... I 100% believe this is a case of cancelling my reservation in order to re-book the bed at a higher price. The fact that a traveller who booked far in advance is now left high and dry is seemingly 'not their problem'. TO CITY HOUSE NOLA - SHAME ON YOU. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY DISGRACEFUL BEHAVIOUR.

The biggest value detriment was the lack of advertised breakfast which I picked up at local McDonald's anyway. (It's better) Hi guys, you probably knew what was wrong with the room before I got in there, given how eager your staff were to enter my room with master keys while I was still leaving. On the plus side: I did have my own extra pillow and earplugs available to get a peaceful night’s sleep on the noisy interstate side of the motel. The room was spacious for me alone and pretty clean. I easily rinsed off the A/C filter which was not too dirty. The biggest inconvenience, as you know, was that the sink faucet was completely detached from the counter and had to be held in place to operate the handle. The fridge was almost half ice, so I turned it completely off to defrost it at checkout. Sorry to the next resident who will get a huge puddle of water when they open it. I had to use the fridge since the hotel provides no ice otherwise. Nor do they provide breakfast (in spite of “breakfast included” advertised). I don’t count a waffle maker with nothing to put on it as even toast. Don’t get me started on the mystery orange liquid stuff in a pitcher. The bedside was missing a lightbulb and the shower head loose and spraying all over in spite of tightening.

Perfect location in New Orleans ….close to Bourbon Street, but far enough away for peace and quiet. The room was everything we needed plus an amazing shower. The people working the desk were so friendly and helpful.

It was a good refreshing stay , had alot of good food places by the hotel .

Rooms are nice, soap dispensers installed in the bathroom, of course I have to travel with my road dogs and I always come to the red roof on Ruth st here in sulphur, La. 10/10 would recommend. Blackout curtains as well for those who work nights and need to sleep in the day, A/C blows cold. Right next to Waffle House, got to love it.
