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

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.

The room smelled of mildew, so pungent. It would wake you up during the night. Honestly, this place is likely a health hazard, and should be decommissioned.
