A risky place don't recommend for now Risky! Sketchy guests. Zero security. too much theft. lots of guys running around in hoodies. Avoid this place until they improve. It seems to be a virtual "thug palace". Open and obvious drug and prostitution activity Too much activity at all hours of the night. Too many guests hanging out near doorways asking for rides and/or money. We briefly stay here while visiting family but never again. Loud constant incessant thundering booming thumping annoying gangster style rap from car stereos and boom boxes in rooms. High levels of noise and disturbances all night -especially bad from 12pm to 4 Am. Kind of scary in some areas- Poor exterior lighting. A significant number of recent releasees from Angola State pen staying at location. The property recently changed over from Extended stay America who let the place deteriorate and go down. It's an old building constructed in the 70s- incredibly thin walls ugly interiors and filthy carpets that have not been changed out since the place was built. Carpets are dirty and have not been professionally cleaned in years. full of stains and pet waste. The furniture is awful and looks like salvation army rejects. The building is unsound and has the structural integrity of a wooden tree house. Way thin walls and floors. There is NO noise attenuation. You literally hear everything next door and outside. Endless barking dogs- way too many aggressive pit bulls Seems like every guest has a loud pain in the neck shelter pet or pit bull half breed. Bring your pepper spray because you will most likely have one lunge at you as happened to us. The hotel has literally turned into a dog kennel- it's a nuisance to those who need to get rest and want peace and quite. Too much emphasis placed on catering/pandering to dog owners at the expense of other paying guests. They need to hold guests accountable for their noisy/nuisance pets and for idiotic disruptive behavior which they don't do. We recall one woman who had four dogs in her room- unacceptable. Pet dander fleas and roaches in many rooms. Perhaps the new manager can turn the place around but the owners need to become involved. The hotel is in desperate need of renovation, better security and better pet and noise policies. Bring your earplugs and earmuffs if you want to sleep or even rest. Thank God we were able to get reservation in baton rouge at Marriot- Pay more but it's better than Lafayette.
