Nice front desk clerks and the room was exceptionally clean...Very! Very! clean. I was very happy to have a mini fridge , microwave, hair dryer and an iron and board in the room. Great place to stay and the rates are reasonable. Now!! the bad reviews; I myself think those are crazy people that work at other hotels and trying to knock business at a very nice hotel. When I first moved here to attend college I lived at the hotel and did not have a real complaint, I later found a house, but was flood last year. I'm back at the same hotel and notice that they have done a full and complete renovation on this place. Very nice Western Inn people...Now I say to the employees and owner; keep up the good work and forget about haters when you know the truth.... The Shirley Beale Curry.
I wanna thank the housekeepers for doing an appsolutly great job my 4 weeks here..really nice staff..nice rooms ..only problem i had was Wi-Fi wasn't real good..and basic cable need to step up your Game..everyone has HBO..and movie channels..but if you get a fire stick..you will enjoy your stay..thanks everyone and staff
The clerk I think her name was Lisa was the best...Since the storm the wifi was out but she took time to call other branches that her boss owned to accommodate my 17 year old son and I..we ended up at the siegen Inn location.. very nice hotel with a straight shot to N.O. Thanks so much...Western Inn...
We stayed here for 9 days just a few weeks ago and it was great especially for the price. It was recently renovated. The rooms were clean, no bugs and everyone was nice and super helpful. I met the owner and she was very friendly and helpful as well. When we first went in our room there was a musty smell, but once we cleaned the air filter in the AC it went away. But honestly I have to do that at just about every hotel I stayed in and I travel a lot for work so that is normal. Overall, great stay, comfortable King size bed at just over $300 a week.
I'm here NOW (June 27, 2018 @ 4:21pm) It smells extremely FRESH n my room!! The A/C is nice n cold!! The bed feels comfy (mine is a king at home). There r so many outlets to plug chargers in!! The bathroom is clean n ready for use!! Price is ok n not overly priced for a nite. Prob should hav used Expedia to book, but oh well!!
I stayed here about a month ago while in town for business meeting and am currently staying here again as of yesterday. I accepted a job at the Georgia Pacific mill in nearby Zachary but I'm from Mississippi and I am trying to get relocated to this area. The staff is very courteous and helpful in making sure you have a clean, quiet and comfortable room. Safe, well lighted area and rooms are nice and smoke free. Very reasonable!
Clean room, but all single beds were upstairs. Comfortable room. Easy parking.
Really nice rooms really clean and and all the people working here were so very helpful and nice . Also they have lots of security cams in the parking lot so you dont have to worry about your vehicle. Also just a short drive to baton rouge. Great weekly rates too
