HOLIDAY INN EXPRESS & SUITES NATCHITOCHES ^{* *}

Good rooms and guest service.

Was passing through and was tired, I have IHG points, so I decided we to stop in and rest for the night. This is not what I’m used to from an IHG hotel. I live in hotels 10 months out of the year. Swapping properties every 3 weeks. So I’ve been in my share of hotel. In fact I’m using my points to pay for this night. I would be pissed if I had to pay cash for it. This one is in dire need of a remodel. And I’m not talking about slapping a coat of paint on. The room had stained carpets. Window had not been cleaned in forever, and Someone wrote “wash me” in the dirt. I wish they had put a date. Bathroom was bad. Tiles discolored around the bathtub, gunk and grime all over tub, sediments on shower head, rusted door hinges. I think I was dirtier after I went in to clean up. Water pressure was horrible. I skipped breakfast because there was nothing to eat. No milk for cereal, no pancakes, no cream cheese for beagle, the white gravy was brown it was so old. There was something with eggs in it, but I could not even tell what it was supposed to be. No cinnamon rolls. Good thing IHOP is very close. There are literally 4 other, cheaper hotels in the parking lot of this one. I will say the staff was very friendly, that’s why this is a 2 star rating.

Very Quiet, room and bed very comfortable...carpet was worn but clean.
