Only stayed one night en route to New Orleans. We were pleasantly surprised that immediately opposite they had a mall with good eating amenities. Great sized rooms albeit ours was a little noisy as it was highway side. Breakfast adequate. Great hotel for the price

Close off the interstate. Vent fell off of the ceiling. Recently built hotel, still with new construction smell. Nice staff, well kept. Breakfast sugary joke. There needs to be one healthy option please
