Hotels near Edible Arrangements, Shreveport

Upon checking in I found there were no double rooms left on the first floor and no elevator, my senior mother was stuck attempting the stairs for the duration of the trip....the front desk person's version of assisting was ”getting us a room close to the stairs so we could park by the stairs”. He proceeded to act as if I was going to leave because there wasn't a room. I could've gone nextdoor but I would have been out $120/night plus the $70 I had already paid. Very disappointed, when I booked I didn't have the option for an ADA double room. We were also not informed of checkout time nor breakfast options...it says they offer breakfast but there is no space for it as the whole reception area is just a big empty room. The beds are ok but very worn, sheets were stained with what appeared to be ink stains. Nothing was plugged in when we arrived in the room and there was no alarm clock or clock radio. Also there was an ironing board with no cover and no iron. The room was VERY dirty, made the mistake of walking barefoot in the room right after we arrived and my feet were black. Went to wash off only to discover there were no washcloths nor was there are bath mat. We had a regular towel and a hand towel. We had issues with the fridge as the only outlet available was the one that was controlled by the switch near the door. The outlet was wired with the constant on top and the switch controlled on the bottom....guess what if the fridge was plugged into the top nothing could be plugged in below. While trying to sort this out I made the HUGE mistake of moving the fridge, what I found was absolutely revolting, mixed in the grime, dirt, and lord knows what else was two plastic tampon applicators not in a wrapper. I can not say if they were used or not as that was something I was NOT getting near. The entire time in this room I felt disgusting and unclean. Even the shower was gross. The standard yellow orange La Quinta shower curtain was black across the bottom from the mold. For a hotel that has been ”renovated” and I use that term loosely this was terrible. I feel that this hotel is in a perpetual renovation and like other travelers have to access the owner....is it time to cut your losses?

Walls are thin! When a train goes by it sounds like there’s a drum line playing outside your window. The early morning trash trucks emptying the dumpsters were literally a rude awakening. I’m not sure what time the twangy country music stared playing on the boardwalk speakers, but we could clearly hear it from our room. We booked a suite specifically for the sofa bed option so our kiddo could be with us, but somewhat independent. There was no extra bedding for it in the room. When we called the front desk to have it sent up, we were told we’d have to come downstairs to get it ourselves. Not only was the room not prepared, there was no apology or any attempt to make it right from the hotel staff. I’m sure this seems petty, but my company lives and breathes customer service. This would’ve been an easy win for this hotel.

Let me begin by saying we’re “Diamond” with Hilton. (Not bragging, just setting up my review.) At check in, we ask where the elevators are, and proceed to, what we thought, was our room. After repeatedly trying our key, we heard a voice say, “who is this?!” Turns out, they share the building with another Hilton property. Seems like the staff could’ve prevented this embarrassing incident. Secondly, we brought dinner to our room. Because we’re quite familiar with this hotel brand, we knew we’d have plates & silverware. Nope. Every, single piece was dirty in the dishwasher that nobody had run. Third, we thought we’d enjoy some pool & hot tub time. Well, the jacuzzi was out of order and, despite it being July in Louisiana, the pool was ice cold. Lastly, we bought a few things at the grocery store for the fridge. Every time we thought we’d closed said refrigerator, I’d walk by and it was ajar. Folks, these may not seem like much to y’all but, when you add it all up, it’s very disappointing. Hilton, you can do better than this.

It's 10PM and I'm arriving in Shreveport for my dad's surgery in the morning. I called the Hilton to confirm that the hotel knew I was arriving late, and I was informed by the front desk clerk that they were oversold and did not have a room for me, but that they would walk me down the street to another hotel that was used for their overflow. I asked if it was equivalent to the Hilton in ratings. The answer was no. The reviews for the other location were terrible. When I asked why I was not notified that they had no rooms, the desk clerk responded that the day shift must have been busy. So was I!! I told him I was not comfortable with the ratings of the other hotel and their reviews for cleanliness were not good. I asked if there were other options? The response was, ”No, but if you want to cancel I can refund your money.” I told him that was really nice - especially since they didn't have a room for me. Seriously?!?!!!! Done with Hilton. I frequent the Omni and Hyatt for both work and pleasure weekly and never has this happened. Really disappointing and super frustrating - not to mention inconvenient as I'm trying to find another locations to stay. So much for customer service and reservations. Thank you Marriott for coming to the rescue and even offering a discount.
