Rather than taking corrective action, management dismissed concerns by attributing them to language barriers with the renovation crew. When asking about the gym was told I could try a fitness center close by. Or Hampton inn next door. When I addressed it again on day four a staff member expressed I could go to the comfort inn to use the gym. Computers to print were unplugged. Paint was being scrapped and the workers had masks on but we were not offered the same. Periodically it smelled like gas. When bringing it up the front desk there seemed to be no action taken. When they ran out of waffle mix we were told we are having renovations. (How does renovations explain no edible food) On the positive side the cleaning staff was very kind. The room was clean and the hotel itself was close to great food. Got a waffle from WAFFLE HOUSE!

Because of the great price and the nice room, I decided to extend my stay. I'd say there's just a few negatives: -distance from city centers (not that big of a deal really) -no breakfast in the morning -nothing special about the town nearby -they have vending machines, but they are pricey - $3 for a water. Be sure to stop by a market and bring your own food and snacks.

Rooms & Suites are all upstairs, so not for those very disabled. As the proprietor, Gail Dugas, is an antique dealer downstairs, furnishings are a mix of "eclectic-elderly" with modern bedding. Parking is outdoors in rear, safe. A small ice machine is convenient near rear upstairs landing. The immediate neighborhood includes the police station and a couple small restaurants. As the area was later settled heavily by Sicilian-Italian Americans, local foods lean towards pastas and cheeseburgers. Across the once infamous "Sunshine Bridge", a 5 minute drive, one finds Cajun foods at Himel's, "The Cabin", plus a nearby "outlet Mall / Cabela's shopping complex with a "Don's Restaurant", an area locals' favorite. This is in the middle of Louisiana's "River Road" region with the nicest restored "Antebellum Plantations", most of which offer public access & guided tours. "Houmas House", just across at Darrow is the nicest plantation and "Oak Alley", on the same side of Old Man river is the most photographed & famous. Plan to spend at least two nights here. As one explores, more and more "hidden jewels" will emerge to draw your interest. As a South Louisiana Native who has lived all over the area, let me warn that one should sample our famous GUMBO before getting this far to the southeast. Good restaurant gumbo can be found in Lafayette, Thibodaux, Franklin, Jeanerette, Scott, Abbeville, Rayne, Crowley, Houma, & Gonzales; but not in or around New Orleans. Gail, a "Native Texan" from Abilene, is locally knowledgeable & an attentive hostess, who can provide accurate information & advice. Although there are numerous "chain hotels" a few minutes across, this quaint inn is well worth a visit. Rick Saint Martinville

Amazing Tour and Museum Experience…read more Houmas Plantation House is an amazing place to visit. We started our day early and had breakfast first. There's a simple American/New Orleans-style breakfast buffet with eggs, sausage, and grits, available from 8-10 a.m. The plantation opens at 9 a.m., and the first house tour starts at 9:30 a.m. The house tour lasts about an hour. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable. This was my second time taking the tour, and although the guides were different, they shared the same history in their own unique storytelling styles. Both were engaging and easy to follow. Don't forget to tip the tour guides--they do a great job. After the tour, we walked through the gardens in the morning. It's about a 45-minute stroll at a relaxed pace--walk, rest, and enjoy the scenery. Very peaceful. Later, we went to the Carriage House Restaurant, which has amazing food. The bar is also great--try the Houmas signature drinks, they're delicious. You can enjoy your drink inside or outside, then walk around more or relax. If one person wants to do everything--breakfast, museum and house tour, lunch at the Carriage House, and buy a few souvenirs--expect to spend around $150 or so. Overall, it was a great, peaceful experience, and I highly recommend it.

I appreciated some of the points that the mgr brought up, and I concede that my review was a second hand account. The staff did make an effort to get the family to stop the children from stomping and jumping, and I appreciate that the staff was busy with arrivals, being a few days from Memorial Day weekend. The communication fail in this instance was when your staff told my husband there was "nothing they could do and the people paid their money the same as him". At that point, he felt no help was coming. He had a choice to make leave now and try to get a good nights sleep at another place, or stay and endure the noise another night ...he chose to leave. I think if the management had said something to the effect of "we have spoken to them and they said they would stop, so for now my hands are tied until after 10 PM. but if you hear more noise after 10 PM which is our designated quiet time, I will be glad to ask them to check out". I know that sounds oversimplified, but sometimes it's the simple validation of somebody's frustration that makes all the difference. Lesson learned on both sides
