    Clean, nice environment, plenty of parking. Great bathrooms. This was a welcome relief on our trip.

Nursing home across the street, also on a dead end road so you could park your trailer there if necessary. It is located on the frontage road. Stacey checked us in and was highly professional, greeted me as a member. Also had some suggestions about restaurants in case we needed some. Room was extremely nice and comfortable, love the setup with the closet desk ensemble, sorry I did not get a picture. Breakfast was great all you would expect at a HIE good standards. Decaf coffee is available in the morning. They do accept pets, charge is $50.00 only stayed one night so not sure if it maxes out after so many days. Wish the rate was on the web site. Overall a good stay and would stay here again.

    I never write reviews for hotels in general but omg this needed to happen. The first room we were…read morein. barf. It smelled like wet dog and a division 3 boys football team after practice in the heat of summer. We went in, smelled the room, gagged a bit, and hauled butt out. They had this weird rainbow air purifier in the room (that's the picture attached) so they had to have known it stunk. It was on floor 4 maybe in the 420s??? Thankfully, the worker at the time named Sterling was very accommodating and got us into a new room immediately. Then we were on the 2nd floor i forgot where exactly but the early 200s. It smelled... better.... we went back to the car and basically gassed the place in lysol. highly recommend bringing a can if you intend to stay there. The shower floor was literally so nasty and there was someone else's food still in the fridge. Breakfast was good and luckily they had different kinds of milks for allergy people such as myself. (almond, soy, ect) We also just had a really eery feeling the whole time we were there. It was lwk scary and I did not sleep well. We also got 2 random calls from reception at almost 10:30 pm asking to confirm the last name on the reservation. Like what?! Can this not wait till morning. Also. The cookies in the lobby don't get refreshed till 4pm. I know it's not of utmost important but i wanted a cookie after a long drive . Anyway, yeah!! Bring a can of lysol and your own cookies and you should be good! Oh, and maybe some shower shoes.

    My husband and I have stayed here for five nights, which is more than enough time to formulate a…read moresolid review. I graduated with my BA from Tech in 2012 and my MA in 2014, and with this being my first visit to Ruston since then, we booked this hotel for our anniversary trip (was supposed to be in Boston, but Covid happened). This hotel wasn't here back in the day, and it is really a beautiful place to stay. The staff is friendly, and the housekeepers are extremely cordial and will do everything to make your stay the best possible. That said, we booked our stay as titanium members and hoped to get an upgraded room since that's what the status entails. Instead, we were placed in a small room with a tiny closet and two drawers to store clothes for six days. To say we were disappointed is an understatement. Lots of additional storage opportunities could have happened - especially under the bathroom sink, a larger chest of drawers, and under the bed. It appears the designers missed the mark there. We were also told housekeeping would come by every third day. It didn't happen. We had to ask housekeeping to come by on our fourth day to freshen the room. The gym has a lot of towels, so my husband would grab towels there and bring them to our room. The front desk staff was also mediocre. They were friendly here and there but mostly seemed uninterested. I stayed at the Hampton with my parents when they visited me while I was at Tech, and that hotel offers larger rooms and better storage if staying for several days. Part of me wishes we had stayed there for the sake of ample storage. If you're staying a night or two, the room is just right. The other thing we didn't care for was the mattress. My husband and I like our beds FIRM, and this one was way too soft. The on-site laundry room has two washers and two dryers, and it was pretty hectic trying to do laundry when others were using the machine as well. All of that said, I would stay here again but not for a long length of time (unless I paid for a larger room). We noted it was our anniversary, and nothing was said upon checkin - and we weren't given a larger room, even though we had a high status as Marriott members. Those factors, plus the lack of storage, are why I didn't give a full five stars. I do hope this hotel does well since the only other good one in town is the Hampton. The location of this Courtyard is prime, and you're within five minutes of downtown, Tech, and restaurants.

When I checked out I was charged a pet cleaning fee for my service dog which was not supposed to be charged. When I saw it on my receipt I was told it was a charge that would fall off well it never did. I also was charged for drinks to my room which I was told they would credit back and they re charged me. I have been calling for 4 days trying to talk to Jessica the manager and no call back.
