I had a great experience!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 06/10/09
You had to drive through a neighborHOOD that will make you think twice about where you booked a hotel. Once you get there you'll find yourself right smack in the middle of the beautiful historic district. Keep in mind this is a simple no frills hotel. It's clean, safe and affordable with a friendly staff. I would recommend this hotel to anyone staying in the area.
 
 
 
 
 
Don't waste your money
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 09/03/08
Charged for services I did not receive. I followed their reservation cancellation policy and tried to contact them from 2:30-4:30 and no one at the location answered the phone. I also attempted to cancel online. They finally did "accept" my cancellation, but they charged my credit card anyway. No where close to our destination of L'Auberge contrary to mapquest information.

Waste of Money!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 08/06/06
One of the first things I noticed when we got into our room is that we were paying way too much money for this place. We paid $85 for a room which had a dirty carpet, no smoke alarm, dirty bathroom, and many other things. I could not walk bare foot on the carpet because it felt so dirty. It also would not have surprised me if the sheets had not been washed because it had that dirty feel as well. Where the smoke alarm should have been, there were just hanging wires. The bathroom sink handles were full of some kind of crud. The toilet got stopped up. The light right outside of the bathroom had dirt in it, which you could see because it was a flat light that was not all the way in place. Our room was also missing a chain lock; it was set up for one but there was no chain. The bolt lock would not even close all the way into the door which made me feel uncomfortable. If we ever have to stay overnight in Lake Charles again, I will not even consider this hotel. My husband and I were just ready to get out of there in the morning. Trust me, it is not worth the $85.

For the Value

This place is decent and a very good place to stay if you are looking for a resonable price...the area is older but it a downtown. Very friendly... will stay again.

Scary dirty
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 03/13/05
The service was mediocre. When I asked for an extra pillow it took about an hour for me to get one. I was told they couldn't find an extra pillow and that is why it took so long. The front desk was being worked by a teenager on a cell phone that was less than attentive. The location was convenient but that is the only positive. As far as the state of the room it was dirty. The walls were missing paint in areas for example the bathroom door was missing paint. The walls and baseboards had dirt on them. There was construction debris on the shelves. Worse of all the vent in the bathroom was caked with mold and dust. (I have pictures if you are interested.) I found it all very disturbing. We called Yahoo Travel and were told we could check out and would receive a refund for the unused portion of our stay. I feel the Yahoo represented this Hotel as a higher start rating than it should have. I understand that for a certain price range you can't have it all but I do expect a clean room that I feel comfortable sleeping in with my 6 month old daughter. Thank You. Mr. and Mrs. Whedon
