Hotels near Black Bayou Lake National Wildlife Refuge

"I arrived at the location 1035 Martin Luther King Junior Drive @ ( Motel 6 ) in Monroe, Louisiana 71203 and was shocked of dissatisfaction. The outside of the motel was not accurate to the online listing. The front motel clerk didn’t show exceptional customer service but she did her job. I received my room key and was giving directions. I proceeded to find my room that was by the pool after driving around the whole building. I then parked by the pool and had to get out to look for my room. There wasn’t any elevators, so I proceeded up the stairs. My room was 255 I walked by it multiple times because it was not on a door placard, it was written with a sharpie marker, that was faded. I open the door to look at the room. The room was like something horrible I proceeded to the bathroom it was plain (without towels only 1 bar of motel 6 soap) and the tub was as well. I then walked to the closet and had a difficult time opening it. There was a microwave and mini fridge in the room and both seemed to be working fine. I looked behind to toilet and saw something that resembles grass, mold or algae like substance. I then realized that I was not going to stay here. I went back to the front desk and informed the clerk I wanted a refund. She was understanding and informed me that, the refund would be back on my card in 5-10 business days. I HIGHLY recommend that NO stay here if the VALUE their safety, and safety of vehicles. "

"This was the worst Comfort Suites I have ever stayed at. We had problems with the TV. The microwave didn’t work. The bath tub needs a bath mat or new gripping strips. It was slippery taking a shower. The breakfast was not like other hot breakfast. Sausage and Biscuits one day. Add bacon and eggs the next. Then back to sausage and biscuits. Waffle maker. No selection of fruit. Lobby was dirty. Outside was not well kept. "

"Sean and Rose were excellent hosts who couldn’t do enough for me throughout my stay. The parking options are fine (whilst I was able to park right outside, there’s ample other parking either side of the hotel!). My room was fantastic (including the “his and hers” shower) and the bed was extremely comfortable. The honesty bar was a lovely touch - and the roof terrace was great to have a couple of sundowners on. And breakfast this morning was excellent too! I’d highly recommend this property to anyone visiting West Monroe!"

"Great stay "

"The place looks shady but it’s a good area, restaurants next door, never had issues here. "

"Dirty bathroom and floor. Beds are hard and worn. Staff nice. Outdoor room entrance. Parking is very tight. Breakfast as usual, only hot waffles. No sausage, bacon, biscuits, gravy, no powdered eggs 😆. I knew what I signed up for, just didn't expect it to be this lame. The people in other rooms didn't seem to notice other people were sleeping. Have their party and not keeping noise down. The weekend had a lot going on with activities in the area and this hotel was far less than all the other hotels in the area. Most of the other hotels jumped their price to $200-250 per night. This hotel stayed average of 125.00 per night, Thurs-Sunday. I have been coming to Monroe for the last eight years during this weekend for bmx races. First time at this hotel, not again. I'll pay the premium for another hotel next year. In the end, it's a sub par Quality Inn. We have stayed at many Quality Inn hotels in the past that are great. Also note, this hotel is not in the greatest part of Monroe. Stay in a hotel in west Monroe. My two cents. "

"The staff were excellent. The place was very busy but they took the time to provide individual attention. Rooms are clean and very reasonable."

"Hotel smelt like weed! When we walked into the lobby our eyes started watering. When we gotnto our room it was worse. The day after when we checked out of a non smoking room we were informed we were going put on a smoking floor and had to put up with the smell of weed."

"Staff was nice. Bed was comfortable. Wasn’t a five star hotel but the price was great. The room was clean and quiet. Had a microwave and fridge. Check in was quick. Had no complaints!"
