Monroe Hotel & Travel Guide

A small but important city in the state of Louisiana, Monroe is where two of the biggest businesses in America got their start. Coca-Cola started its first bottling plant, which now stands as a public museum and sculpture garden. Delta Airlines started as a crop dusting service back in 1926, a heritage that led to the founding of Chennault Aviation and Military Museum of Louisiana. Take your pick from the many Monroe hotels and start exploring this historic city.

My family (wife, 2 teens) and I stayed one night as we traveled across the state. The hotel checkin felt like I was an inconvenience to the clerk. When we arrived into our room, I was thankful that we brought a can of Lysol spray. The light switches, curtains, remote and walls were filthy! It even appeared that there was bugers on the bathroom wall near the toilet. The ceiling paint was several different colors. Even though I spent time cleaning the room after a 14 hour drive, the beds were comfortable and provided an ok night of sleep. The maid service needs to spend more time cleaning. We did not shower or do anything but sleep and hit the road early. I was ultimately embarrassed that I even allowed my family to sleep here, but I could not continue to travel for another location. Wish I would have had my tent, because I would have used it. The breakfast was pre-wrapped and I found 2 that were opened and placed out anyway. Needless to say I am looking forward to a HOT shower tonight! Look for another location to sleep. My family had been on the road and in hotels for about 14 days, and I never worried about COVID except in this hotel. The MS Dept of Health needs to look at it.
