It was my first time to Nola and it was a last minute trip. I wanted to have fun without hurting my pockets, so I chose this. I started receiving bad reviews from the area the moment I got in the cab after landing. Drivers even told me that they go there at night. They were right. Parking is gated, you don’t get in contact with reception because it’s gated. My anxiety went from 0 to 100. 5 am I heard a woman screaming for help, saying please call 911 he took my phone. I had to check out before my time and pay double the price in French quarter. Nobody has ever reached out for my refund or anything.
I arrived in the evening to check in and the person was not at the desk. I had to wait around until the manager showed up. My first room they offered me was not good. I discovered at 3am that the toilet did not work (would not refill with water). I tried calling the front desk and he kept saying he could not hear me (connection was bad) and hung up on me. I called with my cell phone and told him the issue. He comes in with a plunger instead and proceeds to use it (even though I told him that was not the problem). It didn't work. He looks in the toilet and could not get it to refill. He opens up the room next door to me and tells me I can use this bathroom and he will have my toilet fixed the next day while I am working. I was not about to have someone in my room all day with my stuff in it, so I transferred all my stuff at 3:30am to the room with the working toilet. Also, the original room seemed to be spewing moldy air from the air conditioner, as I woke up coughing at 3am. I did not have that problem in the new room I took over. They did change the sheets everyday, so that was nice but the floor and the sink always seemed to be dirty. I had to clean the sink myself before I would put any of my belongings on it.
All I needed was a shower and a bed. I stayed for one night in my work truck. The compound is gated and cheaper than the surrounding hotels. The room was clean. Not many people there. Quiet and no one bothered me. Helped me when I was in a bind.
The room and bathroom smelled horribly. The mattress had awful stains. The shower sprayed water everywhere. We were not provided with enough towels and rags.
The property was at the end of the road and was filled with people who looked like they were up to no goood. It was very sketchy and cost three times as much as it should have. When we opened the blind written on the inside was “c*m dump”. The bed was lumpy and looked liked it had gotten a lot of use in its lifetime. When speaking to some of the locals they were mortified that I stayed there. They it was a notorious sex motel and drug area. I was told to make sure I don’t bring home bed bugs, which were most likely there. Needless to say, I’m very disappointed and will most likely never use Expedia again. You would think your agents would look at the reviews and ratings when one orders a room via telephone. I never got the chance to look at any reviews but I can bet my last dollar that there are no good ones.
