DO NOT STAY HERE. stayed here for two days for the Taylor Swift concert and immediately the staff was so rude. They told me that they never got paid from Expedia, which was a lie so she charged me twice. the rooms reeked of Pine-Sol to the point where it would make you seriously nauseous. There was weird goo on the wall and cockroaches in the bathroom, and I do have video. the sink in the bathroom didn’t drain and the toilet would randomly stop flushing. The worst of it all was the smell of Pine-sol. It was so humid in the room and smelled like a basement. I had chest congestion for a week after staying there. Still trying to get it figured out to get my money back from being charged twice. It almost seems like the front desk was looking to make extra money claiming that Expedia never paid them.

We booked a room 2 months in advance. Arrive to check in and they state that the room has been canceled, but it was still showing on the expedia app as booked. I asked the owner who was checking us in if there were any other rooms available (tswift was in town and limited lodging available) and he stated he had to see if anyone canceled. he then told me yes they had a room, but it would be double the price we originally booked for. 10 hours from home with nowhere else to stay, we agreed to the room even if they wouldn’t give us the original price. a minute later i got a notification on expedia that our reservation had been canceled. the whole situation was suspicious. other than that, the room had clean linen. but walls are paper thin and not the nicest part of town.

Staff was very nice but the bathroom had a bunch of nats and holes in the walls. There was glue dripping down the door and had a old humid smell entering the room.

My sister and I booked a room here for the Eras Tour and found out day of stay they had bumped us. We received no notification from the hotel. We called to confirm and that’s how we found out that we did not have a room. The lady I spoke to was rude and unhelpful.

Overbooked location and cancelled peoples reservations without telling them before or after they did it. Got there late at night and they told us it was cancelled but did not say why. Expedia called them to find out why and they said overbooking. Had to find another hotel fast.

The ECONOLODGE in Gretna Louisiana was terrible. The room was not cleaned nor prepared for anyone’s arrival. There was a towel left on the sink, soap was left on the rim on the shower, toilet paper wasn’t refilled, nor was there a coffee pot. The staff was rude and charged us more for our Labrador. This is not a place I would stay at nor recommend anyone to stay at.
