Best Hotels near Laurel Valley Village Store, Lafourche Parish

With 5 continuous days of rain in Atlanta, I needed an escape. decided to pop down to Mardi gras in New Orleans for the weekend. However, last minute looking for hotels, found them to be extremely expensive averaging between 250 to 300 plus dollars a night. Slidell and several other adjacent towns also had expensive hotels. Found a less than $100 rate in baton rouge, but that was more than 80 miles away. Another search discovered this hotel in raceland which is about 45 miles from the City of New Orleans. However even with the best traffic it takes almost an hour to get to New Orleans from here. At night driving to the hotel makes you think you're about to drive to the other side of the Earth. it got darker as I left the city and all I saw were refineries and chemical factories. However, once I found the hotel I was pleasantly surprised. Parking Lot- Is pretty much concrete without a lot of vegetation around. But it is of an ample size to handle all of the cars that came in that night. Entrance and Lobby- Well, frankly they look like they were brand new everything had a nice shiny appearance. the front desk agent on duty was also very nice and hospitable and got me checked in very quickly. Room- This was a real good surprise. My room was long and deep with a little wall separator that had a sleeper sofa couch and additional chairs in it. From the tile to the carpet, it looks like this room was built yesterday. I saw absolutely no signs of wear and tear on the furniture. as for appliances it comes with a microwave, a coffee maker, and a small refrigerator. This room could easily sleep two adults and two kids. Bed- I had a nice queen size bed and though it wasn't super plush it was comfortable. The bathroom is not large but two people can move around in it. The only issue I have is the same one I have with most hotels, the rooms are too cold when you walk into them. I cut on the heater went downstairs and read my tablet for about 20 minutes, and when I came back the room was nice and toasty. In summary, because of its distance from New Orleans this is not a hotel that you will come in and out of several times a day. It is one of those where you leave in the morning do all of your activities and then come back for the 50 minute drive late at night to your hotel. Because of the special event pricing of the hotels in New Orleans, I can easily say this hotel was half the price and just as good or slightly better than some I have stayed at in New Orleans before near the airport. So yes, I do recommend it as long as you do not mind the long drive from here back to the City of New Orleans. if you know you are going to be going in and out of your hotel frequently each day, then I would suggest a hotel closer to the city such as the ones near New Orleans international airport. Their prices in the past have been comparable, when there was no special event. attached are some photographs that I took with my tablet so you can see what the

I booked two rooms with king beds and received email confirmations. The app would only let me check in one of the rooms with 2 queens instead of 1 king. When I asked about this at the desk, the woman gave me a stream of nonsense. First she said it was because I had booked with a third party but I had booked on the Hilton website. Then she said it was because they had sold out of kings a week ago, but I had made my reservation three weeks earlier. Finally she gave up and just said they were full and hoped I'd be happy anyways. Breakfast was better than at most Hampton Inns, with omelets, potatoes and sausages. The room had horrible lighting, with low wattage CFL bulbs and a missing bulb. The only place really bright enough to read would have been standing at the bathroom sink. I had to move the nightstand to plug something in and it was filthy behind it, so clearly the room had not had a deep clean in a long time. On the plus side, there were enough towels, there was bar soap, and while the HVAC unit was really noisy it did work properly with the thermostat to keep the room at a comfortable temperature.

The people in the facility are amazing. All the way to the point that they cook hot fresh cookies every night. My guys tend to enjoy them pretty good. I am a 1st floor kinda guy. And they have always accommodated.. Rooms are clean! Water is Hot! And the A/C blows Cold! Nothing else is necessary!

I enjoyed my stay. Everything was clean. The staff was friendly and helpful.

We crashed here the night before our flight back home. Area not bad and just a few miles from multiple food locations that felt safe. 5 minute drive to rental car drop off Very clean. Lots of breakfast options including hot food, pancake machine with toppings. I even liked that they had the little tubs of coffee cream in hazelnut and french vanilla. Comfortable sleep. I also like that the soaps/lotion/hair products are adhered to the wall and no more trail sizes. All Dove brand. Highly recommend this as a hotel to sleep at the night before a flight.
