The staff and the manager were awesome at this location!! Very friendly and on top of things. The free breakfast was very good. The place was very clean and the beds were comfortable. We were a little disappointed when we got there and the pool and the hot tub area was under construction. It is too bad they couldn't place a temporary notification on their sites stating this was going on. Either way, we really enjoyed our stay and will continue to stay in Sleep Inn's and if we are in this area again, we will stay in this particular one.

We have stayed here before and it was great. The only draw back was the elevator was out when we first arrived so we had to go up 3 flights with bags but it was fixed by morning. TV options are not great but okay. But it’s 2.5 miles from kids place so it’s very convenient. We will definitely stay again.

Nice room with a comfortable bed, TV. Shower water pressure was just OK, not great, and it took a long time for the shower to heat up. Good breakfast with several hot options (waffles, scrambled eggs, sausage, biscuits and gravy) and a nice spread of other food (yogurt, toast, etc), fresh juice and hot beverages, including hot cocoa. Pool was warm and hot tub was hot and in nice working condition. There were plenty of towels in the pool room. We didn't end up using the fitness center but it looked nice. Hotel is right off the highway and there was a nice Mexican restaurant just a couple of minutes away by car. We would stay here again.

I was disappointed because the only reason I chose this hotel was the indoor pool, but it was being renovated and wasn’t available. I wish it would’ve said that I I wouldn’t have stayed there. Was really bummed about it!

The hotel was ok until we got to our room. We had dead bed bugs inside of the drawers and had them crawling around the room. We went to tell the front desk and they seemed annoyed. They came up to the room to take pictures of the bugs and moved us rooms. The new room was dirty as well but no bugs. If we didnt just drive 8 hours we would have left. We dont expect much from jotels but at the very least they should be clean. We will not be going to another Sleep Inn

The hotel was fine. It was obviously an older hotel that the remodeled but it still feels like it could use some improvements. Breakfast was good, employees were nice. There was no water pressure and it took a very long time for the water to heat up. We even had to take Luke warm showers because the hot water was depleted. The location was good, close to fast food and restaurants and shopping.

Hotel was clean and beds were comfortable. However the noise from the highway is horrible. It was like trying to sleep at the race track. There were a few annoying things like the shower head didn't work correctly it was either a mist or a hard stream and the wifi wouldn't connect. I believe there are better hotels for the money.

Nice property overall. Staff was very friendly. The rooms were showing a bit of wear, and the hotel itself felt old but with newish rooms. Free breakfast was good! The only disappointment was the bed. It felt like sleeping on a piece of plywood. Very firm and not comfortable. Overall though my stay was a good one

Pros: close to everything, breakfast was a pleasant surprise, beds and pillows comfortable, staff extremely friendly and helpful, rooms clean, A/C works amazingly! Cons: interstate noise is constant(bring a noise machine!), no smart TV’s (wish we could have had a streaming option), shower needs a bleach detail in the grout/caulk lines Will stay here again to visit our son at LA Tech

The breakfast area was expertly run by two awesome ladies that kept the area refreshed and expertly clean. Clearly everyone here really respects each other and cares about the visitors. Thank you!

While on a family road trip across the country, we stayed at the Sleep Inn in Ruston, Louisiana. After having stayed at a subpar hotel in Texas the night before, this hotel was a breath of fresh air. Not only was the property clean and modern, the staff were excellent at their jobs. The service was so great, especially in a time where service has gone out the window. I ended up accidentally leaving my laptop at the hotel, and when the cleaning staff found it, we were already an hour down the road. They called and were so very helpful, even going so far as to ship it to me in Georgia within days, and at no cost to me. I would stay there again in a heartbeat. Now, having stayed in lots of different hotels for the last 2 weeks, including a very expensive beach resort in Florida, I can honestly say the Sleep Inn in Ruston is at the top of my list for cleanliness, convenience, comfort and service. Thank you to Renee and her staff!

The room was spacious and comfortable. The clerk was friendly. The hotel is starting to show its age with dark lighting and some stains on the carpet but it was clean. The breakfast was a disappointment. The biscuits and sausage were either old or over cooked as they were hard around the edges. Overall I’d give it an 8 out of 9 because it was clean, comfortable and reasonably priced.
