Sleep Inn & Suites Ruston Near University

In my opinion, this is the best hotel in the area.

It was fine. There were typical maintenance issues because people bang suitcases into doorways in ways they wouldn’t at their own home. The rusty looking spots at the very bottom of the bathroom door frame (room 301) are seen at many hotels, across many chains. That doesn’t make me like it any better, but it’s not something specific for this hotel or chain. It’s Louisiana, it’s humid as hell, I’m glad the bed was fairly comfortable and the a/c was cold. We had five pillows, but they seemed kid size, not queen size. There was a comfy chair and mini fridge and microwave, so you were able to have some waters and not have to just sit on the bed. Closet space was standard. I don’t remember seeing a safe though. Breakfast was the usual. Both mornings there were some apples and bananas, scrambled eggs, little sausage patties, biscuits (very dense!), coffee/tea, juice, milk, cereal, a waffle iron (FYI- the four small ones come out better than the larger), yogurt, bagels, some mini muffins and pastries, lots of condiments. You can definitely figure out a way to get something in your belly. The water pressure in the bathroom could have been better. It was meh. After moving my child into university, a REAL shower would have been more appreciated than just getting wet. And this particular hotel gave us a coupon for dinner at the restaurant next door, so it was used and appreciated. The staff was excellent. Ruston is a sweet gem of a place. I’ll be back plenty over the next few years.

I stayed here for two nights during Louisiana Tech move-in. Overall, I had a good stay and would give it 4 out of 5 stars. The room was clean and comfortable, and I really didn’t have any issues. My room key stopped working once, but the gentleman at the front desk fixed it immediately. He mentioned it may have been from keeping the key close to my phone, but either way, it was handled quickly and wasn’t a problem. Breakfast was pretty good overall. The only thing I didn’t care for was the waffle it had a slightly sour or different taste compared to the waffles I’ve had at other hotels, so I didn’t finish it. Everything else was fine. Overall, it was a comfortable and convenient stay, especially for Louisiana Tech move-in. I would stay here again.

The bed was hard. The bathroom was dirty. The shower curtain had visible dirt on it. Stains on the carpet and food spots on the walls.

The stay was great. Very clean and staff was friendly. Close to everything we needed.
