What guests think

Guests describe SureStay Plus by Best Western St. James Donaldsonville as convenient for plantation visits and overnight stays, with many noting friendly front‑desk service and some quiet, comfortable rooms, but reviews also flag inconsistent cleanliness and hit‑or‑miss breakfast quality.

Cleanliness feedback ranges from very clean rooms and common areas to reports of dirt, mildew and mold, odors, and unclean bedding or towels. Room quality is mixed too, with mentions of spacious or recently updated rooms and good TV selection, alongside very firm mattresses, weak water pressure or cold showers, and long curtains blocking AC airflow. While many interactions are positive, some guests experienced missed towel deliveries, unhelpful responses or attitude at the desk, change concerns, and one report of missing property. A practical choice for brief stays if you can accept some inconsistencies.

I requested someone come and mop the floor because it looked dirty. The receptionist told us it was stained, but clean. Someone didn't clean the floor because we could see dirt and dead bugs. The carpet wasn't cleaned either. The curtains were too long and were getting in the way of the air conditioner thereby blocking the air flow. The walls were stained in the bathroom, you could see hand prints. One of the bedcovers had the same kind of dirt. The ice bucket had mold in it. The room smelled like mildew so we asked to be moved but according to the receptionist, the manager said the room was clean enough. We will never stay there again. The receptionist was nice, though. We did ask for extra blankets and a pillow.

Staff welcomed guests with un sanitary bedding, clean sheets were asked for and not received. Visible dirt/ hair on pillows and in sheets. Room service was not complete and damp towels were given out, more than 1 towel could not be given out due to laundry not being done during the day.

Front desk was especially friendly. Room was very clean and looked recently renovated. TV had a ton of cable channels kind of like what you have at home. Only negative I can think of is water pressure is a bit weak. They offer complimentary hot breakfast, but I didn’t make it each morning. Keep up the nice work.

The room was clean and comfortable. There were no towels, extra toilet paper or Kleenex in the room. Had to go to front desk for these items. Bath items were sample size. Breakfast had limited items. Waffles were good. Went downstairs at 7:30 a.m. and there were not a lot of options available.

Great location right off of frontage rd. Easy access to all of the plantations. Hotel was quite, beds were comfortable and staff were friendly. Lots of petri chemical plants along the Mississippi. Lots of petro workers stay there and we always felt safe. Breakfast was the biggest disappointment. Continental at best with cold powdered eggs and cold sausage that was microwaved. Not many restaurants near by. Would stay here again for the convenience, but would skip the breakfast.
