Our stay at the Gators Inn could not have been better! This great little mom and pop motel is beautifully newly updated and super clean. The hospitality was exceptional! We had a problem with our TV and three different people worked on it until it was right and ready for us to watch. There’s a beautiful little bar on site that has a pool table and a few casino machines. Pot of coffee brewing in the office each morning got the day started right. Perfect choice for our visit to the LaRose French food festival less than a mile away!

We liked the fresh and clean room with updated decor, king bed, and a tap-to-open-door key card that works even in the envelope. However the room lacked expected amenities like a hair dryer, extra pillows, no blanket (just a comforter), no liquid soap in the shower dispenser, and coffee maker. The office had a half pot of coffee on the burner that tasted burnt. If these aren’t important to you, you will be with the room. We stayed in #107.

Having stayed here once before, the same issue presented itself again. Our first experience we had a homeless person approach my wife and I and ask for money and we left. This took place in evening. This experience we are leaving in morning and there is a drunken person sleeping on the bench next to the office door. We dropped the key off in the key box and we left. I came back about 30 minutes later and the person was gone. I believe the issue is an adjoining bar with the hotel. Same as leaving to go eat in evening and due to bar traffic when you return there is no place to park for motel.

If your looking for a place that’s gna serve u room service then keep driving north! If you’re looking for an extremely clean and very quiet stay then this is your place! Nit only was this place extremely clean the customer service is above and beyond! These ppl treat ya like u family coming in from out of town or old friends! I’m not even exaggerating that at all! “Mama D” was the absolute best! We laughed joked played around and she made us feel like we was the only ppl there period! Very accommodating and had us trying to figure out if we could possibly squeeze a couple more days in before heading home. Sadly we couldn’t but we will be returning and soon! Most definitely our new home away from home when we have to travel to the area! Thanks for such an amazing experience!

At first i had an issue with checking in. I didn't arrive in time before they left. I had to wait until the next day as i slept outside of the building waiting for someone to arrive. but when i got my room key and inspected the room, i was content. It was nice and clean inside. The bed was comfortable and there was brand new furniture in the room.

Really good staff, very clean. When I travel and my day is over, I like to cool off, watch local news and hear World news like Fox or CNN News but from day 1, the TV didnt work. No one from staff, management, workers including me could fix it. It was a cable box service problem. I paid for Sat, Sun and was to leave Monday but I couldnt hear or see any news or programs. I ended up leaving Sun morning and paid for another motel near Kenner, LA. No one offered me another room, and when clerk asked me about my stay there I td her about the TV. But nothing.
