Hotel Sleep Inn & Suites I-20 (Shreveport, USA)

There's a great welcome from friendly and helpful staff. This gets the visit off to a good start. It doesn't disappoint from thereon in; rooms are nicely decorated and clean and the facilities, including the pool, are really very appealing.

There's a track nearby leading in to Burlington North Santa Fe railway station but ... possibly depending on the location of your room ... there is no noise intrusion to speak of.

The indoor pool is really attractive and it's well worth noting the standard of breakfast which is really appetizing and impressive.

Rooms at the rear of the hotel are the closest to the rail track and trains run at all times of the day ... and night! Light 'sleepers' (!!) will benefit from specifying a room to the front of the building.

There's no real noise factor here relating to neighboring guests and lack of sound insulation, but surely, the 'closers' on corridor fire doors and those leading to and in the rooms, could have been 'cushioned' rather than slamming closed? As it is, this noise is a real pain.

The bathroom, in particular, but extending to the carpets throughout; is a source of conclusive evidence of an excessive amount of hair originating from previous guests. Cleaning staff need a wakeup call.
