Hotel Studio 6 Suites Shreveport, LA Industrial Loop (Shreveport, USA)

According to many travellers, this motel's location just off highway I-20 west of Shreveport offered easy access for drivers. Furthermore, the out-of-town location was close to petrol stations and roadside eateries. Motorists were also glad there was free parking. The proximity of the freeway reportedly enabled easy access to sports venues, casinos, industrial areas, golf courses, theme parks and military sites in the area.

The unpretentious rooms were reportedly nothing fancy but were reasonably clean and more than adequately spacious and comfortable for a quick stay. Several guests remarked that they found the motel relatively quiet, especially in rooms not facing the main road. Budget-minded reviewers frequently felt they got fair bang for their buck due to the usually inexpensive room prices.

Guests widely praised the pleasant, obliging and efficient personnel, saying they experienced good customer service and a hassle-free check-in. Animal owners appreciated the pet-friendly policy.

There were occasional claims that some of the rooms could have done with updating to address maintenance grumbles over old TVs with small displays, dated decor, aging mattresses, cigarette burns and ineffective air-conditioning. Cleanliness issues reported included litter left behind by previous occupants, stained bedding and dirty bedroom floors.

Lingering smoky odours and stale smells proved to be off-putting for travellers in several rooms. Critics also claimed they were sometimes undersupplied with towels. The lack of little extras in the rooms such as fridges, microwaves, hairdryers and shampoo came as a disappointment to several visitors. Some guests wished breakfast had been available too.

Paying for Wi-Fi access proved unpopular with travellers, who often said they felt the service should have been provided as a freebie.
