Parking for motorhomes and buses is free. Wi-Fi is also free throughout the establishment. Guests particularly appreciate the easy access by car, as well as the proximity to restaurants and bars.
I had been to this location years ago, and I was quite impressed with all of the changes that have happened there.
First, the rooms have been remodeled and seemed to have been updated fairly recently. The room was clean and ready for a guest. There were 3 pillows for each queen-size bed, freshly-cleaned sheets on each bed and a clean sheet covering the bedspread, which was greatly appreciated. The bathroom and sink are a was white tile, and I we found no hair in the bathtub or sink. There were plenty of towels available for use upon our arrival. There was an iron, ironing board, wall-mounted hangers, one-cup coffee maker with 2 coffee pods and a tea pod (unfamiliar maker, and I did not attempt to drink. We are Community Coffee fans, and with this Days Inn being located in Cajun Country in Southwest Louisiana, we were hoping that they would offer Community Coffee to their guests.) There were also other amenities available. There was a disk, rolling chair, large cabinet with microwave, and above that was a large screen TV.
The parking leaves a lot to be desired. Lack of parking, by far, the biggest problem.
Also, the curtains in the room do not fully cover the light that shines into the windows at night. They are way too short. And do not fit snugly against the window, leaving almost a foot of space between the window / wall and the curtain. It was more of an annoyance than an issue. But it's very unusual for this to be the case in hotels / motels anywhere.
Had issues connected to the Wi-Fi, it would have to go outside the room to use any electronics that needed a signal.
Other than that, I was impressed with the renovations, cleanliness, and the staff were extremely friendly.
The location is actually not that bad, other than the parking lot being weirdly configured. If you pass up a spot. There's no way to get back to it unless you pull back out, go a mile around I-10 again, back into the parking lot at the beginning. It is one way.
