HOLIDAY INN EXPRESS & SUITES WEST MONROE ^{* *}

As already noted the hotel needs a renovation. Very noisy due to some sort of music venue nearby. Security is lacking. I walked in, past an empty front desk and used the elevator without the need for a key. Anybody can walk in off the street and access the room floors.
Reply; I am still in your hotel at the time of your reply and if there is no music venue nearby you have either loud neighbors or cars in your parking lot blaring music.

Very mediocre holiday inn, it is desperately in need of updates, everything in the hotel is dingy and not very clean. There was only one person working at the desk, so if they get called off to help a guest, it leaves everyone at the counter standing there waiting for way too long. The sheets on the bed were new. However, the comforter is old, raggedy, and dingy. The room I stayed in has a broken toilet seat, the smoke detecter is about to fall off the ceiling, the bathtub doesn't drain very well at all so when you shower you are left standing in dirty water, I had to ask twice to get my fridge replaced, the first time they replaced it with another one that freezes everything, finally they put what I believe is a new one in, the AC unit doesn't cool the room at all, I wake up several times a night becuase it's way to warm in the room. There is no parking each night when we get back becuase there is not enough spots for the hotel. The shower curtain has stains. There is so much dust build up on the wall it looks fuzzy. The ice machine is broken......

Good clean, quiet rooms

Awesome stay. We walked in. Front desk was very polite. Welcomeed us. Very friendly. I would highly recommend staying there again.
