Holiday Inn Shreveport Downtown

I have stayed in a lot of holiday inn's before, and this one was the worst
I stayed.
I will not stay at this one again. The staff was friendly, but cleanliness was not one of their strong points.

Rooms were nice, but overpriced. Wanted to stay an extra 2 days and price jumped $40. Staff extremely courteous and cleaning people very conscientious. Restaurant left a lot to be desired, food was not good. Prices varied by whoever was at the register. one day, 1 breakfast and extra coffee to go was approx $9.50. Next day, 3 breakfasts and 2 coffees to go was $5.00. Evening meal was a torture with orders coming out one at a time about 15 minutes apart. With 3 of us eating, the first served was finished long before the 3rd person was ever served. read more

Hotel is older from the outside, but rooms have been updated and are clean. Very nice on the inside. Pool area is nice, but not very large. Short distance from gaming boats, Sam's Town & El Dorado, but not within walking distance. Cabs are $5 one way. Train tracks are next to the hotel and the train comes through all night.

This hotel was clean and the staff was friendly. Everything looked up to date.

The hotel was in a good location, near the freeway. I had to change rooms because the room they gave stunk so bad. They were very courteous about letting me change, no questions asked. The room that we did end up staying in was allot smaller than the first room. It was supposed to have a River view, and did not. Also, their were trains running at all hours of the day that kept us up at night. And, our room stunk too, just not as bad as the first one. Plus, the bathroom was small. read more

Not ever going to stay in that hotel again. Hotel was in a great location being right on the river and 5 min drive from boardwalk but poor and almost depressing view. Room was not what I expected for the price, Ive stayed in rooms that cost 1/3 of that one and was twice the room. Entire 4th floor needs refurbishing.

The Good: Rooms where clean and the staff was very friendly and helpful. Very close to several casino's. The Bad: Pool was not working and the Train tracks where right next to the hotel and the parking is terrible.

Location was great, front desk staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was nice but could have been a little cleaner.

With the price and the name Holiday Inn, I expected more. Our room was right beside the elevators, (really noisy) which wasn't working some of the time. One day the cleaning lady didn't even clean our room, and the room was on the small size for a king, the restroom was really small. The staff was very helpful and nice.
