Mechanical failure on American Airlines left us stranded in Alexandia, LA. overnight. As a favor with no vouchers except a motel room at the Holiday Inn Convention Center we stayed over to fly out the next day. Staying in a gutter would have been cleaner than room #201. A stynch that smelled of dirty diapers came from the floor, peeling... more

I don't need a big room, or a fancy room but I do need a clean room and the room was anything but clean! It was deeply dirty and the bathroom distressingly so. The toilet had a ring around the bowl that was not just a stain but actively growing. The bathroom floor was also dirty but not in a... more

I am always looking for a bargain when I travel, as I prefer spending most of my money on food, drinks, going out, etc. instead of hotel room costs when I will basically sleep and change clothes - I spend my time OUT and not sitting in the hotel room watching tv. This hotel is PERFECT if you have that... more

Before our stay -- I read some of The Reviews of Others -- and was thinking I Had made a mistake by booking a room for the weekend---? HOWEVER -- after getting there, it was one of the most Wonderful Weekends spent out of town!!! The Hotel itself was A Beautiful Place, from The CRYSTAL LIGHTING to The Lighted Hall... more

I stayed at this hotel once when I was on business in Alexandria since the Parc England was booked to capacity. Do not read the hotel description - there is absolutely nothing "Old World" about this hotel - I think they mean to say just "Old". The hotel is a dilapidated building located in the middle of the dead downtown... more

The Holiday Inn Corporation should be ashamed to have their name associated with this hotel. The hotel is in major need of renovation and cleaning. It is unacceptable that one of the two elevators has been out of service for months. Guests have to wait a long time for an empty elevator. This is especially inconvenient during check in and... more

I agree with the negative reviews on this site. First they were misleading about the free breakfast. Did not mention it was only a continental. Second, they did not have an arrangement with the local YMCA gym as advertised. Finally, the rooms were in need of renovation. I'm going back on business in a couple of weeks and do not... more

In the past I have stayed at the Holiday Inn and I have never had a problem with this Hotel. It is better to see a Hotel full with occupants,then to see a Hotel empty. I am a buisnessmen and on occasion I do buisness with the Hotel, because I have my own Taxi service and even though they have... more

This hotel was overbooked due to some conference or meeting that was going on. The manager was apologetic and offered us a free dinner, but we had to stay in smoking rooms. The worst part was when I left some materials at the hotel by accident and got no cooperation in getting them returned, in spite of several long distance... more
