This hotel is a dump and should be condemned. Save your money and book another hotel

I am just finishing a 2nd 10+ day stay @ this hotel (my client's choice) & have another 10 days coming up next month (unfortunately).

To say this place has seen better days would be an understatement, but that's the nicest way I think of to say it's a dump. While the gatehouse is well kept up, the individual bungelows & units themselves are quite run-down. The building style leads to a feeling that each unit is run down, dark, dirty, & dingy, the ground floor units much more so than the 2nd floor units. There is very little natural light &, unless you like bugs, no way to get any fresh air in as they have taken most of the screen doors off. The lighting w/in the unit is very dim & even w/every light turned on, it still seems dark. While the front desk staff, for the most part, are very nice, I was quite surprised when, there were tornados in the area & the power went out one night, not a single staff person ever checked to see if I was ok; I guess they take the 'resident' part of Residence Inn literally. Soundproofing of the individual units is poor & the roar from the freeway can be bothersome @ night. Housekeeping is very much hit or miss-trash isn't collected one day, clean towels & toilet paper left sitting on the arm of the sofa another, etc-it became something of a game to see what would be done, or not done, upon returning each evening.

What a dump! Not up to the normal RI standards of Marriott. This place has been rode hard and put away sopping wet way too many times....

This is one of the old style RI layouts with little bungalow buildings of 16 "suites" per. The exterior of this place is REALLY bad and worn terribly but hasn't seen a new coat of paint for quite some time.... Dirty, smelly, in need of demolition instead of renovation.

The interiors are poorly updated.... a bit of carpet, drapery, wall paper and 20 coats of paint just make it look like an old hooker with too much make-up... closets were filthy, furniture was worn and tired.

You can surely find something nicer and newer for the same or less $$... especially if you opt to stay closer to Shreveport instead of Bossier.

Oh yeah... no WiFi in the bungalows... only very slow wired connection... at least it was free (though considering the cost of the room, it's worth it to pay elsewhere).

I just got back from Shreveport and stayed at the Residence Inn Shreveport-Airport location. They are going through a full renovation getting new carpet and furniture in all the rooms and public spaces. The colors are very vibrant and looks very modern. They are not done but, I got to peek in a room that was being renovated. I can't wait to come back in the summer to see what the finish product looks like.
