We were in Shreveport to provide a program to first-year medical students at the LSU Health Sciences Center and were provided accommodations at the Holiday Inn Shreveport West. The weather was threatening, to say the least - forecasted wind, rain, snow, sleet and something called ice pellets. There were announcements on the television that many schools, including LSU, and public offices were to be closed. Everyone at the front desk, Ava, Jodi and Shay, were so reassuring, educated us about the weather forecast, assured us that we would be kept safe and, if we needed to get to LSU, they would make sure that we got there safe & sound. Ladarius picked us up at the airport and made sure we got to and from the hotel and LSU safely and comfortably. Even in these poor weather conditions, Ladarius' driving was comfortable because he drove cautiously but quite confidently. Highways were closed and even our local host was not familiar with the routes Ladarius drove, but stated that the route he used was the best way she could imagine, and she would use that route in the future in poor weather. Ava, Jodi, Shay & Ladarius were the epitome of southern hospitality.

Stayed here for a some what gala event. With my husband and 2 children. We needed a 2 room suite , that they didnt have, then after meeting with the General Manager Eric Kiddle he made it happen,,, They accually took 1 of thier meeting rooms and made it into another hotel room for our special needs.. We also had to have special dietary needs and Mr. Kiddle introduced us to his Exuctive Chef Mr. McFarland who after meeting with us went out of his way, went to the store and bought the food that we needed and prepared it just like if we were at home. For all this type of service we cannot that you folks at the Holiday Inn enough. I am sure we will be back again and again for many many years to come.. Kuddo's Mr. kiddle to you and your staff for making our trip so enjoyable ..

I am the travel coordinator for the Gulf Coast Distict of the company that I work for. In 2010 we held meetings almost one a week during the months of August, September and October. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. Anytime I needed help with something all I had to do was pick up the phone or send an email and they took care of it. Even when we needed things done on short notice they were able to make it happen. We also had multiple employees book sleeping rooms. They were also very nice and highly recommendable. If you are looking for a hotel in Shreveport this is the one!

This hotel is possibly the best place to stay in the area ,,, Made us feel just like we were at home. Friendly staff.. Great food all the meals we had were wonderful. Rooms were clean and just an overall great feeling of home town hospitality in a medium sized city. We were there for a total of 4 nights. I would reccomend this hotel for any type of stay bussiness or pleasure. All thumbs up .
