Best Western MLK st Lake Charles

I chose this hotel bec of good review but this is old hotel. Was hard to open door, had to change rm bec thermostat not working but eventually did. Changed rm. Aircon ok. Bathroom needs to be remodeled - shower curtain needs to be replaced. Paper towel hotel rusty. Replace bathtub faucet - very difficult to determine hot/cold. Needs Bleach spray cleaner for corners of tub. It's brown not white. All towels need to be replace. Very thin & not too white. Bed pillows very uncomfortable. Breakfast not up to par w other Best Western.

Most of this property was nice except one major thing. We found a few roaches in our room. One in the bathroom and one in the main room. That scared my wife.

Nice and comfortable

Beds were comfortable and a nice place to stay. Rosie (front desk clerk) was very welcoming. She was able to extend our stay for one more night, which we did not plan. All was nice, just would like to see a little more effort put into the complimentary breakfast. Also, hotel was not far from the Golden Nugget casino. Other than that, I would stay at this place again!

Checking was good. We arrived a few minutes early and was able to get in our room. The commode handle was broken. Our door did not lock from the inside. The bab was pretty comfortable and everything was pretty clean. It was a musky smell. I guess it was due to the old carpet. Overall, it was okay, we just went there to sleep.

Receptionist that works nights threatens to fight you if you ask for any help. Didn’t want to let me speak to a manger for 3 days. Feces on toilet paper at check in. And overflowing toilets.
