Saturday morning I evacuated with my foster rescue dog from New Orleans headed west. It took 11 hours to get to lake Charles LA (3 hour drive). I was fortunate to have found this last minute hotel bc I couldn’t drive anymore and there were no rooms available from New Orleans to Houston! Check in was fine. The outside looked sketchy but it was an evacuation and I wasn’t judging. I was told my dog wasn’t allowed. If he found out he said he’d charge $150. That would’ve been fine but it was the way spoken to. At a time when life is already uncertain and scary. And when lake Charles was hit twice hard last year and he should remember all too well. The room was worn, but clean and roomy. Lights were burnt out. The back of the hotel is bare and frightening. Felt unsafe. No amenities like drink or food machine, no working phone in room, no swimming pool, no dogs during evacuation, and some price gouging for a storm hitting. The bed was comfortable. I asked for an extra hour are check out but denied. I was told be out in 30 min. Not kind. Then the employee stood outside my door charging for the dog and telling me in a direct and condescending tone with an attitude. May have been language issue, or nationality differences, overall, I’m grateful for the room. I was comfortable. I got an extra 30 min late check out. And the employee only charged $50 for the dog which was a lot better than $150. Very grateful for that! That said I wouldnt stay here again by choice.
