OYO Hotel Bossier City LA - Red River

"Don’t stay here. Seriously gross. The rooms are nasty and dirty. Hey OYO, don’t bother responding to this. I will never be back. Whomever is writing the responses to peoples reviews on here, you have to go to this location before you start replying blindly. Yuck!"

"A Nightmare in the Shadows: Avoid This Unfit Hotel at All Costs I recently had the unfortunate experience of staying at a hotel that can only be described as a nightmarish abyss of filth and despair. I wouldn't wish this place upon my worst enemy. From the moment I set foot in this decrepit establishment, I knew I had made a grave mistake. Let's start with the walls, or should I say "graffiti canvases." They were covered in grime, stains, and mysterious substances that left me questioning the concept of cleanliness altogether. It was as if the idea of a fresh coat of paint had never crossed the management's mind. The lack of basic hygiene standards was not only revolting but also a clear indication of the overall neglect that permeated every inch of the property. Now, let's talk about the lights, or rather the complete absence thereof. It seemed that the concept of illumination was a foreign one to the hotel's management. The flickering fluorescent bulbs and dimly lit corridors created an eerie ambiance that would make even the bravest souls feel uneasy. I felt like I was trapped in a horror movie, desperately searching for a way out. But the true horror show began when I discovered unwelcome guests scurrying across the grimy floors and walls. Yes, I'm talking about roaches. These repulsive creatures seemed to have taken up permanent residence in the hotel, and they had no qualms about making their presence known. It was a constant battle to keep them at bay, and their presence only added to the overall sense of disgust and unease. To make matters worse, the hotel was located in a crime-infested area that felt 100% unsafe. Stepping outside the hotel's doors meant entering a world of danger and uncertainty. I wouldn't dare venture out alone after dark, and even during daylight hours, I couldn't shake the feeling of being constantly watched. It was an environment that no traveler should ever find themselves in. As if the appalling conditions weren't enough, the hotel staff's attitude towards guest satisfaction was equally abysmal. When I requested a refund due to the unbearable conditions, they did everything in their power to avoid returning my hard-earned money. Their lack of professionalism and disregard for customer service only added insult to injury. Furthermore, it's worth noting that using a service like Priceline will not come to your rescue in such situations. They proved to be utterly useless in helping me obtain a refund or find alternative accommodation. So, my advice to fellow travelers is to steer clear of this hotel and avoid relying on third-party services that won't have your back. In conclusion, this hotel is a festering pit of despair, where dirty walls, dysfunctional lights, roaches, and an unsafe location converge to create an experience that borders on the surreal. Save yourself the agony and choose a different accommodation option. Your sanity, safety, and wallet will thank you."

"The location is perfect We have stayed here before it was Oyo and it was great. I loved it, but this trip specifically was not the rooms were bad. They were bugs. I had specifically asked at check-in for a bottom room. I was told that there were none available even though my mom is not able to climb stairs then, whenever I walked into the first room, there were holes in the wall. There was just a lot of bad things in the room like the bed was coming apart there was trash in the floor. The sink and bathtub had not been cleaned. So we go back down let them know show them the pictures and then he proceeds to provide me a bottom room, which really was not any better than the first room, but it was late and we were tired"

"The TV in the room did not work and was placed on the dresser instead of being hung on the wall where the TV mount was. There were no lightbulbs in any of the standing lights. Only the bathroom and small side room had working lights because they were fixtures and weren't able to be stolen. There was black mold in the upper corner of the shower, in the upper corner right outside the bathroom near the mirror and by the AC unit as well. There was a giant hole in the bottom of the bathroom door and what appeared to be termites crawling around it. There were several cockroaches that I killed during my stay. The room had 1 sheet and no other blankets so we were lucky we brought a warm blanket. The bed sheet had a giant rip in it. The towels smelled old and musty. There was only 1 washcloth and 2 towels but none were hung up or placed neatly.The housekeeping didn't show up for a day or 2 and when she did, I moved as fast as possible to get dressed and open the door for her but she was already 6 rooms away. I could also barely understand what she was saying due to her accent and the fact that I was only half awake. By the time I got fully dressed, I had to ask the main desk where the laundry room was. To get the clean towels, I had to walk all the way around the building to the back area to find the housekeeping room. No clean washcloths were provided. I tried extended my stay through customer service first. The man on the telephone was extremely nice and courteous but I was having issues opening the link he sent me so I had to walk down to the office to pay. When I got there, the manager told me to come back downstairs and pay in the morning. He seemed to be too lazy to take my money. The next morning, I went down to pay and a customer and employee were arguing so loudly in the office about something to do with dog pee and a stolen cage. In the midst of their argument, she took my card and I had asked her for 2 nights instead of 1 since I wouldn't be able to get my greyhound bus until the next day. I repeatedly held up 2 fingers trying to remind her that I needed 2 nights and she charged me for 1 night and gave me a Do Not Disturb sign. The next morning, before checkout time and with the given Do Not Disturb sign on the door, a big man who didn't even look like he was affiliated with the motel came POUNDING on the door telling me that I needed to come out. I told him I needed a minute to get dressed. Less than 10 seconds later, he was pounding again saying that he would call the police if I didn't come out. At this point, I had been there for about a week and every day had been paid on time. My bus was delayed and I then planned on staying for an extra night but when I arrived downstairs, the manager was again so rude, unprofessional and ignorant that I ended up calling an Lyft to get to the Greyhound station a full 16 hours ahead of time. When my Lyft arrived, he told me he had picked up guests before and if the Lyft was standing too long, the manager would come out and get angry for an Lyft ride being there. I left there as fast as possible only to find out how treacherous the Greyhound station was. Immediately, a security guard yelled at the Lyft driver for pulling in the parking lot the correct way based on the one-way signs. He was trying to accommodate me as I had a couple very heavy bags with me. There were innumerable homeless men asking for cigarettes and change. If 1 didn't get any, the next would try a minute later. As a young female, my entire time in Shreveport Louisiana was absolutely terrifying. I would never wish my experience there upon my worst enemy."

"If I could give negative stars I would. By far the most disturbing and disgusting room I have ever walked into. There was holes everywhere, mold in the bathroom, roaches EVERYWHERE, holes and stains on the bed and the walls, and the smell when you walk in was unbelievable. The front door was barely standing. In the little side table there were cigarette ends and baggies with who knows what still inside and liquor still left in the mini fridge that also had a horrible smell coming from the inside. We left immediately. Unsafe and very unhealthy. The entire place needs to be condemned!"
