Pelican Inn

"DO NOT STAY AT THE PELICAN INN LOCATED IN GONZALES LA!! My fiancé has been in hospital over a week and we live 4.5 hrs away. After a week of sleeping on that couch I needed an actual bed so I decided the closest hotel would do. Unfortunately I was dead wrong. I came in room seemed clean it smelled nice I was exhausted so I climbed in the bed. So about 2:30 on 3-5-2024 I woke up to use the restroom and when I get back a massive bed bug crawled across the pillow. I killed and kept it so I could fill an incident report and get a refund and I probably would have stopped there. Only for the night lady to inform me they don’t do refunds or incident reports. I bet they did one if I trashed that disgusting room. I’m begging you please find a cleaner place to stay this was a nightmare all the way around. I’ll be contacting a lawyer to ensure they pay for my clothes and now car to be cleaned and sanitized. I’d give negative stars if I could"

"They don't clean properly.... the shower and tub are dirty!!! Soap scum mold mildew. The walls and doors are also nasty."

"I've seen a lot of bad reviews on this place. But upon checking in my room was spotless. The service was very, very good and very friendly. Yes, it's an older hotel but it has been well kept. The beds are very comfortable. For the price. You can't be better in this city."

"We had to stay here because all the reasonable price inns near New Orleans is full because of a convention. The room we were given was not able to open and the Indian dude could not even open it. He had to give us another room but he act like he does not know what he is doing and it was hard understanding him. The room had an unpleasant smell and was kind of dirty, I felt like I was going to get sick if I stayed another day there. So only stay here if you are freaking desperate."

"Only giving two stars cause the room was clean. The guy behind the desk was friendly but he was gaming and watching TV with headphones. Had to knock on the window outside the receptionist office to get his attention and his desk was littered with trash. Our room was right above the lobby/receptionist desk and all night you could hear traffic like you were outside. Cars with loud music checking in and trucks with rumbling engines checking in, like you standing outside instead of in your room. Worst sleep ever at a hotel. I even had white noise machine and it did nothing. Do not recommend if you are a light sleeper."
