Studio 6

The room is cozy but well cleaned. I’m here for about a month while closing on my house. There are three different rates: daily, weekly, and monthly. I have the weekly rate, because I leave occasionally on the weekends.
I’ve been here for eight nights now, on the second floor, and have so far seen 5 cockroaches. One was in the toilet (dead), one in the shower (eeek!!!), one on the bathroom floor, and one on the ceiling in my kitchenette. I tried to get it with a shoe, but it knew the way out and skittered under my front door and into the hall.
As other posters have said, the room smells like mildew. I even brought a plugin air freshener, and now it smells like mildew and apple cinnamon.
There is an IHOP in walking distance that smells so strongly of mildew I thought the floor was soaked in urine. I could hardly eat there.
There’s a Wal Mart Supercenter less than a mile away. Technically walking distance if you don’t have access to a vehicle.
The kitchenette is nice and newly remodeled. The bathroom is nice and clean.
They allow pets here. I’ve heard dogs barking in other rooms every day, but the owners seem to calm them down pretty quickly. There seems to be little to no sound proofing in the walls. The person above me does some sort of dancing (not sure if horizontal or vertical) every night as I’m trying to fall asleep, which is a little disturbing, and I can hear every time any door opens (including my neighbor’s fridge door).
I sleep with my large Ka Bar knife under my pillow. On a scale of 1 being least and 10 being most safe, I’m right at about a 6 here. They have a swinging latch instead of a bolt lock, which I really don’t like. As time goes on, I’ve gotten to where I can sleep the whole night through.
Pro: the coffee machine is programmable and can be used as an alarm clock (if you’re a light enough sleeper). Con: you’ll need to buy your own dish soap and scrub the heck out of it. Yuck.
One last thing: if you pay the weekly or monthly rate, you only get one cleaning per week, and it can’t be on the weekend. I tried to get a cleaning on Sunday and they denied it, even though the housekeeper was literally right next door. I wanted mine cleaned while I was in the room, not at work. Something to keep in mind.
My room is supposed to be non smoking but reeks of smoke. Additionally, people smoke elsewhere in the hotel (whether they’re supposed to or not) and it seeps through walls/​cracks. Every evening the smoke smell gets stronger and stronger as time progresses; making my eyes and throat hurt.
Update: I just called the front desk for pest control about the roaches, and they said they may or may not get to it today – they contract out and have to ask if the pest control company has an opening today. He also said they’re «not that worried» about the big roaches, because they’re «just outside roaches.» Never in my life have I heard a hotel say such a thing. I will definitely be finding somewhere else to stay starting next week. I am thoroughly disgusted.

You get what u pay for. … bed is hard And lumpy. Room has a slight oder… atleast The bathroom was clean And sheets

To whom ever this is reading, please take this post seriously as studio 6 is impossible to deal with.
I made my reservation 2 months prior through orbitz for 2 nights with 2 beds in a non smoking room because one of my friend gets really light headed around smoke. I called them 2 days before, and I called them the day before to make sure my room was booked, and they said yes, it is. I arrived 3 hours early from a 16 an hour drive with 2 of my friends, and when I came in I saw people in distress in the very small room (maybe it was a lobby, not sure) at the front. They said that my room will be ready at my check in time, and that there was no way possible to check in early. So my friends and I decided to go eat to kill time. As we come back, there is around 30 in people in that small room yelling at the receptionist, I felt bad for her. Basically there were no rooms available for people who booked rooms at that hotel. I wasn’t concerned at first because they told me my room would be ready. When the line to wait was finally over, the receptionist referred me to the manager. She told me that Orbitz overbooked, didn’t communicate with them, and that they have no room for me at the hotel. I was exhausted from our drive and the lady tells me that?! I told her that I understand how stressed and frustrated she is, but that’s not my problem and that they told us our room would be ready. She acknowledged that the woman who said that was wrong, and that would try to accommodate us in any other hotel. It was wrestlemania weekend in New Orleans, she called about about a good 15 hotels and they were all booked. She managed to get us a room at another hotel, paid by them, but it was one bed in a smoking room and it was very uncomfortable for my friends and I, but at that point we would take anything. The manager said for us to come back for following day and that they would either provide us a room by another hotel or that if there is a room at studio 6, we could stay there and we would have to pay. I get there by 12 and they said they have a room for us but they aren’t sure what time it would be ready… are you kidding me?! It seemed like they enjoyed toying around with us and their customers. This time I made sure to pay to secure a room, and they reimbursed me later for that payment. They told us that we could leave our luggage in the small room by the manager, but with the track record they were having, I couldn’t trust them. I called them at 6 and they said our room wasn’t ready, to go enjoy the city and event and not to worry. yeah, that’s funny. We come back after the event with about 50 people outside extremely mad, we basically saw Part 2 occur the next day, all these people with no hotel. I get there and the new manager for that shift was being very rude to me and just gave me another letter. That letter basically accommodated us at another hotel, which was a very nice hotel to stay at by the way. I never actually stayed at studio 6, but my experience with them was pathetic.
Cons– 2 months prior to booking, they had no rooms for us when we arrive, we were extremely stressed, they didn’t provided us with a hotel that had 2 beds or a non smoking room, they lied to us 2 days in a row that we would have a room when we arrived, they wanted us to keep our luggage there but with no card for a hotel room, again it was extremely stressing, and to top it off we never stayed at studio 6.
Let me know corporate, how are you going to apologize?

Its a decent place for what I played (about $ 68 a night). Its clean but smells a bit off. The air conditioning works and parking is good. So if your on a budget its a good place to go, but if I was willing to spare some extra cash I bet the other hotels in the area would have been better.

If you made the mistake of booking this garbage dump before you arrived in person, BEWARE. These people tried to steal $ 80 from me despite us never stepping foot in there after a cancelled online reservation (which we decided to do a mere 15 minutes after booking, being overwhelmed with all the extremely negative reviews). It took several phone calls and a few days until they finally admitted their error.
Keep a paper trail handy, because the staff here will lie through their teeth and look for any loophole possible to rip you off. We called in to cancel; the front desk assured us that there was no problem and it was already taken care of. A week later the charge was still on my account, and we called back to find out what happened. After being forced to play phone tag with customer service (they couldn’t help us because their «credit card machine was down»), we called the actual location and had the displeasure of speaking to the rudest manager I have ever come across. She was extremely condescending and seemed VERY confident that we were not entitled to a refund, but when we asked for her name so we could relay her side of the story to corporate, she chickened out and refused to give us any information.
We had to get in touch with corporate yet AGAIN and they finally were able to confirm that no, we weren’t there, and no, we didn’t violate any refund policy. They say it’ll take a week before I get any money back, but we’re keeping an eye out. I recorded the phone call, just in case they give us any more trouble.
On a positive note, we had a great experience staying in a very nice, new, pet-​friendly Microtel in Slidell. They were even $ 10 cheaper.
I STRONGLY recommend if you’re visiting New Orleans to stay overnight in less sketchy places outside of town. The city has a bad reputation for being dangerous for out-​of-​towners; unfortunately that stereotype wasn’t proven wrong in our experience.

This isn’t a fancy hotel but it is clean and the front desk staff are always friendly. I have been here for about a month for work and don’t have a single complaint.
