Alexandria Airport Hotels from NZ$79 (AEX)

"the customer service was outstanding! "

"Ease to highway and safe environment "

"We booked this room at the Candlewood Suites, IHG property, in Alexandria, LA, through Expedia. On Expedia, it said it was "pet-friendly", this is what I was searching. Upon check-in, they inform me that there is a $100 pet fee! Really, not posted on the website, "we're under IHG management now", is the explanation. We have stayed in pet-friendly hotels before, way nicer than this one, and have never paid a $100 pet fee; it's always been $25-$45. I refused to sign whatever paperwork they wanted for the pet, never read it, but does it even matter, no! Upon check out, they had to get the manager, flagged my room, still being charged the $100 fee. I asked, does it matter what size dog, mine if <10 lbs, doesn't matter what size dog. Does it matter if it sheds, mine does not shed, no, it doesn't matter. I should have taken all my dogs, the little one and the 2 big dogs that do shed., and are outside dogs. It's ridiculous how this is not explained at time of reservation. If it would not have been so late at night, I would have cancelled the room. I will NEVER book through Expedia again, or book at a IHG managed hotel. I'll go through the actual website of the hotel. As far as cleanliness, it was clean, but outdated and old. The light in the bathroom had lots of rust on it, so not sure if it's stays very humid in the rooms or if they previously had water issues. Also, the rooms still have carpet, from the pictures online, their rooms had flooring. "

"Great place! Great price! Right next to I 49."

"The room was fine for the most part, someone stole all the dishes and the trash can and there was fresh food still all over the microwave as well as empty bottles under the couch from the people before, the floor was pretty dusty too, however I talked to staff and got it fixed very quickly, staff were super friendly, it really was a nice little room for the price and having a stove top was great for cooking small meals, house keeping was quick and kept everything topped up as far as towels and trash bags go, there was a few dead crickets under the bed and the bathroom sink but I never saw anything that was alive, only other thing was the walls are very thin, so you can hear everything outside and above you late at night"
