Shreveport Hotels with Airport pickup service

Our last experience should have been our final but, we decided to give our former beloved Eldorado ****** a second chance. When reservations were made it was implied there had been some good changes to the property. It was not true. Updates and upkeep is apparently not on the agenda. The rooms remain outdated. They were just dirty and I am talking “deep dirty” that has been ignored far too long. Here are just a few examples of my hotel room experience. I spilled a glass of water and grabbed a towel to blot it up and in a matter of seconds the towel had large brown stains on it. The brown stains are left up to the imagination of what it came from. The last night of our stay my door would not open. I found housekeeping staff member to try their master key and was told the door was broken. After two phone calls to the front desk, I was put in another room and was told I was being upgraded to a suite. I could've cared less if I had an upgraded room or not. I only needed a room to sleep a few hours and the common decency of the staff in expressing their regrets that the BLASTED door couldn't be fixed. It was of no surprise the suite had not been updated and dust was prominent everywhere. We are living in epidemic times and most hotel properties have protocols in place and abide by them to ensure their guest safety. The restaurant food was not horrible. The main problem we would select an option only to learn they didn’t have it. In addition we were told they had not had selection for some time. During our stay, the steakhouse was not open. The gift shop has limited hours. The spa has limited hours and limited massage therapists. The staff at the spa were efficient and welcoming. I generally play slots vs table games. There were only a limited number of slots than what they have had in the past. Most of the slot machines were old and several machines had signs on them as inoperable. If you are a smoker there is no smoking inside the property per city ordinance. They are in process of building a “Patio” that was advertised on the flyer we received in the mail but, it has not been completed. The whole environment of this property is OFF. To say some of the staff were not customer service oriented would seem to be an exaggeration, I assure you it is not. With the name change one might think the property has been revamped. It is not. If management doesn’t get it up to the standards that most guests/players have come to expect, the outlook for this property is grim.

We checked in on the 13th and checked out the following morning. In the process of checking out, the young lady asked if we ordered any sundries. On my surprise, I told her we ordered NOTHING. I received the receipt and otherwise all was good. Until I checked my card account, which reflects 9.97 on hold on my debit card. They apparently found a way to get more money. We are, or maybe were regular guests there. That's questionable now.

We had the worth check in expensive I have ever had in my life. The agent was extremely rude to my wife. Verbally threatened her and then threatened to call the police on her. We were in town for a funeral and he said our names were not on the reservation. She showed the email from IHG that confirmed the reservation and later I also confirmed with the corporate office we were listed. He said he didn’t care what the reservation said and also said he didn’t give a f that we were there for a funeral. I attempted to contact the management at the location as I was not in the lobby when this occurred and the front desk agent identified him self as the manager and told me to and I quote circle my a** back to the hotel if I had a problem with how he spoke to my wife. We will never stay with IHG again. After reading other reviews this experience is common at this location. I am filing a police report. Contacting the local news and have made a complaint with the corporate office. The agents name was David or Davis. To be a hospitality establishment there was none offer period. The hotel is also run down and dated.
