Here’s a polished and enhanced version of your review, rewritten in the voice of an experienced travel blogger:

Cloud 9 Sleeping

Date of Stay: September 2025 Location: La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham, Broussard, Louisiana Room Type: King Bed Room – Non-Smoking Weather: Hot and Humid

First Impressions

Tucked just south of Lafayette Regional Airport, the La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Broussard is exactly what it sets out to be: a no-frills, comfortable place to rest your head. What it lacks in resort-style amenities, it makes up for with peace, quiet, and—most importantly—an outstanding mattress. I’ve stayed in five-star properties across Asia, yet this bed held its own against the best of them.

The property is simple but functional, with complimentary parking, a vending machine for late-night snacks, and a Waffle House just 500 feet away (think of it as the Spirit Airlines of food—basic, but it gets the job done). The check-in was smooth and efficient, with friendly staff who kept the process quick. For a hotel in the three-star category, it punches above its weight in the sleep department.

Transportation & Parking

I drove in from Dallas with a rental car, which made exploring Broussard and Lafayette seamless. Free parking is a huge plus, especially for road trippers.

Room & Accommodations

The King Room was spotless and comfortably furnished. The bed, again, deserves its own shout-out for being plush and supportive. The room included a flat-screen TV, coffee maker, refrigerator, iron and ironing board—everything you’d expect at this tier. The bathroom came stocked with towels and toiletries, though I did notice the absence of extras like complimentary bottled water and spare blankets. Breakfast was included, albeit basic.

Location & Surroundings

Don’t expect much beyond an “airport-adjacent” vibe. While the immediate area isn’t brimming with attractions, restaurants and stores are nearby if you need a quick bite or essentials. This is a place to rest, not to linger.

Staff & Service

The staff were polite and efficient. Check-in and check-out were handled without a hitch, and any small requests were met with a smile.

Value for Money

At the current pricing, the value feels borderline. A sweet spot would be closer to \

70–\\

Observations & Recommendations

If management expanded the breakfast selection just slightly—perhaps by adding fresh fruit, yogurt, or a hot item or two—it would go a long way in enhancing the guest experience. That said, if restful sleep is your top priority, this hotel delivers better than most.

Final Takeaway: A three-star hotel with a five-star mattress. Come for the rest,...

I frequently stay at hotels but this was the absolute worse, the check in lady was so rude, during check In she answered the phone and had a 5 minute conversation with another worker discussing schedule of next employee and the number of shifts he or she is working, 2 minutes into the call another employee walked up to the other desk to play on her phone finally when the other employee finished the conversation with her maid she said to the other employee oh I thought you were getting him, she hands me my room key and says no amenities are included , I inquired about a closed breakfast like the previous hotel and with what the website says, not apology nothing, she doesn’t tell me room number anything about elevator location, WiFi information nothing, finally I ask about room and she says it’s on the front of the card and I say ok they normally tell this and location and her response is this is not the place, as I walked by I also notice the workout room closed, we booked directly through you their website not a 3rd party, update and adjust your price accordingly, hire courteous staff, we are extremely disappointed with service and the fact that we were not notified that no amenities were to be included in our stay, if things have been changed with your location include this on what you advertise and for the love of God it takes zero dollars to be nice, we will NEVER stay here again! Update after writing this post after check in, the plot thickens, our television remote didn’t work, so we call the front desk, the lady named Theressa tells my wife just reset the cable box, and was about to hang up and my wife was like hang on we don’t know where or how to do this, finally we got to watch tv that night and then the next am, we attempt to get ice only to be told they were out, As we told the lady at the front desk after waiting for the people In front of us who were complaining about their issues, the front desk lady told us it is currently being resold or taken over by the bank, stay away from this place, awful and not worth the money or headaches, they need to advertise all these deficiencies, it’s no wonder why they are experiencing these financial troubles, from Checkin to check out, a complete mess! Stay away! We are not difficult to please as we stayed at a hotel 30 miles away the previous week, completely different and the staff were...

Hotel is being renovated, has been since prior to our stay 4-5 months ago. Unless you’re on the 2nd floor. Bathroom door & closet door don’t close. Highly irritating with the closet as it opens into the bathroom. Room was clean. Staff is incredibly rude & inappropriate. Upon check in, I was told I canceled my 3 night rsvp the prior day at 7a”. When I corrected her, that in fact did not, gave her my email confirmation of rsvp, asked for the cancellation number & reminded her 7a would of been less then the 24 hour policy, instead I called at 11p as we’d been stuck in traffic for several hours & still 3 states away, but we will be there 9/13, the person whom I spoke to said it’s too late to cancel but would note that we’re arriving for the rest of our stay. Kaitlyn told me “hun that was me. I didn’t speak to you, in the 4 years I been workin here I never told anyone that.” Later in the evening a member of house keeping told us when we were walking our dogs “can’t have y’all smoking & drinking out here. Gotta be so many feet from the building”…..as she herself has a cigarette. This state requires 25ft, which we clearly were….I don’t smoke & was drinking water. Several items missing from our room, tv remote, towels….told we’d have to wait for house keeping to arrive in the morning. We’ve stayed here several times over the years, will never be back. I understand things happen, rsvp mix ups. Out right rude & arrogant is not acceptable. Corporate management was notified. **update. 9/14. While conducting business, Christie called me. Wanted to discuss this review, offered…’offered’ to refund today if we wanted to leave. I declined to discuss it & declined refund at this time. Instead that we’d discuss when we returned shortly. Upon returning she informed my husband we were being asked to leave due to the negative review. We had words, she handled being confronted well, as I asked for corporate numbers (which should be posted & are not) she told me I can get it off of google. I will be emailing them...
