Search hotels in Ruston, LA

I liked that the hotel was located near restaurants, shopping, banks and convenience stores. The hotel was nice and clean. Parking was free and convenient. The facility was clean and so were the facilities inside the hotel room. The only thing that I found detestable was the filthy shower curtain that appeared to have never ever been changed out. That made my showers very, very uncomfortable. But overall, my stay was pleasant. And I only said my stay was too long because I just don't like being away from home lengthy periods of time. It had nothing to do with the hotel.

Ms. Ethel is what was GREAT about the hotel. When she saw there was a problem, she took care of me and my daughter (who had just gotten out of the hospital). BUT... When arriving, the front desk lady was not welcoming nor was she interested in the fact the room was not ready. I contact customer services and they took a full statement. They ensured I would hear back from the manager that "should have been on the property". That manager has NEVER been on the property each time I have stayed (or my daughter) there.

I love that Ruston is kind of small and that it is basically a college town. I love that the businesses and the people support and assist the students from LaTech. We were there to take senior pictures before my daughter and her boyfriend graduate in May. Ruston has tons of awesome looking murals to take pictures in front of as well as several bulldog statues that have been painted or decorated in some way. Each one is unique and artistically decorated by students from LaTech. Downtown is within walking distance of the college. Ruston is designed in a block format, so it is fairly easy to get around, just watch the one ways. It also has plenty of eating places to choose from, and it is only 30 minutes down the road Monroe.

We visited the Military Museum. It was amazing. The gentleman was passionate about sharing memorabilia and the history of our military forces. There was so much to see, and it was most interesting. We were there to watch baseball trials at LA Tech. It is a beautiful campus and we enjoyed the area.

I was only in Ruston to get my granddaughter settled in her dorm at college. To that end it was a success. I like the feel and overall atmosphere of the town and were I younger could actually see myself living here. Getting around was very easy using my 5 year old car's GPS. Didn't particularly like the distance I had to travel for some of my favorite department stores (Target) and the airport but I could get used to it if I had to. The only other thing I really didn't like is how early some services shut down ie Walmart/Walmart gas station and some eateries.

There's Louisiana Tech. There aren't any main stores for shopping. We tried to find a neck tie for my son's graduation and went to 6 stores and couldn't find a single store that had a selection of ties! The only nice thing was a little coffee shop 2 miles from the hotel. There was one very nice Restaurant we went to Beau Vines. We had dinner for my son's graduation there. Very nice atmosphere and food was excellent.
