Hotels Near Northside Plaza in Slidell

Checked into a room while traveling on business to work on some paperwork & to take a short nap before getting back on the road. I was at the hotel for 5 hours (from 10:40am - 3:50pm).Was charged $50 extra dollars just because I arrived in the morning & not what they consider ”check in time” (I was a walk-in, not a reservation)! I was VERY DISAPPOINTED at that. I don't understand what the point is in paying $50 extra! Other than that, the room was clean, BUT... the bathroom smelled like it had been cleaned with dirty water & urine (not happy about that!). The 5 hours that I spent at the hotel was quiet tho (only about 12 cars in the parking lot) so I guess I should be thankful that I was able to get some work done & nap for an hour before getting back on the road.

This hotel was exactly what we were looking for. The parking lot was well lit, the rooms were clean and comfortable. Best of all was the HOT breakfast every morning! Thank you for a wonderful stay!

The location was conveniently located just off the highway (no noise other than the garbage truck picking up the dumpster), and fantastic for the Mardi Gras parade route in Slidell (within walking distance) as well as several restaurants and a grocery. It's a great mid-point location when you plan to be making trips to New Orleans and Bay St. Louis. Unfortunately, we were not greeted as I would have expected at the front desk during any of our interactions. The gentleman was not rude, he simply didn't come across as welcoming or friendly, and at no time did he smile. We did appreciate him moving us to a king bed as opposed to 2 queens when our kids did not come with us. Once in our room our immediate concern was the smell and greasy/slippery floor (and I mean everywhere!). It was a bad first impression to say the least. A call was made to the front desk but being late at night we understood it would be morning before our room was addressed, but we tried to look at it from the point of ”you get what you pay for”. We were not offered an alternate room at this time. We got back into the car (after a 12 hour drive) and went out to purchase Febreeze and house slippers (photos were taken of the bottom of our slippers). The following morning we happened to see the housekeeping supervisor on our way out who was pleasant and listened to our concerns. As it happened, she was carrying a clipboard (I believe) and stated she had received our message from the previous night and was on her way to our room. She also offered to move us to another room. It was my opinion if this was how housekeeping cleaned our room it was how they cleaned every room so we made the decision to hold off on moving and give them a chance to clean the room properly. Upon our return we found the room to have been cleaned very well. We never mentioned the loose toilet seat to anyone (should've been obvious when it was last cleaned). In addition to the smell and floor there was a long black hair in the tub which later had me wondering if the room had been truly cleaned since the last customer checked out. Eww.. :/ The bed was very hard (that could simply be a personal preference of course) and the pillows were terribly flat so I would recommend you bring a couple from home. Luckily we had the forethought to bring a small coffee maker as one was not provided in the room (pretty standard to get one these days). As a former resident of Slidell I'm always sad to leave, but will admit I was looking forward to returning to the clean surroundings and comfort of home. We stayed a total 4 nights and one of the days we were there the housekeeper just opened the door and walked in without knocking before I was even dressed for the morning. I was standing rather close to the door and am certain there were NO knock, so of course it scared me when the door opened right out of nowhere prompting me to yell ”get out!!” assuming someone was just trying to get into our room. However, let me add that in

Complete facilities, good

Booked two nights on points. Absolutely one of the best, fast and efficient check-in we've experienced. Hotel room very clean, kind of a unique setup but nothing crazy. Cell phone charging capable on both sides of the bed. Bed really comfortable. Loved the EXTRA luggage rack over the wall AC unit. Small frig and microwave in the room. Easy access in and out of the building with multiple key access exterior doors. The Exercise room was HUGE and had multiple machines/items to use. (Extra towels available in the wk-out room) At least twenty restaurants within two miles of the property. Hotel area and neighborhood very safe. Newer apartments/condos w/ garages surrounded by decorative iron fences border the property. Less than three minutes from freeway access. ONLY knock is the swimming pool size is small.
