I was born and raised in Minden and came back for a funeral. This hotel is in great shape! It is nearly 50 years old and is a small piece of history in N. Louisiana. The new owner, Kenny, takes such good care of the place. At first, I was skeptical of the $52 price tag for a Tuesday. But, now I see it is because the new owners have made alot of renovations and they are encouraging folks to come and stay here. This place used to be a disaster in decades past. Now, even the landscaping is well maintained and it is definitely completely safe now too! They have ripped out the nasty carpet and put luxury plank flooring in. All new trendy, comfy furniture from IKEA. Corian bathrooms and sink areas with new toilets, showers, etc. Rooms have microwave and fridge, but no coffee maker or hair dryer. However, there is a coffee maker up front, along with cereal and milk in the side fridge in the lobby. We stayed in room 127. It was right next to ice machine, vending machine, swimming pool and laundry machine. It was very quiet during our stay. In 85% humidity Louisiana, keeping the humidity out of the room while using the AC units is a challenge! But, the room AC we had did a great job of keeping us comfortable all night long. While BW, Holiday Inn and one other sit all right here on the same 4 corners, they're like $30-60 more a night and very little extra to show for it. I have stayed in that BW before during a family reunion and...yuck. I will absolutely be staying here again! Highly recommend. read more
