Des Arc Vacation Packages

Rather loud. Thankfully the next room didn't keep the TV on extremely late

The hotel itself is in good condition and the room was very nice. Just what I expected from the Capital. The staff at the hotel was good. However, the bartender was an absolute joke. I ate at the bar bc I wanted to eat and go to bed as I was tired. But, the bartender was paying no attention, I asked for a napkin 3 times and still have not seen it. If I knew his name I would give him a negative number. I had to ask for a menu, had to remind him of my drink order. Gumbo was lukewarm. He gave me the bill for the couple next to me. I made him give me my bill. Paid it still without a napkin. In the morning, the restaurant was not open but they finally opened it about 20 minutes late and there was no one in it. Sausage was raw and eggs were not hot. Food and restaurant service was horrible at best. I could run it better and I definitely do not know how to run a restaurant, but my son is a trained chef and hotelier with a degree from an Ivy League school. He is out of that business due to COVID and working for a gaming company now so I have seen it from both sides. Just bad!

Place was fine for one night. I was traveling alone and didn’t need anything but a decent bed. It was clean and nicely kept. My concerns include the thin walls adding to the noise resulting in loss of sleep. The other concern is the busy traffic pattern, it’s hard to get in and out of the parking lot at times. Not bad for the price.

The TV is too low to enjoy eatching from bed. Gym closed.
