BEST WESTERN ON NORTH MARKET

x_rayted711

LOL...I wouldn't even stop for gas on North Market....But to each his own!

There are some desent hotels off I-20 at exit 10. There is a cracker barrel, walmart, gas and several newer hotels there...plus, it's right off I-20 and I-220, which is a good place to be to get to Red River Raceway easily!

c1rcu1t

how about monkhouse drive? come on guys where are the good areas? i hear stay east of 1-49, stay downtown, dont stay in shreveport, etc.

Is the Clarion a good place to stay at?

x_rayted711

Stay away from:

I-20 and Jewella
I-20 and Hearne
I-20 and Monkhouse MAY not be TOO bad, but don't head too far north (away from I-20)
Anything near Greenwood Rd.

Please keep in mind that I haven't lived in Shreveport in 4-5 years (and for good reason...) So these areas may be a LOT better than they were.

I-20 and Pines (exit 10) Lot of hotels, good area
Downtown Casino area...Lot of hotels, food, parking, nightlife (bars close at 6AM!!!), close to I-20 and easy to get around.

Check websites for rates...as mentioned before, some may be pricey.

PLEASE anyone in Shreveport/Bossier, fill us in on where or where NOT to stay!!!!!!!!

chateau best western or clarion is what I recomend

c1rcu1t

man, the choices, the headaches...lol i was told that the rvierwalk(casino area) was THE best place, but anywhere else in downtown was bad. about greenwood rd, it travels parallel to i-20, any specific area of greenwood? ive already booked at bw richmond suites on the airport side (south) of i20

c1rcu1t

ok i just got conformation. my uncles friend just called me, he said that richmond suites is in a good area. he said they have security and cameras and it is well lit. so i guess i made a good move.

c1rcu1t

Downtown riverwalk (casino) area doesn't seem too bad compared to the other areas listed...

Honestly, If I were to stay there it would be off Pines and I-20 OR one of the Casinos....Take my advice or leave it. You have a risk anywhere you stay, but I have been continually listing a few of the better NEWER CLEANER places and to no avail. Good luck to all that decide on this. I wish there was more help from those that LIVE THERE.
