OYO Hotel DeRidder Hwy 171 North

The only thing to like was the lady at the front desk. This was a waste of money to stay here. I’ve stayed in bad places before but this one takes the crown. When you pull up the parking lot is cracked and grass is growing from out of the fissures. When we opened the door, the room smelled like a chain smokers convention just left a few minutes before we got there. All of our clothes, my wife’s CPAP machine, all wreaked of an ashtray, lingering after we got home. The walls had holes in them all over. The refrigerator was a hideous garage sale find Bud Light fridge that Dylan Mulvaney threw out after his failed commercials. There was a used wash cloth draped over the shower curtain. The bath towels had holes all in them like rats had chewed them to make a nest which I’m sure was somewhere in this room. The tv was sorta hanging on the wall with wires draping down. There was a chair in the corner that had what looked like a red sheet draped over it to hide the mold underneath. There was maybe 5 squares of toilet paper, this was how I knew about the lady at the front desk being so nice, I had to go get a new roll. I do NOT recommend staying here unless you came from an Alabama trailer park on the bad side of Walker County, maybe then it would seem ok. Seriously, bypass this place, it’s horrible and their are no refunds. There is a giant sign when you walk in the office so they can point at it after you go see your room and come back in wanting your money back. Expedia let me down

Showed up and no one came to front desk so I never got to check in and now they making me wait three days for a refund

Please dont waste your $ so h got there no towels went down oh they are coming next morning no towels went don’t and beat on window until someone let me in asked for them he got them we showered then we start seeing the cock roaches coming out ! Never ever stay here Walls can not been cleaned in who knows how long

The pillows were quite nice. We had no guests close to us, so the rooms were quiet.

The rooms were hot, the keys quit working (only there 2 days), the lights in the bathroom didn’t work, the tv didn’t work, the blankets on the beds were quite thin. A smoker passed by my room frequently (I am allergic) and woke me several times. There was no coffee service in the room, and no cups. Since I was prepared, I had an extra weighted blanket, a coffee maker, several bottles of water, and emergency lighting.

Location and clean...a coffee pot would have made better!!

Not having coffee pot and more towels in room

Close to work location, felt safe, bed and pillows were quite comfortable and the AC worked really well.

Did not have the advertised continental breakfast, no in room coffee, this is a bare minimum room, a huge disappointment for price. No internet, the connection was so weak couldn't even open email. This place is grossly over priced. Just a place to sleep, not enough towels for two people to take a shower. No place to put suitcases, had to use the chair or floor.

Courteous staff

DeRider OYO Motel *Front clerk failed to return my ID. I did not realize until after I was out of town * No phone in the room * Curtain rod broken * No plate in microwave to put food on the spin while heating up * No way to call the front desk. Only a corporate number and robo answering machine 😡 * Absolutely NO ONE at the front desk for check out. Rang the bell and waited. No answer. So I have no closed out receipt, no evidence of returned deposit. VERY POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE. I'LL NOT STAY AT THIS MOTEL AGAIN.
