더 킨더 인(The Kinder Inn)

First, you have to talk to the office staff through a window eventhough it’s 3 pm. There is no phone in the room, wi fi does not work. No closet to hang your clothes. The towels look like rags. The refrigerator has rust inside and out, it needs to go to the garbage. The floors are new and the bathroom is newly replaced. It looks they are still renovating. The good part is it’s close to Coushatta. Just bring your own towels, bedsheets and pillow case. You get what you paid for. Liz from New Jersey

I hope it’s OK to compare it to American inn, which is a couple doors away. Kinder in is far better by the price. The floors are clean the bed is comfortable. I like the idea that there is a refrigerator that works and also a microwave. It is very basic, but for the money it’s great, it also has hot water. The place may seem a little old and outdated, but very clean and comfortable. The towels may be a little, dingy, but clean, much much better than the American inn and better than oil, which is in the same vicinity.

This past weekend we had to make an unexpected, last-minute trip to Kinder, Louisiana. It was a Sunday night, and due to the Coushatta ****** hotel being booked, we had to scramble to find lodging. The Kinder Inn popped up, so we booked it. The exterior of the hotel looked like it had been recently painted and the parking lot was well lit (a plus for us seniors). The hotel is family owned and run, and we think it’s important (especially in this financial climate) to support local “mom and pop” businesses. That being said, the good things were the room was exceptionally clean, and the bed and pillows were really comfortable! There was a mini-refrigerator and a microwave. On the “need improvement” side, there was no closet, the furniture was very dated, there was no coffee machine or bottled water provided and limited amenities. The room needs to be updated and painted but they’re doing the best they can with a huge renovation project. However, it was adequate for us, especially for the price and last-minute arrangements.

Looked like new floors were installed. Room was clean but the walls and doors need new painting. We were expecting much worse but it was a decent place to sleep. Just beware of the train, it passed at 3:00am blowing its horn and scared the daylights out of us. At least we could laugh about it the next day!

Comfortable and clean for the price.

Staff is great. Comfortable bed, hot shower, clean hardwood floors..

It was clean no bad smell just need to update on their hand towels other then that very quiet area.

We had a King room and the bed was the most comfortable bed I have slept in. And surprisingly the comforter was much better than I have come to expect from most hotels.

New bathtub & fixtures with new nice shower head
