Bally’s Shreveport Casino and Hotel
Old room, old appliances. Nothing works. Not even room service. No way to communicate with the front desk. Terrible stay for $400+/night. I feel robbed.

Holiday Inn Express & Suites Shreveport - Downtown by IHG
This is an odd Holiday Inn Express. In the common areas all the walls are stark white with little decoration. The room was typical but the toilet rocked. They tried to glue it down but it obviously needs to be pulled up and a new wax seal.
