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 Casino 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!

New bathtub & fixtures with new nice shower head

Well lit and near our destination

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.

Upon arrival we checked in 2 rooms 1 for my boys & 1 for me and my spouse & the lady that served us Amanda was amazing. After no Amanda the service was disappointedly unacceptable. I paid for a 3 night stay and I was the housekeeper for me and my boys room. There's hardly no housekeeping, both refrigerators didn't work, I had to get out for towels daily plus bath tissue. On the web it states there's a suite with a full kitchen plus rooms that's not true if they did before those hurricanes they need to remove them off the web being there's none their. It also states free breakfast there's none available not even coffee. Each time I needed something we had to ring a bell and take through a window. In kinder the only breakfast spots are McDonald's service their is horrible. They have breakfast at Sonic's other wise you have to go to the casino and pay $14 for eggs, grits, toast, & or bacon/sausage. Thank God for the bucket market grocery store it's the only reliable place to shop beside family dollar & dollar general. Getting bk to the rooms if you don't put your trash or dirty towels outside the door it's no inside service. Only 1 roll tissue was in the room had to walk to the desk and ask for a roll. It's the worst stay I've ever experienced in my life and it's just my opinion I should've been refunded some of my $$$ back for such horrible services.

They said pet friendly but the manager complained about my dog barking and made us move to a trashier room. The towes that were given to us werestained. And basically dirty and they chased me around asking about payment for their pet fee of $15 a day..Once I paid it the hot water was turned on before that it was only cold water running..The room had dead and aluve bugs in it and there was 2 dirty plateson top of the microwave from previous tennant..which means they dont clean or disinfect the rooms. When I asked for a refund the 1st night the rude ladyat the front said I would have to get it from expedia..ofcourse thats their scam..they get you stuck at that rat hole. Ifonot reccommend anyone ever staying here at all..Please go somewhere else!

On Thursday the hot water had no pressure but was cleared up on Friday. That was the only problem while I was there.

It was way better then the reviews!

Hotel staff was friendly and helpful. The bed was firm but not unbearable. The shower was amazing! Quite area.

Completely remodeled motel. Very comfortable bed and pillows to rest after playing poker at the nearby casino

Service was great, polite and friendly staff. Recent renovations large, clean room

Room still under construction. No microwave

It was mostly good the only problem was nobody was in the office on Saturday or Sunday

It sucked. Old run down motel and unfriendly people working there

There is a train track across the street and when it came by it was loud and blowing the whistle. Never saw any of the employees. The person that checked us in was hidden behind a dark tinted glass. No breakfast which we thought we were supposed to get.

Nice little place. Appeared to be recently remodeled.

Disregard the rating that Hotels.com assigns to my review. I would give the Kinder Inn a 6/10. There are many "exceptional" and "excellent" reviews on the Hotels.com site for this hotel. It isn't those; but the Kinder Inn is a decent hotel at a bargain price. The good: Relatively clean room; no bad smells; no insects/bugs. Minus the occasional train that passes through Kinder, this Inn was relatively quiet. The room/bed was comfortable and there had been a number of furniture and finish improvements to the room. The bad: A lot of the finishing work on the rooms and property is not completed. (There was a wire hanging from the bathroom light. Not all of the interior design coordinates or is completed. Parking lot still under construction.) The bath tub drain wasn't completely free. There were smudges on walls and doors. No coffee-maker. No shampoo. Soap of poor quality.

Very clean. Wood laminate floors so extra clean. Still a little construction in the parking lot, as they are remodeling the building next door. But no noise, and great staff.

This hotel is terrible !! I had an overnight stay booked .... the bed had dead bugs on the mattress the bedding was filth ... told the person in the office I wanted a refund and was offered a different room ... that room was worse the smell of mildew was overwhelming.... asked for a refund they refused the refund because it was booked thru hotels.com ... I left and did not return !! I lost the money I spent on this room .... do yourselves a favor do not stay here stay someplace else .... don't even book a room with these people thru hotels.com you will hate the room and won't get your money back from the hotel or thru hotels.com .... I will never book another room using hotels.com or this particular hotel ....

Stay service was good The distance threw me off about an hour from where my destination is

Good room, hotel is just unfinished, stepping in mud and water to get to the room was disappointing. No complete parking lot, wires for TV service hanging on wall. WiFi and TV working intermittently. Down most of the stay.

Was a pleasant surprise when I opened the door to our room. They have remodeled and updated the rooms! The room was so nice and clean!! Very impressed with housekeeping! Owner and staff very friendly too. Hopefully they can update their website soon as they have older pictures on there. Definitely would book here at Kinder Inn again.

I’ve stayed in a lot of motels hotels over my time and I have never stayed in one it didn’t it didn’t have closets there was no place to hang anything no hook on the back of the closet door no hangers no nothing and I had the smallest TV I’ve ever seen in a motel anywhere for $268 for two nights you would think at least you’d have a decent size TVAnd a closet when the maids cleaned the room they didn’t even put a fresh bar of soap in there had to use the soap we had use the day before

Bed bugs!!!!

Rooms and parking lot were under construction. Our room the light were hanging by wires and min frig was out side the door

This booking was made after Hurricane Kinder Inn supposedly confirmed our booking
