told ya ... lol thats ridiculous. hollywood showed 139, im going to stay at laquinta on preston in bossier city.

 

BEST WESTERN ON NORTH MARKET

 

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!

 

great, now the bad ____ comes out. i booked my room at that best western already.

 

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?

 

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!!!!!!!!

 

 

where is it at? im trying to find a good place myself

my uncle is checking with his friend in shreveport on where to stay.

 

he did say that the new holiday inn express on 546 (off i-49 and 220) was a good area

 

so whats the deal?
where is everyone staying at?
I want to go somewheres where everyone is going to be staying at.

C1rcu1t,
Who all is rollin up with you?

 

chateau best western or clarion is what I recomend

 

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

 

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.

 

good luck.

 

ok well they had a problem with my reservation transfer...so i am staying at bw chateau. thank god bc i looked up crime data for shreveport. jeff i should have never doubted your judgement. here is the link for the crime info by district in jan 2007.

=)

 

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.
