6/10 Good

Hotel was nice but dated. Shower was pretty nice the bedroom wasn't as clean as you would hope. The bed and pillows slept good and the noise of the hotel overall wasn't bad. I will be staying there again in the future every month with business.

10/10 Exceptional

Service was impeccable! Our room was clean and ready at check-in. I reserved a room with the whirlpool tub, The whirlpool jets were not working but the huge tub was still amazing! There was plenty of parking space. The casino is a little crowded, but there was a concert beforehand where we got $10 in free credit to play, so that was to be expected. It is very smokey. We ate at The Spotted horse. Our waitress was amazing and so was the food. The sweet potato mash is like a dessert in itself.

Evangeline Downs is the best property in Opelousas, hands down. I would rather stay there every time we're there. The rooms are great, they're clean, and there's not a lot of people hanging around. Every one is going about their businesss.
