The Best Cheap Hotels to Book in Shreveport, Louisiana
Shreveport, the third-largest city in Louisiana, is steeped in American history. It was founded after Captain Henry Shreve made the Red River navigable in the late 1830s, and a town sprung up on its banks. After World War II, the city’s revival came in the form of casinos on the riverfront, which remain popular today. Here’s our pick of the best cheap hotels in Shreveport, bookable through Culture Trip.
Hilton Shreveport, for rooftop views
Hotel
Sometimes, we just want the basics; cozy, clean rooms (complete with Cuisinart coffee machines) and a rooftop pool with sprawling views over the city. The Hilton Shreveport offers just that. There’s a happy hour every day at the River & Rye bar, where you can catch a game on the big screen. It is also conveniently located near the Shreveport Convention Center and is within walking distance of many of the casinos.
Remington Suite Hotel & Spa, for one-of-a-kind amenities
Hotel
Positioned between three of the most famous casinos in Shreveport – Margaritaville Resort, Sam’s and Eldorado Casino – and Spring Street Historical Museum, the Remington Suite Hotel & Spa was once a pharmacy, later converted into a swanky hotel – complete with the “Gerard Butler Movie Theater” and fully-stocked, wood-paneled bar. Each bathroom offers a jetted tub and even better, your room has comfy bathrobes and king-sized beds with firm mattresses for a good night’s rest.
La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham, for easy airport access
Suite Hotel
At the La Quinta Inn, get away from the crowds in the city center and explore Shreveport’s other attractions, such as the American Rose Center (which contains 65 individual areas that demonstrate how these sweet-smelling blooms can be grown at home), the R.W. Norton Art Gallery, or an exhibit at Sci-Port Louisiana’s Science Center. La Quinta also has thoughtful extras like pillow-top mattresses for a peaceful slumber, and you can recharge with their breakfast that includes homemade waffles.
Hampton Inn Shreveport Airport, for breakfast-on-the-go
Chain Hotel
The comfy king-sized beds guarantee some well-deserved rest at this inn. It’s also ideal for the busy traveler, with their complimentary fruit bowl and hot breakfast along with breakfast-on-the-go options as there are few dining options nearby. Within a twenty-minute drive, you can visit the CenturyLink Center or Barksdale Air Force Base. Ten minutes takes you to the city center, and all the restaurants, casinos and riverside strolls it has to offer.
Residence Inn Shreveport Airport, for pet-friendly digs
Suite Hotel
You and your canine companion will be greeted with true Southern Shreveport hospitality, thanks to the friendly staff. The Residence Inn offers studios and one- and two-bedroom suites equipped with a kitchen (including full-sized fridge, microwave, cooktop, and dishwasher) and amenities, such as a fitness center and outdoor pool, that one would need for a comfortable stay. Want to meet your fellow residents? Evening socials, complete with cold beers, take place on the regular.
Hilton Garden Inn, for harmony with nature
Chain Hotel
It’s not only the front garden that radiates shades of bright green. At the aptly-named Hilton Garden Inn, the interiors are decked with plants creating a natural, airy feel as you walk into the lobby. Once you check into the hotel, you’ll find the rooms kitted out with Keurig coffee makers, Pacific Coast Down pillows, and comforters with soft, 250-thread count bed sheets. If you can drag yourself away from the bed, stop by the restaurant for a substantial free breakfast.
Comfort Suites Shreveport West I-20, for thoughtful amenities
Hotel
This conveniently-located cheap hotel in Shreveport offers a valet cleaning service, pillow-top mattresses, and several accessibility facilities such as a roll-in shower and a visual doorbell alert. Furthermore, if you’re traveling with a large vehicle, it features bus and truck parking facilities. In terms of recreation, there’s a heated indoor pool and a fitness center on site. For golf enthusiasts, Westwood Golf Course is about 3mi (5km) away.
Best Western Plus Airport Inn & Suites, for a great location
Hotel
As only a Best Western can, this hotel provides a simple-yet-effective stay and quick access to most of the city’s attractions along the Red River. You’ll be drawn to the colorful lobby and its stripey sofas, before heading up to your well-equipped room, which comes with a microwave, fridge, and comfy beds with pillow-top mattresses. The next day, a full American breakfast awaits, but maybe wait until after you’ve had a long soak in the heated indoor pool and hot tub.
Sam's Town Hotel & Casino, for a taste of gambling
Hotel
This 23-story casino is located on the banks of the Red River, in one of the best locations in the city. Get your game on in the 19th-century dockside paddle steamer, featuring slot machines and table games such as poker and blackjack. Gambling not your bag? Treat yourself to a spa treatment, tuck into a filet mignon at William B’s steakhouse, or watch a local artist in concert with a cocktail in your hand.
