THIS POST WAS WRITTEN IN PARTNERSHIP WITH SHREVEPORT TOURISM BOARD AS PART OF A PRESS TRIP. HOWEVER, ALL OPINIONS ARE MY OWN.
Heading to Shreveport, Louisiana and looking for the best place to stay?
If so, I have a great recommendation for you! Recently, I spent an extended weekend in the city and had an awesome stay at the prime location. My hotel was nicely situated off the Louisiana Boardwalk, just steps away from restaurants, shopping and tons of entertainment.
I also love that it was in close proximity to other city staples that you will definitely want to see! The rooms are spacious, the staff is attentive, and the views are superb. So, make this your home away from home after a long day of exploring in Shreveport. Read on to see why…

4 REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD STAY AT THE COURTYARD MARRIOTT IN SHREVEPORT, LOUISIANA
The Location
When I vacation, I am all about exploring conveniently. If you’re anything like me then you are in for a real treat! This hotel allows you the convenience of never having to leave the Louisiana Boardwalk if you choose not to. There’s an ample number of restaurants, a ton of retail stores, a movie theatre, casinos and plenty of other entertainment just steps away.
You just can’t beat this location! In addition, if you choose to visit other city staples, they are all just a short drive away.
If you like to walk right out the front doors of your hotel and stroll the area, this is the place for you. If you won’t be traveling with a car this is the place for you. If you love to shop this is the place for you. If you like the serenity that comes with staring off into bodies of water, then this is the place for you.
The View
Every traveler has their favorite part about hotel rooms. Whether it’s the view, comfortable bed or sunken tub. Mine is the view! The first thing I normally do when entering my hotel room for the first time is head over to the window, pull the curtains back and catch a view. If this is your favorite part about hotel rooms too then you should not be disappointed.
The view from my hotel room on the third level was amazing! I was able to watch the sun rise and set right over the Red River. It was beautiful! It also afforded great views of the city’s skyline and the bridge connecting it all. Ask for a river view room and you should be good to go!
The Rooms
The rooms are very spacious. This was my favorite amenity! I love to stretch in the mornings and before bed at night and this room provided me with a great amount of open space to do so. There is also plenty of room to spread out and get comfortable after long days of exploring.
The living area offered a nice big love seat, ottoman, a modern TV tray, and cool lighting. It makes for the perfect place to plop down and read a book, eat a meal or work from your laptop for business travelers.
With one wall full of windows, you can’t beat the natural lighting. It’s the perfect accessory to the modern décor. The cool gray, brown and yellow tones provided a calming and relaxing atmosphere that any traveler can appreciate.
The Service
After being in my room for about five minutes, the phone rang. To my surprise it was the front desk calling to see how I liked the room and if I needed anything. It made me feel like a special guest and not like just a number. I think it’s a great display of customer service.
I also received a welcome bag upon checking in. It included a bottled water, some cheese crackers, ear plugs and some other branded items. This is also another display of great customer service in addition to the staff being very helpful.
Each day, my room was cleaned well and when passing staff in the hallways they always spoke and was very attentive. This is a hotel that I would frequent time and time again for this reason alone. I’m big on great service and the Courtyard Marriott Louisiana Boardwalk definitely fit the bill!
