Heading up there in a few weeks with my gf and looking for a nice place to stay. Havent been in years so Im not sure if the scene has changed any. I understand that there are several casinos but I havent heard anything about hotels attached. Doesnt have to be at a casino per se, just don't want to sleep with roaches. Thanks.

1. Hilton Downtown
2. Remington Suites
3. Horseshoe
4. Margaritaville - though the casino floor is MUCH better than anywhere else in town.
5. El Dorado
6. There is no six.

ETA: for a concert in Bossier I change my vote to Margaritaville. Good cab service and better bars/restaurants in the casino than the others.

I've always been satisfied with the Hilton downtown. Generally it's a great value for the money since they have to compete with the casinos. Request a room with a river view.

Hilton Downtown is a sham. I know bc I worked there...

Multiple floors of no hot water on any given night.

Remington is awesome!

Hilton downtown is pretty nice, but I usually stay in crappy places for work so my idea of nice is not very high. It has a pretty cool little sports bar that serves food.

Boomtown always messes up our reservations so we quit staying there.

Horseshoe casino or whatever, non smoking room smelled like smoke and 24 hour sports bar that was supposed to serve food 24 hours did not. We quit staying there as well.

We're actually going to be in Bossier for a concert, so Id like to keep it close, but anywhere is fine.

Hilton Garden Inn or Homewood in Bossier. Both are new, nice and reasonably priced. The Remmington Suites downtown is also very nice.

I've never stayed there, but I hear mixed reviews on Hilton Downtown. I have tried their restaurant, and it is meh and slow.

A group who recently spent many weeks in Shreveport on a work project started at the Hilton but switched to Margaritaville.

I joked that I could see why with the casino and food to offer them at night. They it wasn't that because they didn't gamble and usually worked at night. They said the Hilton had issues from bad smells to lack of responsiveness to complaints.

Holiday Inn and Chateau Suites downtown Shreveport are near the switch tracks. Holiday Inn recently persuaded the city to close a street that crossed the track, so the trains don't have to blow the whistle there anymore. They say you can still hear the rumble of the train in some rooms, but it is much better.
