Review for Best Western Mardi Gras Hotel & Casino Review For Best Western Mardi Gras Hotel & Casino Google User Jul 10 '16 at 7:14 The room itself was ok, bet was comfortable enough, and the shower worked but the shower head wasn't attached to the wall. Nothing special. The bar is entirely too close to and visible from the front desk. The entire lobby/bar/front desk reeks of smoke, the staff at the front desk seemed distracted, over worked and frazzled. Peak hours should have more than 1 person at the front desk. Outside stairways and walkways are not maintained or adequately lit for safety. View full site to comment or like
