"Everything was wonderful. The staff was so helpful—all of them! The breakfast was amazing! I set my alarm to get there first. Ha! The microwave, coffeemaker, and mini fridge were all great in the room. Everything worked and I got the rest I needed. Thank you!!!"
"The Church St. Inn is in an ideal location in downtown Nachitoches, LA. It’s around the corner from the main street where all the shopping and dining takes place. With only 20 rooms, the inn has a real small time feel with coffee in the morning and wine in the afternoon. It also has a small comfy lobby to hang out in."
"Everything was perfect clean rooms. Staff with a smile. Breakfast was really good. Just need to add some bacon on the menu. Check-in was real quick and everything and everybody was just fine. We recommend others and I will be back myself."
