¡Kenner, cerca del Aeropuerto! ➡️ ¡El Red Roof Inn te espera!
¡Ay, Dios mío! Okay, so we're talking about the Red Roof Inn near the Airport in Kenner, Louisiana. Let's get real, folks. This isn't the Ritz, but hey, sometimes you just need a place to crash, especially when you're stuck in the airport vortex (been there, done that, got the delayed flight t-shirt).
¡Kenner, cerca del Aeropuerto! ➡️ ¡El Red Roof Inn te espera! – Let's see if it's actually waiting and worth it.
First Impressions & Getting There (La Lucha Inicial)
Accessibility? ¡Sí! The website says it, and thank goodness. After a nightmare connecting flight where they misplaced my luggage, I am fully on the side of good accessibility. Wheelchair accessible is a big thumbs up for me. And, as a bonus, Airport Transfer can be a lifesaver when you're running on fumes. Car park [free of charge] is a huge win too – who likes paying extra, especially when you're budget-conscious after a delayed flight and two $15 airport coffees?!
Internet & Staying Connected (La Conexión, ¡Por Favor!)
Okay, let's cut to the chase: Free Wi-Fi in all the rooms! is the MVP of the hotel. Especially important since Internet is required for everything. Internet access itself is standard now, but I needed to check email and update my social media, so it worked. The Wi-Fi speed felt slightly variable, like a slow dance with your browser, so keep that in mind, but it's good. There’s also Internet [LAN] which feels very 2003.
Cleanliness, Safety & That "Fresh Sheets" Feeling (¡Limpieza y Seguridad! - Hopefully.)
This is where I get a little neurotic, but it's important. Cleanliness and safety are top priorities! Thank god they have Anti-viral cleaning products, Daily disinfection in common areas, and it's REALLY comforting to see Staff trained in safety protocol. They even have Hand sanitizer everywhere, and that's a good sign. They give you options to opt-out of room sanitization. I noticed Rooms sanitized between stays and a Safe dining setup, it felt a little less 'Germ Central' than some hotels, and to be honest, that’s a big relief after a long flight! I did not see a doctor/nurse on call, but it’s still good.
The Room – Your Temporary Fortress (Mi Cuarto – ¡Mi Refugio!)
Okay, let’s talk about the room. The basics are there. Air conditioning (essential in Louisiana, duh!), Blackout curtains (thank you, sweet baby Jesus!), and a Desk (for when you have to do that email). I could not care less about a Bathroom phone. The Coffee/tea maker and Refrigerator are major conveniences, especially if your flight was delayed, and you could not have proper meal.
The things I specifically looked for:
- Extra long bed: Okay, so my legs are long. I'm tall. The bed was OK. Could have been a bit longer, okay?
- Complimentary tea: A surprise bonus! A good moment to relax.
- Satellite/cable channels: Always handy when you're bored.
- Wake-up service: Always a lifesaver for early flights.
About the amenities!!
- Things to do, ways to relax: Okay, this is where it gets a little…sparse. The Fitness center is there, but I didn't use it, it seems a bit basic. There's a Swimming pool [outdoor], which is great if you have time… I didn’t. The Pool with view? Not that I saw.
- Breakfast: Breakfast [buffet] is okay. Breakfast in room is available, I didn't try it. Vegetarian restaurant is there, but not that exciting. I needed to wake up, so I just grabbed Coffee/tea in restaurant.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking (¡Comida y Bebida! – The Essentials) If you are lucky, you might find Happy hour. I wish they had more Desserts in restaurant!
Services & Conveniences (Los Servicios – The Little Things) The Front desk [24-hour] is great if you are coming from a rough flight. The Elevator is a necessity, and I was glad to see it. I did not check the Safe deposit boxes.
For the kids Didn't need it, so I didn't care.
My Honest Rating – The Verdict (Mi Opinión – ¡La Verdad!)
Alright, to be blunt: Red Roof Inn near the airport isn't a destination. It is a functional hotel, good to quickly get to the airport, and good to rest a bit. And that’s okay! If you're looking for glamour, seek somewhere else. But if you're after a clean, reasonably priced place to crash before, after or between flights, this place gets the job done. It’s a solid 'B' for me.

¡AY, CARAMBA! My Messy, Magnificent New Orleans Adventure (Starting at the Red Roof Inn, God Help Us)
Okay, amigos and amigas, buckle up buttercups, because this isn't your Pinterest-perfect itinerary. This is real life, New Orleans style. And it all starts… at the Red Roof Inn near the airport. Don't judge! Budget, baby, budget. But hey, at least it has AC, right? Phew.
Day 1: Arrival & A Baptism by Beignet
- 3:00 PM: Arrive at Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport (MSY). Found my luggage! A minor miracle, honestly. Immediately feeling that humid hug of the South. My hair is already frizzing. Send help (and maybe a margarita).
- 3:30 PM: Uber (fingers crossed it actually shows up) to the Red Roof Inn. Room is… well, it's a room. Smells faintly of… something. I choose to believe it's "southern charm".
- 4:30 PM: THE Beignet mission. Head straight for Café Du Monde in the French Quarter. Okay, this HAS to be the most touristy thing ever, but I'm a tourist! And I'd walk across hot coals for a beignet. The line is… long. Like, really long. But the sweet smell wafting out is a promise of deliciousness. (Pro tip: grab extra napkins. You'll need them. Also, someone just bumped into me and spilled powdered sugar all over my shirt!)
- 5:30 PM: BEIGNETS! Oh. My. GOD. They're fluffy clouds of fried dough, coated in a blizzard of powdered sugar. I'm pretty sure I've died and gone to heaven. And I look like a powdered sugar ghost. Worth it.
- 6:30 PM: Wandering the French Quarter. The wrought-iron balconies, the street performers, the music… it's magic. Except… I'm starting to feel overwhelmed and slightly lost. So many people! So many beads being thrown! And is that… a chicken playing the trumpet? I believe I might be hallucinating.
- 8:00 PM: Dinner at a hole-in-the-wall place off Bourbon Street called… I actually can't remember the name. But it was cheap, the gumbo was smoky and amazing, and the waitress was sassy and told me my accent was adorable. Sold.
- 9:30 PM: Bourbon Street. Okay, okay, it's a sensory overload. Music blasting, flashing lights, people staggering around. Let's just say I dipped my toe in and quickly decided to retreat. Maybe tomorrow.
- 10:30 PM: Back at the Red Roof Inn. Feeling the sugar crash and the beginnings of a mild existential crisis. Did I really spend my money on this, and it's… okay, it's not the Ritz, but it did the job. Bedtime story: my first day in New Orleans. Maybe it was a fluke.
- 11:00 PM: A quick check to the bathroom and I hear a very familiar sound, yes, it's a very loud, loud snore!!
Day 2: History, Haunts & a Hurricane (metaphorically, hopefully)
- 9:00 AM: Wake up (miraculously without a hangover). Coffee is essential. Luckily, the Red Roof Inn has a sad little coffee machine. This is not the time or place for a fancy brew. I need a caffeine blast.
- 10:00 AM: Cemetery tour. Specifically, St. Louis Cemetery No. 1. This is the one with Marie Laveau's tomb, which is a must-see. And by the way, be prepared to pay a premium for a tour because it's locked for tourists. It's spooky, it's beautiful, it's historical… and it's hot. Like, really hot. That humidity is a killer and the sun is a killer.
- 12:00 PM: Lunch: Po' boys! Found a little local joint that was packed. The bread was crusty, the shrimp was fried to perfection, and the remoulade sauce was a revelation. My stomach is happy. My wallet is slightly less so.
- 1:30 PM: Walk the Garden District. The mansions are breathtaking. Seriously, I'm pretty sure I saw a house that was bigger than my entire apartment building back home. The architecture is so incredible. I even saw a dog wearing a bow tie.
- 3:00 PM: River Cruise on the Natchez Steamboat. Honestly, it was a bit cheesy, and the calliope music was a little much, but the views of the city from the water were pretty spectacular. Plus, the breeze was a welcome relief from the relentless heat to be fair.
- 5:00 PM: Exploring the French Quarter some more. Hoping to find an art gallery.
- 6:30 PM: Dinner at Mother's Restaurant. The lines are long, but I had to try it. Damn, the food comes in giant portions! The roast beef po' boy was heavenly. I may have overeaten.
- 8:00 PM: Ghost Tour. Okay, I get it: cheesy, touristy, all that. But it was actually kinda fun! The stories were creepy, the guide was enthusiastic, and I may or may not have jumped a little when a "ghost" made an appearance. (Probably just a guy in a sheet, but still…)
- 9:30 PM: Tip: be prepared to know that you can't go to rest in peace with ghosts in the cemetery.
- 10:00 PM: Drinks at a jazz club. The music was incredible. I even danced a little! My feet hurt now, but it was worth it.
- 11:30 PM: Back at the Red Roof Inn. Feeling surprisingly energized (maybe the adrenaline from the ghost tour?) and the air conditioning kicks back on. Another day done. Another day survived!
Day 3: Swamp Things & Departure (And Maybe a Little Regret)
- 9:00 AM: Wake up. My back hurts. I need more coffee. Today is swamp tour day, and I'm both excited and slightly terrified.
- 10:00 AM: Swamp tour! The boat. Alligators! Spanish moss! The tour guide, bless his heart, was practically a walking encyclopaedia of Louisiana swamp lore. I learned about crawfish, cypress trees, and the fascinating mating rituals of the swamp creatures. (Okay, I may have made that last part up.) I even saw an alligator! It was majestic and terrifying.
- 12:00 PM: Back to the French Quarter for a final stroll. Do all the things I missed. Take a few more pictures, buy a few more souvenirs (I need a t-shirt that says "I survived New Orleans").
- 1:00 PM: One last beignet at Café Du Monde. This time, I'm prepared. Napkins at the ready. I savour every bite.
- 2:00 PM: Packing. My suitcase is a mess. I've acquired a weird collection of beads, souvenirs, and a lingering smell of beignet.
- 3:00 PM: Check out from the Red Roof Inn. Goodbye, little room! You were… adequate.
- 3:30 PM: Uber back to the airport. Traffic is a beast. I'm slightly panicked about making my flight.
- 5:00 PM: Successfully make it to the airport. Security is a breeze (finally).
- 6:00 PM: Flight home. Looking out the window, watching New Orleans shrink.
- 7:00 PM: Flight going home, I was thinking about everything that I have to do and I felt an absence!
- 8:00 PM: I got myself back home with no issues. Exhausted, but happy. I left New Orleans and felt empty.
- 9:00 PM: Thinking about finding my next location.
Final Thoughts:
New Orleans is a whirlwind. It's chaotic, it's beautiful, it's messy, and it's absolutely unforgettable. And let's be honest, the Red Roof Inn, even with its quirks, gave me a place to crash after a long day of adventures. I'll be back, NOLA. You've got a hold on me. And next time, I'm definitely springing for a room with a better view… and maybe a mini-fridge.

Preguntas Frecuentes (y Algunas Cosas que Nadie Pregunta, Pero Deberían) sobre el Red Roof Inn cerca del Aeropuerto de Kenner!
1. ¿Está realmente cerca *así* del aeropuerto? ¡Porque en la web todo lo dicen!
¡Mira, te voy a ser sincero! Sí, relativamente. Literalmente puedes *oler* el jet fuel, especialmente a las 6 de la mañana cuando tu pobre cerebro todavía está en "modo dormir". Una vez, estaba intentando dormir después de un vuelo retrasado, y oí un avión que parecía que iba a aterrizar en *mi* habitación. (No aterrizo... ¡gracias, Dios!) ¿Cerca? Sí. ¿Perfectamente silencioso? Absolutamente no. Trae tapones para los oídos. En serio. Los necesitarás. O quizás te guste la banda sonora de los aviones; yo, personalmente, prefiero mi descanso.
2. ¿El desayuno es realmente “gratis”? ¿Qué es eso?
Ahhhh, el desayuno... "gratis". Digamos que la "gratis" está entre comillas. Podríamos describirlo como un encuentro con la supervivencia. Hay café que sospecho que es de la Edad de Piedra, unos bagels que parecen desafiar la gravedad, y a veces, *a veces*, unas salchichas sospechosas que no estoy seguro de lo que son. Una vez, en un intento desesperado por comer algo decente antes de mi vuelo, combiné un bagel con una loncha de queso y un poco de café. ¡Es mejor que nada! Pero no esperes alta cocina. Es suficiente para sobrevivir. Piensa en ello como un "ritual de gratitud matutina" por no haberte perdido el vuelo... y por no haber muerto de hambre.
3. ¿Hay Wi-Fi? ¿Y es bueno, porfa? Necesito trabajar...
Sí, hay Wi-Fi. *Generalmente* funciona. A veces es tan rápido como una tortuga con esguince. Otras veces, puedes ver Netflix sin problemas. Depende de la suerte, la luna (¡no, en serio!), y la cantidad de gente que está usando el Wi-Fi a la vez. Si necesitas trabajar con cosas pesadas, descarga los archivos importantes antes de llegar. Una vez, intenté enviar un correo electrónico con un archivo de 1 GB y casi me arranco el pelo. Trae paciencia, muchacho. ¡Mucha paciencia!
4. ¿Las habitaciones son... limpias? (¿Con bichos...?)
Mira, vamos a ser sinceros. “Limpias” es un término relativo. En general, están limpias, pero no es un hotel de lujo. Prepárate para ver alguna mancha en la alfombra que parece haber pasado por todas las guerras mundiales. Y es probable que haya una araña viviendo felizmente en la esquina del techo. Yo nunca he visto bichos raros, pero una vez vi una mosca que parecía que llevaba allí desde el principio de los tiempos. ¡Llévate spray anti-insectos, por si acaso! O... simplemente, reza a los dioses del viaje que te hagan pasar una noche tranquila. ¡Funciona a veces!
5. ¿Qué hay alrededor del hotel? ¿Hay algo para comer?
Oh, Kenner... ¡encantador Kenner! Hay opciones, sí. Tienes algunos restaurantes de comida rápida a poca distancia. Un poco de variedad, pero no es la experiencia culinaria que buscas. Un poco más lejos, en coche, hay opciones más interesantes (¡y deliciosas!). Una vez, tuve un antojo de comida cajún a las 11 de la noche. Fue una aventura, pero ¡valió la pena! Investiga un poco antes de llegar, o tendrás que conformarte con lo más cercano, que generalmente es... ya sabes.
6. ¿Por qué debería elegir Red Roof Inn sobre otros hoteles? ¡Dime algo!
¡Precio! Simplemente, el precio. Si necesitas un lugar para dormir cerca del aeropuerto sin gastar una fortuna, el Red Roof Inn es una opción razonable. Es económico. Punto. Y, por lo general, el personal es amable, lo cual siempre es un plus. Ojo, no esperes lujo. Es simple y práctico. Es como... un buen amigo que te da asilo cuando estás en apuros. Quizás no te cocine una cena de cinco estrellas, pero te ofrece un techo sobre tu cabeza y un lugar para descansar.
7. ¿Hay servicio de traslado al aeropuerto? ¿Funciona bien?
¡Sí, lo hay! Pero...prepárate. Funciona, pero en la mañana, especialmente, es un poco... caótico. Pasa cada media hora, se supone, pero a veces se retrasa. Una vez, casi pierdo mi vuelo porque la camioneta nunca llegó a tiempo. ¡¡¡Pánico total!!! Así que... planea con bastante tiempo. Y si tienes un vuelo súper importante, (¡o odias retrasarte!) considera pedir un Uber o un taxi. Mejor prevenir que lamentar... ¡y perder tu vuelo porque no te recogieron a tiempo es algo que no quieres experimentar!
8. ¿Hay piscina?
¡Sí! Hay una piscina... ¡que a veces está abierta! Y cuando está abierta, puede ser una experiencia... interesante. No es la piscina más lujosa del mundo. A veces está un poco concurrida. Y otra vez, si la limpieza... bueno, ya sabes. Pero después de un largo día de viaje, un chapuzón es algo agradable. Solo... no esperes un spa. Espera, en cambio, una piscina y, cruza los dedos, que esté limpia. ¡Y no te olvides la toalla, porque no estoy seguro de que la pongan en las habitaciones!
9. La experiencia más… ¿inolvidable?
¡Ah, Dios mío! La experiencia más inolvidable... Una vez, llegué a las 2 de la mañana, después de un vuelo *atroz*. Llovía a cántaros. El autobús del aeropuerto me dejó en la carretera equivocada. Estaba empapado. Entré al Inn, y la recepcionista, una señora conBuscar Hotels
