My wife and I recently stayed at the Holiday Inn Express Slidell at 623 Voters Road to celebrate our 36th wedding anniversary and enjoy the Mardi Gras festivities. We had a fantastic experience from start to finish. Why We Loved It: • The Perfect Location: Slidell was the ideal "sweet spot." We were close enough to dive into the Mardi Gras excitement of the Big Easy, but we loved being able to retreat to a quieter, more relaxed atmosphere at the end of the day. • Anniversary Ready: The staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. From the seamless check-in to the spotless room, the hospitality matched the spirit of our celebration. • Comfort & Quality: After long days of parades and walking, the bed was incredibly comfortable. Everything was clean, modern, and well-maintained. • Great Value: Compared to the sky-high prices in the French Quarter during Carnival season, this hotel offered fantastic amenities and service without the "festival markup." • A Fantastic Breakfast: We looked forward to the breakfast station every morning. It was fresh, well-stocked, and easily one of the best "free breakfast" setups we’ve encountered in our travels. Cornell was absolutely awesome and made us feel right at home. We also had the pleasure of being assisted by a very pleasant woman whose name escapes me, but her kindness didn't go unnoticed! And her tip to try the French Market Cafe’s muffuletta was spot on as it rivaled the famous Central Grocery, the originator of the muffuletta sandwich • The "Mardi Gras Sweet Spot": Slidell was the perfect home base. We were close enough to dive into the excitement of the parades, but loved retreating to a quiet, comfortable room at the end of the night. Summary: Celebrating a milestone anniversary during Carnival season can be stressful, but the team here made it seamless. Great value, great people, and a great location. We’ll definitely be back!

I had a fantastic stay at the Holiday Inn! Raina at the front desk was absolutely amazing—so helpful and accommodating. She went above and beyond to make sure my stay was comfortable and stress-free. Her friendly attitude and great customer service made a big difference. The hotel was clean, well-maintained, and had everything I needed. I highly recommend staying here, especially if you have the pleasure of being assisted by Raina!

I stayed at the Holiday Inn in Slidell and had the pleasure of meeting the breakfast chef, who was just fantastic. Honestly, the breakfast was way above your typical hotel spread. The chef was not only super friendly and welcoming, but you could tell he put a lot of care into what he was serving. It honestly felt like one of the best breakfasts I’ve had in a long time. So if you’re staying here, definitely give a shout-out to the breakfast chef. He’s doing an amazing job and he absolutely deserves all the praise. Kudos to him!
Our room was very clean and smelled nice everything very clean. The breakfast was great with a change from the usual Holiday Inn breakfast we had the option of french toast sticks, waffles and grits. All of it was delicious and the cook was very friendly and incredible polite. He genuinely cared if the guests enjoyed their meal.
Nice and clean even though renovations are underway. The breakfast was cold and ran out of food and regular coffee way too early. Our rooms A/C had what sounded like a plastic bag inside of it that would flutter everytime it came on! Overall this isn't a bad place and hopefully with the renno going on it will improve.
Amazing customer service. I was helped greatly by Tyrael.(definitely misspelled that) helped me check in early. She was super kind and helpful.
In a commercial area off Interstate 10, this low-key hotel is 3 miles from the Slidell Museum, 4 miles from the play areas at Heritage Park and 7 miles from the Camp Salmen House, a 19th-century, French Creole Cottage.
Curated spots travelers usually pair with a stay in Louisiana. Distances are rough real-world times, not straight-line.
