The name of New Roads, Louisiana came about because in 1882 it was settled on a "new road" that joined the False River and Mississippi River settlements. Today, it is a popular destination where vacationers enjoy the False River, stroll the tree-lined streets, examine Victorian architecture and participate in the second oldest Mardi Gras celebration in the state. If your plans include traveling to New Roads, stay at one of the area hotels.
This 40-unit motel offers a welcoming, family atmosphere. All rooms are en suite and furnished with double beds, telephones, tables and chairs and televisions. If you are in town for a business, or if you will be staying for a while, corporate and extended-stay rates are available. The motel also provides accommodations for large groups, such as weddings and conventions. While staying here, enjoy dining on Cajun fare at nearby restaurants or eat at Jack's Tiger Drive Inn, tour the antebellum homes or gamble at the Grand Casino Avoyelles, which is 40 minutes away.
