Shreveport-Bossier has enjoyed having the highest hotel occupancy rate in the state, thanks in large part to events like the Port City Classic.
Grambling Tigers and Tech Bulldogs fans are steadily booking their overnight stays in our area hotels. With the game just a few days away there are some vacancies left, but you should book as early as possible to be sure you get rooms at your favorite hotel chain. The Shreveport-Bossier Convention & Tourist Bureau is making daily calls to our hotels and motels to check on availability. You can check for vacancies on our website at www.shreveport-bossier.org/vacancy or see a list of all our accommodations.
