Cleanest hotel I’ve ever been to
Marit, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great place

Was there for a sporting event at LSU. Convenient location. Room was spacious and clean. Staff were amazing and helpful! The only complaint would be the temperature of the room. No matter how low we set the thermostat, it would stay between 74-76.
Tamela, 2-night trip

Nice and easy property to stay at
Brandon, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

It was honestly a fine stay until Sunday morning when they were playing church on TV at the breakfast buffet. I think this was awfully presumptuous that everyone believed the same and worshiped the same. Regardless, there’s a time and place. And while the time may have lined up for Christians, it was not the place.

The accommodations were perfect. A very spacious room. The pool was great too!

Nice place

I booked a night so my kids could swim. The hotel is very clean but the pool is definitely not the pool on the picture, it was much smaller. Overall great experience, the breakfast was a nice touch as well.
Portia, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

LSU convenient

Very nice. Loved the attention to detail and lobby. Felt higher end. Bed comfy, bath very good. Breakfast- average, powdered eggs. They did have soft drink available though. Parking lot doesnt match front door... little confusing.

10 Stars, One of the Best

Very clean, very quiet, staff is all smiles, joke with you and are all friendly. WONDERFUL breakfast! My big thing at all places i stay for work that is a make or break for me is "is the bed soft and comfortable"? And YES the bed was VERY comfortable. All amenities of home on a smaller but very spacious comfortable size suite. This will be my new place to stay for work when i come to the area.
Casey, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We stayed at this hotel in Baton Rouge to goto an LSU baseball game. It is literally a couple minute car ride from the baseball and football stadiums. Staff was very nice, and the breakfast was really good. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again.
Casey, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Not great and they double charge

The bathroom was dirty and they need to replace the stained bathtub. When you check in they give you this page that has been photocopied a zillion time talking about COVID and how they have reduced all their services. It’s 2025, don’t blame covid, you just don’t offer daily housekeeping or happy hour anymore. The hotel double charged me for taxes and fees even when I had prepaid for the room through Hotels.com. Now I have to deal with disputing that although they make you sign something that says their rates don’t include taxes and fees. So it seems this is a regular occurrence. Why do guests get charged twice??? I have stayed there twice. Didn’t love it either time. But the breakfast is very good and the breakfast ladies are great.

Ronald, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Very convenient for our visit to LSU. Close to campus, walk-able to stadiums and several dining options. Rooms facing the main road were kind of noisy, but nice overall
Barry, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

The one bedroom suite had a full kitchen and a full living room for us to relax and watch the basketball games. The breakfast buffet was nice as well.
Rochelle, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Good, not great

The check in staff was very nice. The hotel looked clean enough. The room was spacious however a few things were off. The TV in the main area did not work. The remote had buttons missing but I could still make it function however we couldn't get the tv to 'connect' to whatever it was trying to connect to - couldn't even get to a basic guide. The inside deadbolt lock did not work which is a safety issue. The latch mechanism wouldn't turn so the bolt could not engage. If you're a light sleeper, the AC vent is huge and at the foot of one of the beds. It kept the room comfortably cool but it sounds like a dragon huffing when the fan turns off. In defense of the hotel, I chose not to report any of this because I was only staying the night and it was late. On a positive note, the bed and pillows were very comfortable. We had to hit the road so we didn't get a chance to try the breakfast.
Lana, 1-night trip

Perfect for walking to Alex Box.
Latisha, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Studio suite was nice size room and clean. Bed was comfortable. Staff was accommodating by letting us check in early.
Clayton, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Okay hotel

I have stayed at a lot of different hotels from 2-star to 5-star and this hotel is definitely an average 3-star hotel. It had high ratings for being clean, but I found it to be a little dated, and not as clean as I had hoped. The mini lotion bottle in the room had been used and was half-full. The tiles in the bathroom either needed to be deep cleaned or were stained. Breakfast buffet was good and a typical free breakfast at a hotel. There didn't seem to be a lot of high rated hotels under $200, so for the price, I think it was okay and would probably stay again.

Suzanne, 4-night trip

6/10 Good

The breakfast upset my stomach. My son barely ate the breakfast because it didn’t taste great. I don’t like wasting food so I forced myself to eat it. The room was clean and comfortable but I didn’t expect it to be so small. It was enough room for my son & I. But it wouldn’t have been big enough for more than 2 people.
Mahogany, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This is my favorite hotel to stay at in Baton Rouge when visiting my son. It's convenient to both on and off campus events. The breakfast selections are good, and the hotel staff is always courteous.

I was in a room close to the elevator and I heard strong noises from the elevator that I couldn’t sleep.
