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.

The bathroom was not super clean. There was hair left in the bathtub, shower head cord and toilet area. The shower was awful. The showerhead was so old that it wasn't working well. The tub was not draining well at all, so I had to shower in the puddle.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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
