Located on LSU's campus - off of Greek row & next to one of the sporting centers. Very beautiful campus - esp first thing in the AM, great running trail nearby. Spacious, clean suites with well-supplied kitchenette. Decent hot breakfast, great service. Highly recommend.

We stayed here for the LSU Kickoff & it was probably one of the cleanest, nicest, friendliest hotels I’ve stayed in! We had a suite with double beds & it was so spacious & comfortable & immaculately clean. Breakfast was really good too with very friendly helpful staff. Campus was walking distance from room but they offered us a shuttle service that was very convenient! Will definitely stay here again if ever back in Baton Rouge!

I stayed here once. Years ago. I have no plans to be in Baton Rouge again in the near future. And yet, this hotel keeps spamming me with invitations to stay with them. Their useless spam has no "unsubscribe" link. It's a perfectly reasonable hotel, but DO NOT give them your real email address.

Great hotel, beautiful suites, needs better sound proofing (I don't need to know my neighbors plans for the day). Beautiful layout for our bathroom with a stand up shower.
They say "buffet" but it it really a ticketed breakfast of eggs, 1 sausage patty, grits and a muffin and choice of a drink, so we went out for breakfast after that experience.
