Great stay

2nd time staying there this year and enjoyed my stay again. Room was clean and staff was amazing. Only grip would be the smaller pillows on the bed when it comes to the lenght of them. But the were extra fluffy and comfortable. Is in a good central location to alot of food, entertainment and shopping.

Good for quick trip

The hotel was in a very convenient location. Was a little concerned when I pulled up and saw a gentleman’s club in the parking lot. But I stayed on a Sunday night and it was quiet. Bathroom was noticeably cleaner than most hotels. Overall would stay here again if needed.

Budget stay in Baton Rouge

For a budget hotel it’s in good shape. Location is good not too far off the highway with lots of food options and a Walmart right down the street. It is next door to a gentleman’s club. Not sure if that’s a pro or con. 😂 Room was comfortable. AC worked well. Free WiFi. Free parking. Overall a good place at a good price.

It’s a good place to sleep. Hair dryer was broken, vending machines only took coins but no sign saying so, breakfast is VERY basic and the coffee machine was acting up, and there was a herd of tumbling elephants above us the first night. We were so tired, we managed to sleep anyway. Staff is nice. Location great for college drop off (Walmart, iHop etc.) close by. I would stay here again - just have low mush expectations
