The gentleman at the front desk that wore the turban was very professional and nice. The gentleman who was maintenance was rude and not a real maintenance man. Our air-conditioning broke. ( The front desk gentleman with the turban was polite and moved out room.) The other gentleman came by and said it work now. The fridge wasn't staying cold enough he reached in and took frost off back said it working

Parking is limited with people hanging out around the property. Didnt feel safe leaving my car. The property smells like mold. The smell was so strong and unbearable in the room i couldn't sleep at all and ended up sleeping in the car. Really horrible experience

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

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.

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.

Was a good property kind of slow on the check in, but I did arrive really late about 3:30am . Right next to the penthouse strip club. I’m pretty sure I had breakfast in the lobby with the stripper awesome

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.

I liked that it was close to an event we were attending at LSU. The staff was nice and friendly. Breakfast wasn't much. The best thing was that there was sweet original coffeemate for the coffee. Our room was clean, but it smelled like a moldy wet smell. It appears that a room must have been leaking and made its way to the hallway. Not sure if the leak was under the floors, but our flooring was damp looking in the morning. The manager came in our room to check to see if we had anything leaking, but nothing seemed to be. I can't complain too much, as the rates were something I could afford. It was also very near Walmart and lots of restaurants nearby.
