The room was clean but it was small. The TV had a lot of channels. And the breakfast buffet was good. It was on LSU's campus and that was a huge plus for us!

My son is a student at LSU and staying at the Cook is more convenient than any other hotel since it is near the heart of campus. Most campus locations are walkable, the rooms are spacious, and staff is friendly. Prices vary quite a bit depending on the time of year, but if it is comparable or slightly higher than other options, it’s worth booking for the location alone.
