“Front desk person distracted!”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 October 2011

We recently stayed on our beloved lsu campus at the cook hotel. We have stayed multiple times and overlooked things then, but this time I decided to write a review. We stayed on Oct 6th, in the middle of the week and hotel clearly was not full. We arrived around 8pm and the front desk person was on the phone. She told the person on the phone she would have to call them back. We asked if upgrade was possible and she said no because the room was prepaid through expedia. What? She was not friendly or helpful when asking directions to a restaurant and got back on the phone immediately after we got our room key. Very disappointed cause we really want to LOVE this hotel!

Room Tip: No microwave or refrigerator in the room. It was average to say the least. However the room colors a...

“We will be back soon.”

The stay at the Cook Hotel was very enjoyable. The complimentary breakfast was delicious. The hotel grounds are well kept. The pool/spa area is enjoyable and relaxing. The rooms are very nicely decorated and comfortable and we enjoyed the "heavenly beds". Your establishment is top rate. We will be back soon knowing we will have a wonderful place to stay while visiting LSU. I want to thank you for all of your hard work and dedication to your guests. Thank you very much.

“Great for visiting Louisiana State University”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 July 2011

Clean hotel in a great location to LSU. Pillows were lumpy and room walls were thin. However, because we could leave the car parked and not worry about finding a parking space around campus, we will stay here again (warning: we like to walk!). Some days they left a back gate open and we could cut through. Also the 4-mile run around University Lake at sunset was very nice.

“Pretty good all around EXCEPT for the breakfast”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 June 2011
1
person found this review helpful

If you need to be on or near the LSU campus, this is a good facility. Good size suite with fully equipped kitchen. LR couch was not very comfortable to sit on; bed was fine; excellent bathroom. We had a substantial discount off the posted rates, and at those prices I thought it was reasonable. The breakfast was basically a very sad experience--horrible scrambled eggs, undercooked grits, sad sausage. Biscuits ok. One morning there was no milk for cereal or coffee. And the coffee is also disappointing. the dining room is just outside of the pool area--the pool seems to be an odd yellowish-green color. So, be prepared for a very mediocre breakfast experience, and forget about going in the pool.

Also--if you are not really familiar with the LSU area, prepare for the fact that you are going to get lost driving around. A good map, maybe a gps is essential.

“Great Hotel!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 April 2011

person found this review helpful

Great Hotel!!! I took my family with me on a business trip. The staff was great. It was on the LSU campus. The "Tiger trails" bus line ran in front of the hotel. It is free. My family used it to tour the campus. They had a great time. No restaurant on site....... but a free, hot breakfast is provided that is great. Lunch is catered---reasonable price. Several places would delivery if you did not want to go out, there are many great places to eat around the campus. I highly recommend it!!!!
