After reading the reviews I was scared to book a room anywhere in Baton Rouge because basically all the hotels except the super expensive ones are rated horribly, and even some of those are rated horribly so i made my husband go by and check this one out, along with several others, before I booked since he is working there.
For the price of the room it was more than I expected, yes it could be nicer but it could cost a lot more too, it's in a wonderful location, we got a king room and it was clean, we have a toddler and that was our main concern, we could let him run around in the hotel room without being worried about him catching something. it had a working microwave and fridge, tv was fine, bed was comfy and they had tons of different pillows so you could get the one you like best. The bathroom is kind of in need of remodelling but it was CLEAN and there weren't holes or anything you could just tell it was old.
We were on the 2nd floor it was kinda inconvenient having to lug our stuff up and down stairs but not that big of an issue even with the baby. Our room was non smoking and thankfully (unlike some places) you didn't walk in to the smell of cigarette smoke. You could hear people talking as they walked by outside but not that many people were walking by and A LOT of people were there during our stay, the parking lot was packed, we didn't find it to be an issue, we noticed it but that was it.
For the price I would definitely stay there again.
