Great economical place to stay in a great location. Since we were meeting friends, we didn’t eat breakfast there, but there are plenty of great eateries in the vicinity.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
The location was good, close to Walmart and starbucks. There was strange loud noises at night, room smelled slightly funky and the pillows were not the most comfortable. Overall the hotel was better than expected based on price and the staff was very nice.
Every year I attend Prince Hall Freemason of Louisiana Conference for the past 5years. York Rite Conference for the past 4 years and this is always my choice to stay. The rooms are very clean and comfortable , great parking ,Staff is very polite and helpful and they offer a medium breakfast. I recommend this hotel to everyone and everyone who has stayed here loved it and beats me reserving for current events. This is a hidden Jewel that rate a 10
I have been traveling and my reservations have been last minute or "on a where I am at, when I need to get some sleep. Randomly choosing hotels have sometimes surprised me with a few jewels along the way. My stay in Baton Rouge was one of those unexpected quality at a surprisingly budge price. The outside of the building is very plain but inside is where the atmosphere shines. I was greeted warmly and a room request was granted for the first floor by Ramon the patient, efficient desk clerk even though I had originally been assigned an upstairs room. After driving all day this was an extremely welcoming gift especially seeing that he had to physically check my new room to make sure that it had been cleaned properly after an earlier check-out that day. The room was spacious & VERY CLEAN. It even had a kitchenette. Great value. Thank you!
Hotel is really well maintained with a friendly staff. It was clean, great water pressure, hot water, continental breakfast, ac was cold, bed was comfortable, iron, fridge, and microwave in room, and nothing clogged. You can’t ask for anything more for that value.
Great hotel to stay at. The Hotel has all accessibility and the breakfast was good. The room was clean and well maintained. No issues anytime during our stay.
Staff was nice. Hotel was clean. Breakfast wasn’t great but I got a bananas for about half of my stay. Hotel is right next to a strip club though and neighborhood is slightly sketchy.
Great hotel for the price. Gentleman at front desk was very friendly. We will definitely stay again.

The room was clean and tidy. The customer service was not very good. The breakfast was absolutely awful. And the entire hotel hallways and lobby had a strong odor of spicy food cooking our entire three day stay.
