    better smell
    value for cost

    It was just a nice choice for a swift visit in Baton Rouge with good value for cost. The room had a much better smell on my second stay. Always ask for extra towels as they can be hard to come by.

    freshly cooked breakfast
    unclean bathroom

    Unexpectedly delightful breakfast experience

    Waking up to Ms. Leslie's warm smile and the aroma of freshly cooked breakfast made our mornings a delight. The variety was a pleasant surprise.

    However, the bathroom cleanliness left much to be desired, with scuff marks on the tiles and an exhaust fan cover that looked like it had seen better days.

    helpful staff
    filthy room

    The young lady was nice when we checked in and she

    tried to be as helpful as she could be after I reported our room's poor condition. She provided clean linen and towels, which was appreciated. However, the room itself was absolutely filthy upon arrival, detracting significantly from our stay.

    delicious breakfast
    filthy room
    poor maintenance
    limited assistance

    The breakfast prepared by Mrs Johnson was a standout, showcasing her friendly demeanor and attentiveness to guests. However, the room cleanliness left much to be desired. it was filthy upon arrival, and though staff were apologetic, they could only offer clean linens and towels. Additionally, maintenance appears neglected, impacting the overall experience.

    mixed feelings about my stay

    The Queen Room with Two Queen Beds was quite spacious and offered a nice amount of comfort during my stay. The extra bedding was a pleasant touch that made the night feel cozier. I appreciated the great lighting in the room which made it feel welcoming.

    However, the breakfast options were quite limited, lacking variety and making it hard to find something enjoyable.

    limited breakfast
    lack of variety

    My stay was pleasant, and the room was quite clean with great lighting. The extra cover on the beds was a lovely touch for our romantic date. It definitely exceeded my expectations compared to my previous stay in baton rouge.

    breakfast options were very limited.

    A Mixed Experience with Room Changes

    After being moved three times, I finally settled into a cleaner room that smelled much better. The lingering issues with the carpets were disappointing. On a positive note, the staff was attentive and helpful, which made the frustrating experience a bit easier to handle. Bring your own air freshener!

    great breakfast
    filthy room
    cleanliness issues

    Is it hype or the real deal?

    Breakfast was surprisingly delightful,, with boiled and scrambled eggs plus tasty sausage. Airport shuttle was convenient, and the staff displayed great courtesy and friendliness during my stay.

    The room was far from clean, with a filthy shower and stained towels. Management needs to address these cleanliness issues for a better guest experience.
