Reviews and Ratings
I was impressed by the industrial chic rooms, a bit on the small side but nicely appointed, offering a perfect size with a lovely view of the Mississippi River. The hotel looked amazing upon arrival, although it could have been a bit cleaner. The service was very helpful and ensured a safe environment, but there was a delay in locating my keys after check-out. The location is superb for exploring key attractions on foot but may require additional payment for parking. The dining was delicious, albeit a bit expensive. Overall, a good value for money stay with a few minor drawbacks.
I recently stayed at the hotel with my teenage granddaughters. The rooms were very clean and getting more towels was a breeze. The room itself was nice, but it was a bit concerning to have an uncleaned room at 9 pm, which was a downside.
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The rooms were spacious and well-equipped, but the service had a mix of excellence and a touch of southern charm. The location was perfect for exploring downtown Baton Rouge, although there were some minor hiccups in the service. The dining experience was delightful with wholesome food offerings. Overall, a great value for money option with a few service quirks to be aware of.
