Good, not great

The check in staff was very nice. The hotel looked clean enough. The room was spacious however a few things were off. The TV in the main area did not work. The remote had buttons missing but I could still make it function however we couldn't get the tv to 'connect' to whatever it was trying to connect to - couldn't even get to a basic guide. The inside deadbolt lock did not work which is a safety issue. The latch mechanism wouldn't turn so the bolt could not engage. If you're a light sleeper, the AC vent is huge and at the foot of one of the beds. It kept the room comfortably cool but it sounds like a dragon huffing when the fan turns off. In defense of the hotel, I chose not to report any of this because I was only staying the night and it was late. On a positive note, the bed and pillows were very comfortable. We had to hit the road so we didn't get a chance to try the breakfast.

Great place

Was there for a sporting event at LSU. Convenient location. Room was spacious and clean. Staff were amazing and helpful! The only complaint would be the temperature of the room. No matter how low we set the thermostat, it would stay between 74-76.

LSU convenient

Very nice. Loved the attention to detail and lobby. Felt higher end. Bed comfy, bath very good. Breakfast- average, powdered eggs. They did have soft drink available though. Parking lot doesnt match front door... little confusing.

Nice place

I booked a night so my kids could swim. The hotel is very clean but the pool is definitely not the pool on the picture, it was much smaller. Overall great experience, the breakfast was a nice touch as well.

I felt like we were staying in a one bedroom apartment, it didn't look like your average hotel suite. I took a nap on the couch watching the big screen TV feeling like I was at home. I'm sold!

Hotel was very nice. The furniture in the rooms could use a good shampoo. The staff was pleasant and there were plenty restaurants near by. Breakfast had a nice hot bar daily. Our only complaint was how expensive the pet fee was. $87 (with tax) is higher than normal. I’m not sure they should be taxing a fee either but that’s not the point.
