    Reliable place to stay at, great location as you are literally on campus and you are right by the LSU Lakes. My room personally didn't have a fan so I was relying on my AC unit but it didn't really matter as I was out of the room for the most part.

    The Cook Hotel is just so nice and convenient for LSU families. It is literally right on campus, there is plenty of parking, it's clean and comfortable and I will definitely be coming back! Thank you!

    The Cook Hotel was probably in its “Heyday” back in the early 2000s, when it was built. It’s very convenient to everything at LSU being right on campus, but the hotel itself is very dated. The rooms are small, amenities nice, the elevator is on its last leg. The gift shop is well stocked but skip the breakfast. Our “Deluxe King” had a comfortable bed, way too fluffy pillows, and you could barely walk between the TV stand & the bed. Staff were friendly and the self parking is free. Great location if you’re visiting campus, but it’s like stepping back in time… to 2006. My Gam Gam would love it.

    Towels were fluffy Air conditioning wasn’t working well. The room was hot. The staff was super slow to checking you in. With it being Rush weekend and the rates were inflated, they could have afforded to have more than one person working the desk. Also, they were not friendly.

    Perfect location. Clean with great breakfast buffet and bar.

    I loved the room and overall feel of the hotel. I wish there was a restaurant on property

    First upon our arrival The front desk clerk starts to almost processes us and then walks away and goes into another room for five minutes. We had reserved two king suite rooms. The rooms are very small, old, and outdated. In each of the rooms, we turned on lamps and lights and they flickered the lamp had to be turned off never stopped flickering. I went to take a shower and noticed there was absolutely no washcloth in our room or my daughter‘s room. I tried to use the phone inside the room to call the front desk. The phone doesn’t work. I used my cell phone to call the front desk and ask for someone to bring some washcloths after sometime. Someone arrived at the door with hand towels. I gave up and took a shower and washed with a big hand towel not fun. They gave a room closest one to the elevator, room 209 can hear people talking going in and out of the elevator kept me up for a while. Wake up the next morning, go down to eat breakfast. We paid to eat the breakfast all three of us. We noticed there was only one blueberry muffin. We asked the person working in the buffet if they could bake 2 more blueberry muffins. blueberry muffins never came out and we split 1 muffin in two. Then we proceeded to check out at the front desk. We let them know about the washcloth issue. They said well we’re just out of washcloths and acted like it was no big deal. I will never stay at the Cook Hotel in Baton Rouge ever again.

    It was good. Nice place, nothing really special other than a phenomenal location.

    Convenient to LSU campus. New TVs were installed but not operating. Staff was clueless about what to do. Very young and inexperienced.
