Top University Lake Hotel Reviews

Tru by Hilton Baton Rouge Citiplace, LA

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was nice"

Hampton Inn Baton Rouge - I-10 & College Dr.

8/10 Good

"Everything was good but always room for improvement. The only real complaint we had was the noise all night long from the interstate."

Sonesta ES Suites Baton Rouge University at Southgate

8/10 Good

"Facility was clean and we enjoyed getting to walk to the stadium for game day. The only aggravation we faced during our day was our key card gave us so many issues. We couldn't get into our room twice and was locked outside in the cold (door locks at 10 or 10:30pm and you must use key card for entry) but luckily someone was coming out shortly after and we were able to get in. The guy at the desk never even noticed us trying to get in because his head was down in the cellphone. And the attitude/negative energy we received at the desk to get our key reactivated was terrible. Would I stay again, yes. Hopefully with a better outcome and better attitudes."

Drury Inn & Suites Baton Rouge

10/10 Excellent

"The dinner was not for me. I would have loved pizza or pasta."

Marriott Baton Rouge

8/10 Good

"Very noisy from the road"

Embassy Suites Hotel Baton Rouge

WATERMARK Baton Rouge, Autograph Collection

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful historic hotel at a reasonable price. Great atmosphere at the bar and a friendly, attentive staff. 5 stars :)."

The Cook Hotel and Conference Center at LSU

10/10 Excellent

"Love that this was conveniently located on campus but we were disappointed that a lot of the campus was closed down. It was during a holiday. You could actually cook and keep groceries in the room we had but we were only there a short time, I was super disappointed the gift shop was closed. But we definitely plan on coming back. It was convenient though so I could meet some friends and family I hadn’t seen in while it’s not that far from the shops bars like chimes where we got to have a private signing by author Si Pham America Odyssey."

Courtyard by Marriott Baton Rouge Acadian Centre/LSU Area

10/10 Excellent

"Room was clean, linens were fresh. Front desk staff was kind, upbeat, helpful!"
