The front desk staff were friendly and helpful, and the hotel’s location is very convenient to LSU. Unfortunately, my stay was disrupted by the fire alarm going off multiple times after midnight, which made it hard to get any rest. Additionally, the room had an unpleasant smell and didn’t feel as clean or fresh as expected.

Great weekend stay for a dance competition. Loved having the kitchen and glad I booked the suite for more space. The hotel also has complimentary washers and dryers. Didn't have to use but was glad to have the option. Close to the Raising Cane's River Center. Would definitely stay again!

This is a good place to stay. The staff is helpful. The room was clean and comfortable. There are several eating places nearby, including a Waffle House across the street. My only criticism is that the kitchen needs more dinnerware and utensils.

Great hotel, doors are kind of hard to push open
Great clean little hotel, only complaint is that the door to the Gym/laundry room gets a little bit of foot traffic and due to the door kind of needing a little force to push open (my hotel room door also took some force to close all the way) it makes a very startling noise every time it opens. It’ll startle the bejesus out of you if you’re working out in there.
