Do not stay
Hotel is terrible. Has lots of damages throughout the building. Lobby is very hot and smelled nothing but the weed. Room had missing blow dryer. The front desk person was NEVER there. Also the first night check in then went to an event and when return, someone else was inside the room they check me into! Was not happy to go back down to the front desk and no one was there. Even tried calling the hotel directly and NEVER answered. I will not be staying there again!!

I went to check in and the staff was incredibly rude. To the point they cancelled my room right in front of me. I never got to stay there, nor would they give me a refund or write down on a piece of paper that they cancelled it so I could contact Expedia to get a refund. I tried calling Expedia several times with hours on wait. I still have not spoken to a representative about this situation. I had my two daughters with me, it was a football weekend and all rooms were sold out in the Baton Rouge area. It took me hours to find a room which ended up costing me an extra $500. I am still waiting on someone from Expedia to contact me about this situation. Thanks!
