Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The room, although on the smallish side, had very comfortable beds and a first-class bathroom. It was a bit small, yet quiet, clean, well-appointed, and had nice extras like a mini fridge and complimentary strong Wi-Fi signal. The service was super friendly, going above and beyond the standard; the staff was friendly and efficient in all interactions. The location was incredible, exactly where we wanted to be, with easy access to nearby restaurants. The dining experience was good, offering pretty standard fare at the breakfast buffet. The facilities were clean and well-maintained, adding to the enjoyment of my stay.
Staying at this hotel on the scenic lakeshore edge of campus was a delightful experience overall. Despite the rooms being on the smallish side, the comfort of the beds, first-class bathroom, and the added bonus of a well-appointed kitchen and living area made my stay cozy and convenient. The LSU decor adds a special touch of pride. The location is perfect for LSU visitors, especially during game days, and the breakfast buffet was a highlight. However, improvements are needed in certain areas like the vegetarian options and variety of the menu. The friendly service from personnel added a welcoming touch to the stay.
My stay at the hotel was quite comfortable and enjoyable overall. The rooms were spacious and well-appointed, offering a great level of cleanliness and quietness. However, the connecting door to the adjacent room allowed for some noise transfer, which was a bit disruptive. The service was excellent, with friendly and helpful staff always ready to assist. The location was unbeatable for my needs, being right by the LSU campus. The dining options were good but could have been more varied. The facilities were satisfactory, providing all necessary amenities for a pleasant stay.
