Spotty tv, janky side tables that won’t hold chargers,, hallways that look like they haven’t been updated since the early 1990s, Broken shower rod, dated building, elevator takes forever, employees don’t know their own policy’s and management do not care. Worst hotel I’ve ever been too.

Our recent stay at The Cook Hotel and Conference Center at LSU was truly exceptional. From the moment we arrived, the customer service and friendliness of the staff were top-tier, warm, attentive, and welcoming. The breakfast buffet was phenomenal, offering delicious selections that exceeded our expectations. Our daughter graduated from LSU in May and we had to move her out of her apartment in July. The hotel's location, just two minutes away, made the entire process incredibly convenient and stress-free. We’re already looking forward to returning for a more leisurely visit.

Needs Improvement

The front desk lady at the checking, could not be any more indifferent; a robot would have had more personality. The extent of the conversation was give me your ID and your Credit Card. The room was so hot. We lowered the AC, and it was going up vs. down. We tried the front desk, but after 5 minutes waiting for a response, we gave up. We decided to go for dinner, hoping it will be better after a few hours. When we got back the room was as hot. This time we were able to connect to the front desk and the gentleman who looked at the AC told us that it was broken. So at 10:00 PM instead of going to bed after a long drive from Texas, we had to pack our stuff and go to another room 😢
