Good for quick trip

The hotel was in a very convenient location. Was a little concerned when I pulled up and saw a gentleman’s club in the parking lot. But I stayed on a Sunday night and it was quiet. Bathroom was noticeably cleaner than most hotels. Overall would stay here again if needed.

I liked that it was close to an event we were attending at LSU. The staff was nice and friendly. Breakfast wasn't much. The best thing was that there was sweet original coffeemate for the coffee. Our room was clean, but it smelled like a moldy wet smell. It appears that a room must have been leaking and made its way to the hallway. Not sure if the leak was under the floors, but our flooring was damp looking in the morning. The manager came in our room to check to see if we had anything leaking, but nothing seemed to be. I can't complain too much, as the rates were something I could afford. It was also very near Walmart and lots of restaurants nearby.

I stayed at Econo Lodge Baton Rouge University Area. The staff were kind and welcoming, especially Mr. Omar, the humble manager running what seems to be a family-owned business. The room was clean and organized, and the area was quiet; suitable for rest or study. The location is convenient, close to marts, restaurants, and several universities. While affordable, several issues led me to cancel the rest of my reservation at this hotel. The "free breakfast" was just coffee and a few snacks—definitely not a real breakfast. One of the biscuits was so dry it almost broke my son's teeth and should be removed. Towels were very old and worn out, and one housekeeper lacked basic professional etiquette. In the end, thus hotel is economically great and is a suitable option for travelers who just need a simple place to relax for a few hours.

Was definitely not handicap accessible. There were only steps to get in front door with no ramps. We were supposedly in handicap room but there were no accommodations for handicap person to take shower. There was no water pressure in the sink. Could barely brush our teeth. The shower head ws brokeaand just hanging down in the shower. Works not recommend this place.

The room was very clean and quiet, but it had a very strange odor, not of cleaning but a strange deoderizer. The breakfast, biscuits and sausage, were in a container but were cold and hard, even the microwave couldn't fix.
