The standard ("deluxe") rooms are very small, and the one I got was a near windowless cave, with just a tiny round sailboat window, about 6-10 in in diameter. Definitely sub-par product for what is expected in a US hotel.

The convenience and proximity to campus. It was clean and quiet. The problem we had was when we entered the room the smell of cleaning chemicals was so strong. It was overwhelming. I’d never experienced anything like that. Made us nauseous. The room is too small and windows don’t open so the use of that much spray or whatever is inappropriate.

Everything was excellent except the shower was so slippery!! It needs to be rinsed better after the cleaning! The handicap bench was also very slick and my daughter slid off of it! But the staff was quick to address my concerns and ensure it was taken care of! Would stay again!

It was great! My only regret is not knowing about this hotel before my stay! For people who want to visit LSU, this is the ideal hotel despite not offering lunch or dinner. We used it for our daughter's graduation and it worked perfectly.
