Top Downtown East Hotel Reviews

Bally's Baton Rouge Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Friendly staff, clean hotel, and excellent location. Restaurant menu could be expanded a little but everything else was top notch.:)"

Holiday Inn Express & Suites Baton Rouge East by IHG

8/10 Good

"It is a nice hotel and the breakfast was good. A few notables during our trip. Our toilet handle was broken and had to be fixed (which was done very quickly, thank you!). The fridge was not level (missing a leg?) which caused the door to scrape the floor. They ran out of biscuits and gravy one morning for breakfast. After they were told, they made more so thank you for that! The staff were very friendly and the hotel and room were very clean. We did not use the pool but would not have anyway. It was a very basic, small pool that looked like it had not been used in quite some time."

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Baton Rouge Denham Springs

10/10 Excellent

"My partner and I stayed here for one night and we had a great experience! The room, sheets, restroom were all clean. They provided small Dove shampoo which was great. It is pet friendly, we had our dog and only had to pay $25 for the night for him to join us in our room. The outside was also very well kept. Also it was a plus the free breakfast and coffee which we definitely enjoyed! Honestly highly recommended!"
