Good experience. Clean. Friendly staff. Very good breakfast. Easy check in snd out.
This hotel is modestly priced, and perfectly adequate for me. It was fresh, comfortable, attractive, clean, and well equipped. The breakfast was only fair, but it was a free breakfast. Other Comfort Inns I have stayed at had a nicer breakfast, and I was quite happy with all of them. The staff at each of these Comfort Inns was exceptionally nice, even permitting late check-outs at no cost when my plans changed.
Really surprised with the quality of this hotel. My room was huge. The bed was very comfortable. The bath tub was a little narrow but worked well. The breakfast was hot and delicious. The variety was exceptional. I felt like I was staying at a 4 start hotel. The price was very reasonable. I've paid a lot more for a lot less. I will restore took this hotel when I'm in the area again
Being on a budget means you have to know when to splurge a little and with that Idea, looking for a room can be rough. This comfort inn was awsome. Really comfort inns have been good on our budget. So with that 14 dollar up grade got us a huge bang for little. It was nice clean and relaxing. a huge tub for two was the perfect pamper for the road worn soul.
Way nicer than the other Comfort Inn in Baton rouge. A little noisy from highway sounds and wifi isn't the best, but good overall. Nice breakfast. Staff was great.
Great hotel to stay at. My job has us stay here fairly frequently and every time the entire staff is very friendly and rooms are always clean.
Riverside area with LSU’s campus, football stadium & museums, plus large neighborhood green spaces.
Curated spots travelers usually pair with a stay in Louisiana. Distances are rough real-world times, not straight-line.
