Not the best experience
Pros:

The two men that helped us in and out with our luggage were very sweet and helpful. The room itself was nice but hasn’t been updated in awhile.

Cons:

We specified we wanted a river view room. Which technically they did give us. Our room faced the river. However, they put us on the 3rd floor and our only “view” was the pool. Our curtains didn’t close all the way so we had to worry about the people out by the pool seeing inside. They had us surrounded by families with small children who decided to let the kids scream and play in the hallways like they were the only guests in the hotel. We called 2x’s to complain and still had to listen to kids all night. And they were back at it early this morning. When we checked out it took over 30 minutes for them to retrieve our car. For what we paid for the room I was expecting a much more enjoyable stay.

Nothing!

Cons:

No running water in shower, bedroom smelled like pet urine, breakfast was absolutely awful (eggs cold, French toast stale, juices out of date) valet didn’t help with luggage out of the car nor when we left and hotel general parking was limited and expensive.

Likely filled with mold spores
Pros:

Based on the severe allergies and persistent asthma signs I developed while staying here for a conference, the musty odor and old, gross carpets everywhere, I suspect this hotel has a serious mold problem. Don’t stay here if you are allergic to mold. I’m also pretty sure I could see mold growing in the stuffing of the comforter they gave me.

Overall, - I wouldn't stay here again. It wasn't horrible but it could've been better
Cons:

We were pretty unhappy with the lack of hospitality offered by the staff. We wish the staff had been more accomodating to simple requests but it seems asking for small things was a larger burden.

Non-fundable rooms. Chaotic property. Abysmal customer service.
Pros:

I normally don’t write bad reviews but I felt the need to share our horrible experience with the Hilton Baton Rouge Capitol Center.

We've been to downtown Baton Rouge many times both personally and professionally and stayed at other locations like the Watermark and hotel Indigo.

I prepaid for a two night stay through American Express. Had change of plans that required us to cancel the first night. I called American Express and they contacted the hotel. The hotel was unwilling to work with us to accommodate a change despite being less than 24hrs outside of the change window and being a Hilton Honors member.
The Amex representative made sure that the hotel was aware that we were checking in a day later due to our travel changes.

A few days later, we called the hotel directly. Same outcome. While we were on the phone with them, we made sure (3) separate times that the hotel knew we would be checking in a day later.

Flash forward to arrival—no valets greeted us despite walking up and down the street, slowly, while they looked down at their phones.
Because there didn’t appear to be any bellhops present, we used a trolley that was left on the sidewalk to load our luggage while the valets walked by.

The “feels like” was in the low 20s °F, so this wasn’t an overall fun or convenient experience.

The lobby was overwhelmed with Mardi Gras ball participants and the ingress-egress to the building was choked with guests and employees.
The hotel lobby layout seemed unable to accommodate large groups, especially with the valet stand and line indoors, and walkways were a cluster as a result. I have a feeling the Louisiana State Fire Marshall wouldn’t like it either.

The front desk was a disaster. Despite informing the hotel we would be arriving a day late they tried to charge us an early arrival check-in fee of $50. Once we reminded them at length that we gave them prior notification we would be checking in a day later, they dropped the fee.
Surely there should be a clean room waiting for us because, after all, we paid for a non-refundable room the night before?

The front desk’s version of escalating it to a manager was to disappear into a back office for a couple of minutes and reappear with the same response.
We guess the manager was too cowardly, lazy, self-important or a combination of thereof to speak with us directly. At this point, we weren’t surprised that it was managerial policy to pass the buck.

The front desk assured us the same room would be available.
They stuck us next to the extremely loud mechanical room (thanks for that, guys). Every 2-5 minutes the loud rushing sound of water passing through pipes could be heard for roughly a minute. This woke us up throughout the night.

“River views” were as expected and of the industrial port. The underwhelming view wasn’t made any better by the dirty windows.

The shower door handle for the glass shower door was very loose. Shatter hazard.

The elevators require each person riding them to scan their room key to access their floor. In theory this sounds great for security purposes. In practice, it was chaos. The hotel was packed and so were the elevators. Every single time we got in an elevator this was causing confusion and awkward interactions for guests. On more than one occasion another guest missed their floor and had to catch them on the way down. This could be solved with one room key accessing all floors.

Overall, this is an embarrassing property lacking the customer service one comes to expect from a Hilton flag.

We won’t be returning to the Hilton Baton Rouge Capitol Center and instead will be opting for more reliable choices like the Watermark or Hotel Indigo the next time we stay in downtown Baton Rouge.

We felt comfortable and enjoyed our stay. It was great to have a small restaurant in the lounge.
Pros:

The breakfast buffet was good, but expensive. There should have been more staff working during the very crowded Sunday morning hours.

Cons:

Not enough staff during busy Sunday morning buffet hours. We never got coffee and water until we eventually got someone's attention. Staff was stressed out.

Pros:

A dated hotel but great service and location. The breakfast was excellent!

Cons:

The furniture in the elevator lobbies on each floor needs replacement. Not enough lighting in our room.
