5 star hotel 3 star prices
Pros:

This is a 5 star hotel with 3 star prices !! Fantastic.
Clean, quiet, comfortable, safe area/parking, wifi, great room & ,bathroom, accouterments, lovely location. Everything top notch.

Cons:

Nowhere to eat dinner either in the property or anywhere near it - had to resort to packaged corporate "pastries" from a Circle K !!
Don't give them your true email as they'll dunn you with ads.

Not good
Pros:

The only thing i liked about this property is that it was 5-6min from the assembly where the graduation were held and not far from the restaurant “The Chimes” the breakfast was ok. It was set up as buffet style but was not buffet

Cons:

Room 328 shower was so bagged up it took over an hr for the water to drain out that we had to call someone in to pump it with a plunger. Had to leave the room door open to get air from the living room area because it was extremely stuffy and hott. Did not sleep well

Some small rooms. Best to book the next class up
Pros:

It’s always a pleasure to stay at The Cook Hotel. The staff is so friendly and welcoming, and the property itself is what any University would want as a representative hotel. A couple watch-outs: The lowest priced rooms are tiny and have a single tiny window in the back corner of the room - that’s it. If you like light, confirm the room layout before booking, I found that the next class up is generally just a few more dollars and worth the difference.
The beds can be a little saggy- especially on the side that seems to be where most guests like to sleep. Other sides of the bed(s) are fine. The pillows are flat and the door to the mini fridge cabinet fell off its hinges when I opened it. But, all that said, it’s still my preferred hotel in Baton Rouge.

Pros:

The room wasn’t clean and the bath water was a cloudy brown color. The bathroom door looked like a dog ate up the bottom. The hotel elevators and common areas were not maintained and had damages that looked neglected for years. The hotel definitely needs a renovation. Do not recommend!

Pros:

This hotel stay was amazing! From the moment we were greeted at check in by Ms. Green, to our visit to the gift shop, up until checkout, everyone was so friendly and welcoming. My only regret is that we didn’t stay longer! Will definitely be booking again.
