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!

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.

We had a great stay at the Cook Hotel during our freshman kiddo drop off to college. Hotel is part of LSU , located on university property which is super convenient. Our double room got upgraded to suite. Room was spotless clean and beds are very comfortable. The only issue was with AC not cooling very well due to heat advisory, so room was a bit too warm for my liking. Staff is very professional and friendly. We will definitely stay here again.

Great location, terrible service

This hotel is well-located and offers a pretty average complimentary breakfast. We have stayed previously and returned because of the convenience to the LSU campus. On this stay, we traveled with a toddler and housekeeping proved to be a huge failure. On our second day they made the bed and gave us fresh towels but ignored all of the cleaning aspects so we returned after a 14 hour work day to find the garbage pail full (including soiled diapers). Dirty towels on the bathroom floor. No vacuuming. No cleaning sinks. The coffee maker malfunctioned so there was a tray and several cups that required attention. There was also no replenishing of water, shampoo or the courtesy coffee. We told the front desk and they assured us management would be in touch but that never happened and we were just too tired to seek them out before check out. We felt very insulted by this oversight. It felt intentional.
