I couldn't be happier with my stay at this hotel. The rooms were spotless, spacious, and well-equipped with all the amenities you could need. The staff was always friendly and went above and beyond to make my stay enjoyable. The location, especially for sports fans like me, was a huge selling point, being within walking distance of all the major stadiums. On the downside, the dining options left something to be desired, lacking variety and quality at times.

The hotel was conveniently located right on campus, ideal for attending LSU events. The rooms, while smaller than expected, were always clean and comfortable. The service was courteous and attentive, with helpful staff. However, the dining options lacked variety and quality. The prime selling point is the close proximity to LSU, Alex Box, and Tiger Stadium.
