The Cook Hotel and Conference Center at LSU

Room was great. Very pleased with it. One of the female staff members behind the front desk was rude. She argued they had pool towels outside by the pool even though we kept telling her they were not there. She then said “well we don't have anymore then” and left it at that. No help in trying to find any or a solution. Then later that evening we called the front desk to get a bath towel and washcloth (we had 4 guests and only 3 towels and washclothes) and same individual answered and said “we don't have any towels or wash clothes. We have a lot of kids staying here and we are out.”

Such a pretty property on the LSU campus. It was easy to check in, staff was friendly and helpful, room was nice and clean. Would definitely stay again and recommend to others.

The standard ("deluxe") rooms are very small, and the one I got was a near windowless cave, with just a tiny round sailboat window, about 6-10 in in diameter. Definitely sub-par product for what is expected in a US hotel.

The convenience and proximity to campus. It was clean and quiet. The problem we had was when we entered the room the smell of cleaning chemicals was so strong. It was overwhelming. I’d never experienced anything like that. Made us nauseous. The room is too small and windows don’t open so the use of that much spray or whatever is inappropriate.

It was great! My only regret is not knowing about this hotel before my stay! For people who want to visit LSU, this is the ideal hotel despite not offering lunch or dinner. We used it for our daughter's graduation and it worked perfectly.

Hotel was rather expensive and included NO amenities. We had to pay extra for breakfast. Staff at front desk on our day of checkout need course in hospitality.
