Fairfield Inn Baton Rouge

Was able to secure a last minute hotel stay at the Fairfield Inn. The location was ideal as I had an early flight from New Orleans. The room was basic. Two double beds. Nothing fancy. The chair leg was broken, but I didn't report it. I did use the free wi-fi with no problem. Plenty of parking available. Did have the continental breakfast. Mostly pastries, cold cereal, whole fruit, yogurt and the like. The waffle was good. The exercise room looked great; free weights and cardio machines. Shame I didn't have a chance to check it out. Nearby to restaurants if you have transportation. Check out was easy. Not a luxury hotel, but good if just passing through.

A weekend in Baton Rouge

My son and I came to South Louisiana so that I could buy my son a guitar at Stan's Music Shoppe in Hammond. We decided on staying at the Fairfield Inn in Baton Rouge so we could also visit his brother (both are my cousins) and eat at Sammy's Grill in BR. The Fairfield in was great. The free breakfast met all of our expectations; we really appreciate it. The room was very clean; everything worked; and the staff was most courteous. This hotel compares very well to the best I've stayed in, especially considering the price. I highly recommend it. The location is excellent as well.

Very Pleased

The location was great. I felt as if we were in the middle of the city. We visited the downtown area and enjoyed eating at some great local hot spots. The hotel was very clean, rooms were a nice size, and we really enjoyed the variety of items on the complimentary breakfast buffet.

Not so bad

I really thought staff was excellent. I called ahead to make sure that they knew I was going to arrive at midnight. [...]When we arrived the staff called me by name right away and already had me ready to go to my room. After a long drive it was a pleasant suprise to be able to go straight to my room. I had to go to Baton Rouge for a two day class. When I reserved the hotel I liked the fact that they had an indoor pool, hot tub and breakfast served. I looked forward to enjoying every minute I could in pool and hot tub. Needless to say this was the only let down for the trip. There were no towels in the pool area and the hot tub and pool were greensih in color. We enjoyed the free breakfast and the people were friendly. The rooms were nice and had what I needed.
