The staff was absolutely amazing considering Expedia completely messed up my date of stay once again. Thankfully the hotel found me a room discounted me and tried to cancel the date Expedia did for the next night and no one would respond so I had to pay for the night I didn’t need through the third party (Expedia)

Second time was even better!

Our son recently decided to attend LSU and we were on a college visit. We had stayed at the Cook in the fall and found it extremely convenient. We offered our son to stay anywhere in Baton Rouge this time and he specifically requested a return to the Cook. I am so glad we did! Our flight was terribly late and we arrived after 3am. They had our room ready and the check in was a breeze! Big comfy room and a country buffet in the morning. So convenient and excellent staff. We will be back!
