The Cook Hotel is a hidden gem located right on LSU’s campus. The rooms are well appointed, the breakfast is great, and the gift shop is another bonus! I have stayed here 3 times in the last 8 months and since my son will be a freshman in the Fall, I wouldn’t want to stay anywhere else!

We had another great stay at The Cook. It is so convenient for visiting our daughter on the LSU campus. Clean and comfortable. Friendly staff. We absolutely love the LSU store across from the main desk. It is a hidden gem for LSU fans. The gentleman who worked there was also extremely kind and helpful. We would recommend staying at The Cook if you’re ever in the area.
