These people will steal anything you leave at their hotel! Management is not helpful at all they gave me the run around for three days Nothing in the room worked!! What am i paying all this money for! The worst part was that i took my own trash out of my room i seperated the dirty towels, cleaned the shower because they don’t do that ( the previous room users body hair was everywhere) and i left a thankyou note for housekeeping and they still stole my things Sad

Disgraceful Never coming back by choice

Absolutely enjoyed our stay at this hotelThe room we got had the bedroom separate from the living space and we really enjoyed thatHuge bathroom and the bed was big and very comfy

The breakfast was one of the better ones I have seen in a while, fresh scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, gravy and biscuits, waffles and cereal and bagels The breakfast was buffet style and very professionally done and maintainedNot very expensive and it was a $40 deposit for our dog to be in the room with us

DEBIT CARD STOLEN FROM HOTEL ROOM BY STAFF!I’ve been a hilton member for 6+ years, staying at their hotels for over 200 nights per year and this is the first time I’ve experienced something similarBe very careful when you stay at this hotel I had to live through hell whenever somebody got into my room, stole my debit card and used it at a gas station in Baton Rouge

Even though the manager confirmed somebody from his team entered the room but didn’t clean it, he said the cameras were not working and that I should go to the police He washed his hands even though he knew someone was in the room whenever they were not supposed to

Sherry Jackson

Unclean Breakfast area needs someone to actually USE the vacuum cleaner Shower curtain in room looked as though No one EVER thought to take it down and wash or use bleach

It’s hookless which means you can take it down and throw it in the washer in less than 5 minutes The cloth desk chair in the room and ones in the breakfast needed to be taken out back and burned with that many nasty stains! Get wood chairs Just shameful! Glad I travel with lysol and odoban Hilton should really consider releasing this property I expected sooooo much more because it is a Hilton property One star because the sheets were white But I put my own sheet over them because you just don’t know

The location is not a Fairfield Inn and Suites by Marriott it is a Best Western I was checked into a room that had not yet been serviced I was then checked into another room that was not properly cleaned

My comforter, pillow, and bathroom wall had blood stains on it There was a used washcloth hanging in the bathroom and the toilet was nasty I cleaned the toilet myself with the Clorox wipes I brought along with me I mentioned it to the front desk manager and he had this attitude as if he really did not care He proceeded to tell me that he is not the one that did it I was not looking for a refund or anything I didn’t mention anything about a refund I just wanted to let him know so he can inform housekeeping of the poor job they are doing People spend all this money to stay at hotels and is greeted to those kind of things That is just horrible Not to mention I had to strip the bed myself, go get fresh linen and make the bed myself I had my 5 month old baby with me and he puts everything in his mouth It was just horrible I shouldn’t have to clean the toilet and make the bed myself I paid my money and everything should have been done from the get go

Shawann Carter

This hotel so sad I didn’t want to put a star but I had to just to put review Hotel and the management needs help The hotel just as nasty as the manager attitude

The room that was reserved for us had bloody comforter and manager was unbothered by it Pool was closed (which we were not advised) This place is a do not return for me I had a family vacation of 7 (3 adults and 4 kids) which all became sick at our stay at this hotel NEVER AGAIN!!!!!!! The mew management should have invested in projects the way he keeping this place up because I know for a fact this not the way a hotel should be ranOh yea and keep your voice down 9 o’clock is quiet time

M. Fruge’

My husband and I was passing through and it was cheaper than the Drury and the others we usually goes to However, we got what we paid for The bed wasn’t the best & breakfast was cold and bagged like commodity food, I guess

Like I said, you get what you pay for going cheap! Ik we will stick to what we’re used to next time Customer service was nice & professional

Katherine Cykes

Both of my visits at the Sleep Inn were very relaxing The room’s cleanliness was immaculate, the noise was super low, and the bed was cozy That said, the real cherry on top was the kindness and courtesy of the staff members

The receptionist and her supervisor were super understanding of my own mistake with forgetting my debit card for the deposit when I received a pre-paid stay from my companyNot only did she let me use her phone to call my boss to straighten it out, but they were willing to waive the deposit as a one-time grace Doing everything to help me and reaching the extra mile, providing a lovely room, and all at a reasonable price earns the Sleep Inn a solid 5 Star review Will definitely be doing business again!and I won’t forget my debit card next time

The staff was very helpful, nice and accommodating The room was nice and clean with the exception of a stain on the comforter that we did not use The people around us were very quiet and respectful and even though we had pets (as did other people), I never heard any dogs barking

The location was easy to access being pretty much right off the highway We were able to pull our 20 foot uhaul and a load on top car trailer into the parking lot The staff next door (you can walk right over from the hotel) at the Waffle House were fantastic as well The breakfast in the morning had a good selection for us and everything was fresh I 100% would stay here again if we were passing through

Les A

Nice room The first room next to the lobby, so a little noisy The tub faucet was wonky and kept spinning around instead of cold to hot, but we got it to work

Everything was new and clean The hotel is clean and well kept Breakfast was standard fare But not bad Service was very good

I have stayed overnight twice at this place and I highly recommend it to anyone The people and service is wonderful I like the location even though it is next to a major street with heavy traffic I found it quiet and I slept very well in those nice comfortable beds

I needed ice for my little travel chest and they supply it It is right next to a convenient store I walked over and picked up a few things Breakfast was delicious and very well provided with many things Rooms are very clean and everything was great I will be staying there again in the future

Beth savedbygrace

Wonderful hotel! Price was great! Close to the interstate, with a few eating options, Starbucks and a couple gas places very close Great curb appeal Super clean hotel

Nice pool and hot tub Attendants were very nice Only thing I could even comment on that wasn’t great, was breakfast had more limited options then some Will stay again

G W (Kaiser 831)

The hotel has been recently renovated and I think they did a very good job with the exterior facelift and interior design changes The breakfast in the morning was more than adequate and well stocked at all times Rooms were not as quiet as could have been, but outside noises were absent during core sleep hours

Rooms had a mini-fridge and microwave just in case you need it Small outdoor pool and indoor gym equipment appeared to be well kept Prices for the rooms were reasonable for the area The area also had plenty of restaurants nearby for dinner As I was traveling with the family pet, it was nice to find a hotel that allows pets, for an additional $20 surcharge

We a family of 4 stayed here in July 2022 for four nights and we enjoyed it The beds are comfy The hot breakfast taste good! Con was they would run out of some foods and one day the breakfast staff called in sick so the front desk lady had to do double duty and run the breakfast

She did great under the condition Our room, breakfast area, and everywhere else was clean The black out shade in our room would come off the track ( needs to be replaced ) and the light fixture in our room near the door did not work We would stay here again

Debra May

Upon arrival at the front desk, I met a beautiful soul by the name of Holly She was just as sweet as can be My first words to her were, “you look exhausted!” She smiled & stated that she was

She seemed to be working short handed & with a major dance convention & baseball tournament going on in the area, she held this place down & rocked her customer service skills Major kudos to her & a huge thanks for being you When I entered the room, it was exceptionally clean & smelled fresh I always clean with my Clorox wipes then spray Lysol & the wipes were clean afterwards except for the toilet handle There was a little food stain on the comforter which meant that it hadn’t been changed but it was nothing major to complain about as I travel with my own linen The only issue that I had was the drain in the bathtub was stuck & the water wasn’t draining properly My stay was good & I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone looking to stay in the area

We stayed 1 night at this hotel, on our travels to Texas We were a little early at check in but Cynthia at the front desk got are room ready for us right away Cynthia at the front desk is so helpful and super sweet! Her smile and friendliness is so welcoming when you first walk into the hotel!! The kids were hungry from our travel so she gave them a snack to hold them over until we get some food

If your traveling through this area you cant go wrong with staying here!

Gregorio & Joi Armand

Great food and excellent service! We stayed for one night while en route to Florida for our kids’ band camp Embassy Suites Baton Rouge’s customer service definitely deserves 5 stars! 1) My daughter needed a quiet room to practice her saxophone Without hesitation, we were allowed to use a vacant conference room

2) My son needed a haircut, so a Hilton staff member recommended a local barber My husband called the barber and he explained that he usually doesn’t accept walk-ins, but was able to fit my son in his schedule within 30 minutes of the call! 3) There was a landscaping company replacing the plants inside of the hotel I jokingly asked one of them what they did with the old plants He smiled and handed me a beautiful plant that I hope to enjoy for a long time 4) Lastly, breakfast was excellent They make THE BEST omelettes and have the freshest fruit Until next time…

Camesha Hogan

This hotel is perfectly situated within immediate access to a variety of entertainment, restaurants, as well as the interstate Rooms are spacious, clean, and moderately updated Breakfast was unbelievably satisfying, as were the drinks during their free cocktail hours at their full service restaurant

However, the true stars of this place is the staff, ESPECIALLY Cameron Calhoun on the evening shift at the front desk Cameron was exquisitely pleasant, and the term “over-the-top” doesn’t even convey his professional , yet lighthearted demeanor! He is a fine representation of southern hospitality at its finest! Though we didn’t receive our welcome bag on our first night (checked in by someone different), he made sure we received one Cameron Calhoun is the epitome of an individual with impeccable character, and represents this fine hotel chain in such an outstanding way! Excellent job Embassy!

The key card readers barely worked at our door and at the pool We saw folks having try try and swipe several times to even get a light on the readers The digital key just plain didn’t work

Also, I realize we’re 24 months deep with COVID, and masks are optional, but it’s just plain silly for those staff members that choose to wear them, had them below the nose and mouth, either wear it right or don’t wear oneThe rooms are alright, the lighting needs some help being super dim, and nothing substantial to light up the bathroom

Rhonda McDaniel

The hotel and rooms were nice We had a room with 3 adults Advised on first night if we could get set up for 3 people instead of just 2 for towels

Every morning and evening we had to go to the desk and ask for more towels Was also told to put our dirty towels in the hallway where they sat I’d asked for room service to come in and clean, take trash and used towels Was told that bc we had multiple days they only came in when asked Even after asking they still didn’t come in The pillows on the bed were the size of accent pillows for your couch and only 2 on the bed When we booked the breakfast was complimentary On the first night we found out that it was now $15 a person which was absolutely priced too high for the few items they had I would not book at this location again

Melissa Edwardsen

I can see this is a refurbished hotel I chose this over Home2 because of the pictures The lobby looked new but the elevators and rooms were average

In parts of the room there were rusts The AC in the bedroom didn’t work I chose a room and didn’t realize that the bathroom was situated outside of the bedroom across the living room Not nice in there at allplus carpet was old

If I could give negative stars I would!!! Room did not have an iron when front desk provided one it did not work My husband killed 4 bugs in this room I’m so over this hotel

When I told the staff I had bugs in my room she only offered bug spray like it was normal that the hotel had bugs Wish I could post a picture of the red bug Not sure what type of bugs but we threw everything away and bought new clothes and bags Didn’t want to take a chance on taking anything home

Come on, Hilton, you’re better than this Housekeeping and maintenance are slacking off1

Door latch was very loose (See photo) Had to call to get them to fix the door latch You would think housekeeping would’ve reported itIt was missing one of the three screws that holds it on the door They tightened the other two screws but did not replace the missing screw, probably because they didn’t have oneI requested a different room but there wasn’t one available2 I found leftover food in my room — a half eaten food bar on the desk that slides under the other desk Disgusting4 No bar soap at the bathroom sink5 No paper towels6 Tub, sink and base of toilet need to be re-grouted7 Room was not ready when I arrived at 4:00 PM Check-in is 3:00 PM8 The seat cushions on the chairs in the breakfast area are disgustingly stainedAll this and yet they were sold outI will not be back
