Extended Stay America Select Suites - Baton Rouge - Citiplace
This property is more for long term stays. It doesn't really function as a typical hotel. I'm not sure why Expedia included it in my options for a 3 night hotel stay. In one room the AC made too much noise to sleep. In the next room the shower had very little pressure. The staff was very helpful
