Hyatt Place Baton Rouge/I-10
It was fine, I felt it was kind of expensive for the actual room that we got. But over all the staff was very kind and the breakfast was okay. Not a lot of options but they did have amazing fresh strawberry’s.

L'Auberge Casino Hotel Baton Rouge
Everything was great until the last day, The toilet clogged and the sink wouldn't drain correctly, hence the 4 instead of 5 stars. Room was clean, staff was excellent, but really thought there would be a mini fridge in the room.
