What guests think

At Econo Lodge Baton Rouge University Area, guests describe a budget, no-frills stay with generally clean rooms and convenient access to LSU and highways, but recurring drawbacks include a very basic breakfast, small pillows, and occasional maintenance or odor issues.

Service is often friendly and responsive, though several reviews cite rude interactions, slow or confusing check-ins, and unresolved requests. The location is central to food and shopping, but being next to a gentlemen’s club and reports of limited parking or a sketchy feel concern some guests. Overall, expect a simple, affordable stopover with trade-offs.

It was ok for one night. I will not stay there again. I didn't like that I had to checkin outside at a booth after 10:00pm. This tells me the area may be a little sketchy.

Was definitely not handicap accessible. There were only steps to get in front door with no ramps. We were supposedly in handicap room but there were no accommodations for handicap person to take shower. There was no water pressure in the sink. Could barely brush our teeth. The shower head ws brokeaand just hanging down in the shower. Works not recommend this place.

This was a great place to stay. We stayed one night and the rooms were very clean, hotel guests were barely heard. The parking lot is well lit and safe. No homeless people anywhere. This hotel serves its purpose for a last minute trip to visit LSU. The continental breakfast was sparse but it had enough to sustain us for lunch. We will definitely stay again for our visits to LSU.

For a budget hotel it’s in good shape. Location is good not too far off the highway with lots of food options and a Walmart right down the street. It is next door to a gentleman’s club. Not sure if that’s a pro or con. 😂 Room was comfortable. AC worked well. Free WiFi. Free parking. Overall a good place at a good price.

The bathroom had hair on the tub and all over the bathroom floor, the pillows were of poor quality, and we were told that we could not have fresh towels, when we asked, because "housekeeping does that in the morning." It's no wonder this hotel doesn't have a great rating.

2nd time staying there this year and enjoyed my stay again. Room was clean and staff was amazing. Only grip would be the smaller pillows on the bed when it comes to the lenght of them. But the were extra fluffy and comfortable. Is in a good central location to alot of food, entertainment and shopping.

The service was really polite, quick to respond if need, clean, close to LSU. It will be back and stay there. Good Price. My only suggestion is to be aware who came late asking for stay, some people got there around 1am really loud and didn’t stop Making noises. And because of that our 1st. Night was terrible. We couldn’t sleep they didn’t stop all night.

The person that checked us in was very rude, seemed confused about our reservation many times, spoke through a glass window, and would not let us into the hotel until we received our keys (old-fashioned "night window" was demeaning, checking in while standing outside in the rain). Unacceptable service.

I booked two nights at this place. It’s next door to a strip club but that’s not what bothered me. The manager/owner??? was what upset me from the second he spoke to me. He was rude from the first second and throughout my stay. I was in town because my brother is on life support and he made a terrible time worse. After I checked out they called me and accused me of stealing a pillow!! When I stepped into the room the first thing I noticed was the 4 throw pillows on the bed. Not one full sized pillow at all! I was even going to go ask for one but didn’t want to deal with his attitude. Then they call saying they’re charging me 25$ for a non existent pillow! Expedia was awesome and understanding and fixed the problem immediately. THANK YOU EXPEDIA! Oh and I noticed every negative review the property says it’s fraudulent and unverified but this review is neither!

WiFi didn’t work, shower knob didn’t work, blood or semen stains visible on top mat, and charged a pet fee for a licensed service dog (that’s against the law—but how much will you argue over $20? Report this to the DOJ if they do it to you. They’ll at least fine them.). The manager/owner wouldn’t even respond to complaints made calmly, in person, face to face. Like stood there as if he weren’t hearing my words or didn’t know what they meant. It was bizarre. Checked out around midnight just to get away from there.

I stayed at Econo Lodge Baton Rouge University Area. The staff were kind and welcoming, especially Mr. Omar, the humble manager running what seems to be a family-owned business. The room was clean and organized, and the area was quiet; suitable for rest or study. The location is convenient, close to marts, restaurants, and several universities. While affordable, several issues led me to cancel the rest of my reservation at this hotel. The "free breakfast" was just coffee and a few snacks—definitely not a real breakfast. One of the biscuits was so dry it almost broke my son's teeth and should be removed. Towels were very old and worn out, and one housekeeper lacked basic professional etiquette. In the end, thus hotel is economically great and is a suitable option for travelers who just need a simple place to relax for a few hours.

Smaller hotel with 30 rooms but good for us after traveling from Mexico to Baton Rouge. Very close to good food and other shopping places. A little bit noisy with the strip club next door but nothing to crazy. Room could use a lamp or two as the only lights are the overhead lights, so either they are on or no lights. Also Breakfast is about as minimal as you can get. We arrived at 815 am, eggs gone, sausage cold, no milk (they did bring more out) and 2 small tables already full so back to the room we went. Is ok for proximity, can't complain.
