We love staying at the Cook anytime we come to Baton Rouge to visit our Tiger. It’s the best hotel in town, so it’s hard to book at times. Everything about it is fantastic.

Took 3 trips down to the front desk to actually get a room . The staff was unprofessional , unfriendly , and had a bad attitude . The initial room key issued actually opened the door to a room that someone was already staying with all of their personal belongings in the room that we accessed

The hotel was okay. It’s a little dated…the room furniture, TVs and technology outlets could use an update.
