I would like to know why I was charged $250 holding fee that I will not get back for weeks, if I ever get it back. I ah e heard of hotels charging a $50 holding fee, but that’s ridiculous. The property was fantastic
Staff was very courteous. In the middle of the night, all power went out. It was really really hot in the hallways, even with the power being on. Great location near the university.
First time in Baton Rouge. Great location for LSU visit. Breakfast was awesome! Staff super friendly and helpful and fun! Room was perfect! Will definitely be back.

Good stay just needs cleaned up more the floors were dirty and sticky
Great property. The only issue we had was an extremely loud A/C. It rattled most of the night - rooms were full because of Freshman move-in and we had a long day - too tired to tell the staff but figured they wouldn’t be able to do much.
Clean rooms and pleasant staff. Only one elevator working so had to wait a while sometimes. Convenient location. Breakfast buffet was sparse but am sure everyone can find at least something to their liking. Coffee available 24 hours.
This is the second time we have stayed at this property and I absolutely love it! The rooms are wonderful and spacious and extremely clean! The staff is absolutely incredible especially Peter who went above and beyond to resolve an issue that I had! I have to go back-and-forth several times a day to LSU and this property is extremely convenient for that, in addition the breakfast is delicious! Highly recommend this property to anyone who wants to feel like family during their stay!
5 stars!! We went for my daughter's LSU gymnastic camp and it was only 5 minutes away. The staff was excellent and very friendly, always greeting us when we walked in or out. Our room was also clean and beds were comfortable - we got a 2 queen suite. They had everything in the kitchen - stovetop, toaster, microwave, pans / pots, dishes, cups, silverware and even glass tupperware! I like splenda with my coffee and this place had it (rare at hotels). Plenty of parking and plenty of restaurants nearby (even one attached to establishment). I will definitely come back.
I was there for a camp on LSU campus, it was very convenient. Plenty of places to eat close to hotel. The hotel was very nice and clean. The curtains in our room needed replacing, they were torn. The breakfast was good and the area was excellent, I wish this area was available for hanging out with family and friends. The staff answered any questions but were not friendly.

Door keys wouldn’t open door when we finally got to room so had to go back down to lobby. Fridge in room would not go a good cold for food likes meats and cheese. No one there to assist with breakfast in morning. Pancake maker wouldn’t work. No ice left for drinks. Another guest called to lobby to ask for help and no one came. I walked to down to lobby to get someone to come up. Came up to fill the ice but no one ever found the person in charge of breakfast to fix machine.

I had a great experience at Sonesta. From the moment I arrived, the staff was friendly, welcoming, and attentive. The hotel was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, making my stay very enjoyable.
One of the highlights of my visit was having the opportunity to meet the General Manager. She was extremely professional, personable, and genuinely cared about the guest experience. It was clear that her leadership sets the tone for the entire team because every staff member I encountered represented her and the hotel exceptionally well.
Excellent customer service is hard to find, and the team at Sonesta delivered it consistently. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a comfortable stay with outstanding hospitality.
Best location if you’re visiting LSU. We were close to everything and it made things super convenient. We would stay here every time we visit my son at LSU, but it books up quickly for events or weekends during football and baseball season.
