Reviews for Belle of Baton Rouge Hotel

Review 1：Great location walking distance to downtown; very nice and helpful staff; greatly appreciated the late check-out after running a marathon; good free breakfast; easy access to I-10; ample free parking.

Review 2：We asked for a non smoking room. As soon as we walked in the room it smelled like cigarettes and smoke. Asked if we could have a room on the 1st floor we got the 6th floor. We alsofound two cigarette butts in the room. Found gum on the floor from a previous people that stayed in the room.

Review 3：The floor I stayed on was full of really loud teenagers running back and forth banging on doors. I was hoping for a romantic night but it was inturepted when one of them pulled the alarm & it went off for over an hour at 1 am.

Review 4：I stayed on New Year's Eve & had an amazing view of the fireworks over the river.

Review 5：Staff was rude in the casino. Telephone wouldn't work in the room. Room was very outdated. Not even a flat screen tv. Charged my card a extra $50 for deposit and I have to wait 10 days to get it back. And after being there for 6 hours...still couldn't get anything drink or eat bc it was for vip only on New Year's Eve. The bar in the hotel didn't even open at all after we were told by the staff it opens at 4pm. The entire experience at this hotel was terrible and we will never go back.

Review 6：The room was horrible. It wasn't cleaned. The toilet, microwave,and refrigerator were disgusting. There was old food on the end tables, scuff marks and hand prints on the wall, a dried red substance on the vents of the ac unit, as well as mold on the vents and in the bathroom. To put the icing on the cake there were roaches crawling in the refrigerator, coming out of the armoire where the tv was, in the bathroom, and crawling up the walls and across the floor. We were moved to another room which exhibited the exact problems!! Upon checkout,the $50 deposit was credited to my husband's card. He was told it would be credited back within 7 to 10 days. Never had that happen before.

Review 7：The friendly staff.

Review 8：too many teenagers unsupervised very noisy!!! at 4 in the morning.

Review 9：Enjoyed the stay was in a good location if we wanted to walk down town for other entertainment. we did

Review 10：Room had broken AC, no other rooms available for our first night. Maintenance man tried his best to fix it but at 11:30pm decided the AC was dangerous to run and the room needed a new AC. We were promptly transferred to another and much better room for the second and third nights. We were treated fairly and as a frequent business traveler I appreciate this.

Review 11：Great location, great customer service, breakfast was good.

Review 12：We were woken late at night by a "emergency alarm" to vacate the hotel - we were on the 8th floor. About halfway down the stairs the other occupants decided to return to their rooms . The alarm was not cancelled !

Review 13：View of the Mississippi - but from the casino which was not mentioned when we booked this hotel - not wanted.

Review 14：I travel with a service dog and was treated extremely poorly she is completely certified even through the Department of Defense but everywhere I went they treat me like crap and actually violated some of my civil rights I also was not up to my cleaning standards and it still had the coffee stuff that was made in the coffee maker by the previous person that was in there and they didn't leave coffee or anything so they never checked it it was also extremely dusty on top of everything the walls have paint missing it was an embarrassment to that establishment

Review 15：The Christmas tree was decorated pretty but that is it I have no positive things to say about the hotel

Review 16：Friday morning there was an alarm asking everyone to vacate the hotel. We were told not to use the elevators use the stairway . My husband i did whats we were told to do. Our room was on the 10th floor my husband needs a lung transplant . It was very hard for him to walk 10 flights of stairs. When we got to the lobby i asked what was the emergency and was told it was only a test. Well that should have been told to the guess. This was horrible to make us fush down the stairs with my husband with his medical problem.

Review 17：The lady that took care of valet

Review 18：It was not clean, there were no blankets for the beds and the hotel shuttle for the airport only runs after 7:00 am on Sunday's. One of the reasons I booked the hotel was for the free shuttle. We also had to call for the shuttle when we got in and it took about half hour.

Review 19：The beds were comfortable and the location was convenient.

Review 20：I was in town for the Texas AM/LSU game with some friends, so we didn't hang out in the hotel room all that much. The rooms were not bad for the price, maybe a little worn, but not too bad. The breakfast is not the best in the world, but hey, it comes with the room. I really enjoyed the friendly staff all through the hotel and casino. Everyone was more than helpful and very outgoing. Also like the location, just a very short walk over to 3rd street where you will find many bars/grills for whatever mood you're in; we visited a few but enjoyed Schlittz & Giggles, Lucy's Bar & Restaurant, both had really good food and great staff as well.

Review 21：Room was dirty! Outdated. Wallpaper falling off walls in hall. No toiletries! Valet parking very understaffed. Breakfast buffet was not stocked. Empty coffee and bacon. Casino was outdated.

Review 22：Location was close to Tiger Stadium

Review 23：The pillow and bed were both very uncomfortable, the bathroom was small, and so was the TV.

Review 24：The architecture inside the atrium was fantastic. The hotel staff were respectful and helpful. The A/C in the room was great!

Review 25：Room was hot and stuffy but everything else was just fine. Staff was super accommodating, breakfast was wonderful, clean rooms, small bathroom but for the $$ it was a great place to stay.

Review 26：The service at the Shucks restaurant. The quality of the bedding. I saw two roaches in my room.

Review 27：The location was convenient to the conference I was attending. The complimentary breakfast.

Review 28：It was not the cleanest place I've ever seen. My bathroom floor was covered in someone else's pubic hair and housekeeping didn't even make my bed till 3 p.m. there was potato chip bags on the floor that was not ours

Review 29：I like having the casino the restaurants and the bar all in the same hotel and I never had to walk outside in the rain

Review 30：Room was dirty and had no blankets or access. Only had the one employee at the desk. Extremely hard to find parking

Review 31：Location close to activities 13th Gate Haunted Attraction

Review 32：Staff seemed unconcerned whether we enjoyed our stay. Most pleasant person we encountered was a housekeeper. She was very sweet.

Review 33：Came for football game. Location was good, shuttle service was great except they charged our cc twice.

Review 34：Maid left room door open after cleaning in the morning found door wide open when we returned about 4pm. House keeper offered us a measly 30 dollar voucher to spend in a restaurant on site. As this was our last day in B R we had decided to go out on the town for the evening but to get value for the vouchers we had to spend the evening in the hotel. There was no manager on duty at the time nor the next morning when we checked out. We would not recommend this hotel to anyone other than an addicted gambler.

Review 35：Not a lot.

Review 36：Roaches were rampant in the room. Wouldn't stay here again if it were free. Even worse, when you could get waited on by front desk (they stood around talking to each other for several minutes before waiting on me), they were totally uninterested.

Review 37：Good location.

Review 38：Located on the upper floor, the noises where loud and consistent which made it difficult to sleep with young children as well as guests being loud every night in the early hours.

Review 39：I never stayed at the location. They list my reservations. The was no parking other than valet. The manager wouldn't allow me time to look for my reservation and made me move from under the pavilion.

Review 40：N/A

Review 41：I didn't like the fact that they didn't have my room I hadbooked 2 days prior. The supervisor was rude and unaccommodating. When Ichecked later in the evening if a room had come available, I was told nowithout the supervisor even checking the computer. I had to ask her todo so since she had been gone from the front desk for awhile. How couldshe possibly know since she'd obviously been gone. The front desksupervisor is racist against light skin people. I will never go back tosuch an establishment

Review 42：I reserved a non smoking room when i chen into to my room it smelled like cigarettes they did move me rooms though bi aslo reserved a room on a higher floor and did not recieve my request

Review 43：Convient to attractions

Review 44：They didn't have a coffee pot in the room. Small roaches in the bathrooms. The breakfast was nonexistent. For what I paid for the room, I was very disappointed.

Review 45：When we arrived meals in the hotel had finished so we had to get a snack meal in the casino.

Review 46：We were not expecting a casino so it was quite a novelty. The surroundings and decor were brilliant. Room was good and clean

Review 47：Room had a very bad smell, should have switched rooms...the rest of the hotel was nice and clean

Review 48：Location to LSU stadium was great, drinks at bar were very reasonable

Review 49：No coffee pot in room Bar only open Friday n Saturday night. Waited at bar for 15 minutes before bartender would wait on me ( only 4 others at bar ) Ordered apoetizer at bar took 35 minutes to get cheese sticks and then they were ice cold - sent them back n 15 minutes later received replacement order and it was burnt. Horrible service. Never had worse service.

Review 50：Easy access to I 10

Review 51：Front desk staff was unprofessional, uncaring & somewhat rude. I reserved a King suite bed & was reduced to a double. I asked if there would be a reduction in my rate, I was told no & had to settle for that. Parking on weekends is insufficient and valet parking is non-existent. Front desk staff said that parking was not there problem and you would have to park wherever. Pretty insulting considering the room rates & the fact that this is a so called hotel casino.

Review 52：Location

Review 53：The hotel noises at night, continual humming from somewhere and clanking pipes? Would be nice if staff knew a bit of history of hotel. Was apparently originally a railway building but no info to tell us more.

Review 54：Close to downtown and the walk along the river peaceful. No map of township available but a stocked tourist phamlet shelf.

Review 55：I didnt like that i paid for valet i stayed two nights yall only charged me for one but yall sbould only let people ask cor valet on a cirst come first serve basis if i ask for valet i know my truck is in a safe place if yall run out of spots you shouldn't let anyone else buy a valet pass

Review 56：Room cleanliness was horrible!! In our first room we notice we had a trail of ants in our room after being bitten twice. There was some foot left on the floor by the bed skirting. They switched us to a new room, but this room had a lot of shavings in the bathroom sink and the covers in this room smelled horrible. The front desk did give me back half of my money.

Review 57：The bartenders really worked hard to keep up with the flow of guest that were coming in. Only three bartenders was available. They had to take care of the bar and the dinning room area. They did an amazing job.

Review 58：The rooms and bathrooms need to be updated. The bathroom had like black mold or something on the ceiling and the room was so musty smelling. After staying one night I got sick with bad soar throat (not saying it was the room, can't really prove that) and bad headaches. The bar staff was not very friendly and they were dismissive of customers. Also there was something in on the bed sheet of one of the beds.

Review 59：When you walk into the hotel it is a very cool atmosphere

Review 60：I requested an upper floor with a view of the river instead was given a parking lot view..

Review 61：Overall was a great night for my wife n I. We r planning on doing it again in the near future

Review 62：I didn't take a shower because the tiles were a bit moldy looking and the ceiling in the bathroom also looked moldy. I was not comfortable with it at all.

Review 63：Television had very few channels and the reception was scratchy and "snowy". Wifi was slow and hard to get on. Some of the doors didn't shut behind you unless you pull them hard.

Review 64：Staff was very friendly and helpful. Atrium was beautiful. Buffet both breakfast and dinner were well stocked.

Review 65：On a day pouring down rain when there was quite a chaos going on with people checking in and out, we asked the front desk to borrow an umbrella so we could reach our car in the parking lot and bring it around (and return the umbrella). We were told that we had to buy one for USD 15. This sort of attitude made me realized to never stay again at this hotel nor to recommend it to anyone.

Review 66：Location was quite good near downtown and city center, as well as some other attractions. Room was spacious and bed was comfortable.

Review 67：The fact that the Casino was so far away from the rooms. The Buffet was not actually a buffet. They offered two meat choices and one main choice if you didn't eat rice and salad well you left the buffet hungry.

Review 68：Didn't like the fact that I had to wait hours for my room to be available. It was as if they was use to or expecting a large crowd.

Review 69：Pool closed both (midweek) days I was there, as was the bar. Only one restaurant open so very limited choice for eating on site.

Review 70：Excellent location 10 minutes walk from downtown facilities, free coffee in reception area, free shuttle to Greyhound and airport, comfortable rooms

Review 71：TV had bad connection, shucks on the bayou closed at 8 p.m. we were checking in at 7:45 p.m.

Review 72：Room was clean, liked having access to casino in case wanted to play. Room was clean and comfortabLe.

Review 73：Took us 45 minutes just to check in because the girl didnt know what she was doing and tried saying we didnt have reservations even though I had a printed confirmation! Staff very unfriendly, room was fine, bathroom was disgusting! Over all sooooo not worth how much it cost to stay there, better iff staying at a motel6!

Review 74：floor wet from shower leaking in room, hair dryer stop working, and didn't change bed sheet from last guest.

Review 75：location and pretty nice Hotel. pretty nice hotel in general.

Review 76：Maids were knocking on door early morning even with do not disterb sign on door.

Review 77：Clean, smelled good, quite, excellent breakfast, nice staff. Best stay at a motel in 25 years of travel.

Review 78：Water stinks terribly, and is slimey. Hair dryers and irons are very poor quality. Couldn't wear preferred outfit due to iron incapable of removing wrinkles. The hair dryer was soooo slow it took me over 30 minutes to dry my hair which is chin-length. There was also hair in the bathtub and bathroom floor checking in!

Review 79：Good a/c

Review 80：We wished the room had a fridge, breakfast items weren't replenished frequently enough (we ended up not eating much because a lot was gone), we happened to be there when the air went out in the atrium and there were problems with the sewer (luckily left that day but felt bad for people checking in), felt bad that the smoking area was where people had to walk past to get to the entrance from the parking lot (pool was right there too-a bit awkward).

Review 81：Great Staff, great location, clean rooms. We were very comfortable and took advantage of all the amenities!

Review 82：toilet would not flush, air conditioning in atrium was broken, key to room was constantly failing, bathroom had alot of hair in it, no flat screen tv, no frodge, no microwave

Review 83：free coffee and location to LSU

Review 84：The customer service is horrible. I overheard a housekeeping talking really negative to another housekeeper over the walkie talkie. They didn't bother to turn the walkie talky down. The breakfast buffet staff were slow with refilling the food and had an attitude when greeting guests. Some of the check in staff took their time checking you in often times talking in the phone as if you not even standing there. This hotel has went down and need to do wayyy better.

Review 85：The bed

Review 86：Was not told upfront that pool was closed. Had my grandson with me and we were very disappointed. Found hair in the shower. Very noisy. Valet parking was awful. Brought us the wrong car. That is very scary, could get your car stolen. You guys need to do a better job.

Review 87：Breakfast very good.

Review 88：After reading the reviews after I reserved the room, I stressed over whether I had made a good decision. I found that my stay there was as nice as most high end hotels I have stayed in and I have stayed in many.

Review 89：The bathroom was dirty. Hair and dirt on the floor behind the toilet. vanity was dusty and the mirror had spit on it. Foot prints on the floor from sneakers. No HOT water for shower or bath.

Review 90：It was an average stay. The desk clerk did make an error on my room. She gave me a King when the reservation clearly said a double and I had to go back to the front desk However she did call and ask was everything okay with the room.

Review 91：While I was parking after I checked in, a staff member went to check the room and the room door was left open! This was worrisome for me.

Review 92：A quiet place to stay. Much needed comfort for the purpose of my trip. Staff was friendly and breakfast was great!

Review 93：Staff was extremely rude and Security was horrible! NO - smiles, NO - service, and NO - security - worst hotel experience I ever had!

Review 94：River walk- outside the Belle Hotel

Review 95：I didn't like that there were crumbs on the floor in the room and the staff at the breakfast buffet didn't seem too friendly when asked for anything. The line was backed up several times because no one would restock the food. Every time I got up to get some more coffee or food, someone would come and take away my drink and utensils (about 3 times) and someone actually seated me in that spot. The only other complaint I have is the hotel parking. There was never an open spot in the evening and sometimes during the day. Plus I had no help with my bags. I probably won't stay here again. The staff could have been more friendly - they didnt seem to want to be at work.

Review 96：I liked that the breakfast buffet was included and the atrium was really nice.

Review 97：I paid $123.00 a night for a Deluxe King Room and what got was a king size bed in a small room! I went to celebrate my birthday weekend thinking that since it's a hotel with a casino connected to it that the room would be gorgeous for $123.00 a night! Check in and went to the room to find a small bathroom with old looking toilet and shower that hasn't been updated. So I got out for dinner and I wanted to do vaulted parking but there was no one there. I called the front desk to ask about valet parking and she informed me that it was only one person and they left at 9:00 pm for a family emergency and valet usually stop at 11:00 pm. So I had to ride around the small gated parking lot until a spot became available. Woke up the next morning to watch some tv before I check out and everyone on the screen were green like the Incredible Hulk! This was not a LCD TV that they put on their website about having I their rooms. Check out and had some breakfast at their buffet then left. I honestly don't do reviews on place I been but I felt like I was cheated out of my money! I will NEVER go back to that hotel.

Review 98：The bed was the only thing I like about my stay! It was comfortable and I had a good night rest in it.

Review 99：The room was dated and the cleaning of the room was not very thorough. This was fine for a short stay but not good for a longer stay.

Review 100：The check-in was fast and the front desk agents were very friendly. The hot breakfast included eggs, grits, bacon, sausage, biscuits, sausage gravy, potatoes, assorted pastries, fruit and juices.

Review 101：Not enough dining choices in the area. It's unfortunate there is a casino attached because it did draw an unwanted population but it is far enough away from the rooms that you don't hear any noise or really have to be around ppl who weren't staying as guests.

Review 102：The staff is incredible. Very courteous and informative. It's very clean and the rooms were actually impressive. Nice sheets, comfortable bed. Shower had nice pressure. The breakfast was immaculate! Eggs, bacon, sausage, fruit, toast, muffins, bagels, coffee, orange juice, tea, etc. They even provide handy to-go cups for your coffee and being that we were traveling from SC to Texas we needed it and didn't have to make an extra stop! Also the rooms were very quiet and I did not hear any disturbances at night.

Review 103：One either likes the casino atmosphere or one doesn't and I don't particularly but the actual hotel was fine

Review 104：By the Mississippi, within walking distance of city centre, restaurants . Clean, new facilities, breakfast included, parking free and secure.

Review 105：It's not good for a business trip. Valet took much to long...I spent more time waiting to park and waiting to get my car than anything else that I did while there. After calling down and asking for the luggage trolly, I waited about 20 minutes before I just carried it all down myself (suitcase, garment bag, laptop case, tote & purse).

Review 106：Room was comfortable

Review 107：Room was filthy and not cleaned properly. There was a drink spilled on the nightstand, dried and sticky. The carpet was not vacuumed and there was a joint laying on my carpet. Room had been smoked in.

Review 108：The cleanliness could improve a little.

Review 109：I liked the location an the friendliness of the staff. We were going to a concert at the River Center and we were able to walk. Very convenient!

Review 110：The refrigerators in 2 rooms didn't work but the maintenance man was quick to repair and replace.

Review 111：We loved the location close to so many museums. The hotel is clean, open and airy. We also loved the free morning full breakfast.

Review 112：So much confusion among staff on room reservations. First I had a reservation then I didn't. It changed from one day to the next. Ended up paying a higher rate because someone on staff cancelled my reservation. The train that comes through blowing its horn at 5AM sucked. The food wasn't that good for the Gala this year. Many people walked out when they saw what was being served. Lastly, I was there for four days, my room wasn't cleaned and apparantly you have to tell them to clean your room if you are staying more than one night.

Review 113：Price of rooms Location Friendly staff Casino Nice enviroment

Review 114：Didnt like the fact that i was informed that i could purcjase tickets to Dinner Gala for new yrs eve. But once i tru to buy o there not for sale. Had to re route all plans and went ate at the Hollywood will not stay here again

Review 115：I like the location only

Review 116：This may be a bit picky but the overpowering smell of the new carpet gave me a headache.

Review 117：The location of the hotel to the casino and really good food was a plus. The brand new carpet is really pretty and the new beds are comfortable

Review 118：My only problem was that it needed a bit of updating. Also the bathrooms were small and I didn't like the tile.

Review 119：Overall the hotel was nice and I enjoyed my stay.

Review 120：21% temperary charge to our cc to cover "potential" room damage or clean-up. That's NUTS!!!! Room carpet was dirty, looked like it haden't been vaccumed in several days. Temperature in whole place was cold. Staff all wearing sweaters.

Review 121：Access to/from I10 Value

Review 122：i didnt like that some of the breakfast food that should have been hot was cold,such as the grits and eggs. i didnt like that there was no fridge or microwave in the room.

Review 123：i like the ride down to the casino. and the ride back.

Review 124：IT WAS SO UNCOMFORTABLE AND A RAMDOM STRANGER WENT UP TO THE HOTEL NO ONE STOPED HIM AND HAD TO PAY FOR BUSINESS CENTER 7.28 FIRST TIME EVER. I ASK FOR A CRIB AND JUST IGNORED ME.THIS WAS SO AWFUL NO TOILET PAPER AND TRIED TO CALL DESK THREE TIMES NO ANSWER!!

Review 125：Advertised draft beer 2.50 and oysters at 5:00. Sat outside restaurant 15 min to find out they did not have any draft beer. Went out on street to find place to eat. Came back to hotel bar. Advertised beer for 3.00 out of it. Would not give you a bud light for that price. Adveritsement says close at 12. Bar full and beverage manager decides to close at 11. Refused to serve 4 people at 11. I complained to desk and they brought security in. Way out of line. WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND THIS HOTEL OR CASINO. CASINO WAS SO SMOKY. WORST

Review 126：There was black mold in the air conditioning and the shower. The overall condition of the facility was rundown. Way too expensive for the quality.

Review 127：Secure parking area.

Review 128：The cost of the room was a bit expensive for the size. I usually paid the same amount for a suite.

Review 129：The breakfast was included with the room; however, the breakfast wasn't hot it was Luke warm.

Review 130：The room was disgusting. Toilet was broke for both nights of stay even though called and went to front desk - had to go down to fitness center to use the toilet. Service was rude!

Review 131：Staff, room, uncomfortable bed, bathroom so small could hardly move in it, pool was closed, had to pay to park, I can go on for days here

Review 132：Free breakfast

Review 133：everything, management must have take a vacation at some other groups hotel

Review 134：nothing, although some of the staff were ok in general most had lead in their actions, if you don't bring it with you don't ask because they have nothing!
