#2 of 2 hotels in LSU & Southgate by Axel's take. LSU & Southgate is #2 of 6 places to stay in Baton Rouge. The best hotels in LSU & Southgate, ranked · Where to stay in Baton Rouge

Axel's take: 8.3/10

A strong LSU base, with clean rooms and more campus character than polish. an independent, LSU-themed 3-star hotel on campus, scored for what it is.

The Cook is an independent, LSU-themed 3-star hotel whose biggest advantage is being right on campus beside University Lake. It's a strong pick for university visits and conferences: recent Expedia and Tripadvisor guests repeatedly praise the cleanliness, comfortable beds and friendly staff. Free parking helps, and the hotel’s kitchen-equipped suites make sense for families wanting more space. The outdoor pool is another useful extra.

Expect traditional rather than contemporary style; some guests find standard rooms compact and the decor dated. Breakfast draws both praise and criticism, and Expedia currently lists it as an extra charge, so check your booking’s inclusions. A few reviews also flag air-conditioning or shower-temperature problems, although these do not dominate the recent feedback. We'd choose it for LSU convenience, not for a polished luxury stay or a full-service dining experience.

Best for: LSU campus visits and sporting events; Conference attendees; Families booking kitchen-equipped suites
Watch out for: Some compact rooms and dated decor; Breakfast may cost extra; Occasional cooling and shower-temperature complaints
Location: On LSU’s campus beside University Lake, particularly convenient for university business and events.
Rooms: Comfortable beds receive praise; standard rooms can feel compact, while selected suites offer kitchens.
Cleanliness: A consistent strength across recent Expedia and Tripadvisor feedback.
Service: Friendly, helpful staff earn frequent praise, with occasional complaints about follow-through.
Amenities: Outdoor pool, gym, bar/lounge and conference facilities; do not expect a full-service restaurant.
Fees and surprises: Self-parking is free; Expedia lists breakfast and extra beds as chargeable, so confirm inclusions.
