I was in Baton Rouge for a business meeting and was looking for an inexpensive place to stay. THIS was a great deal. I saw it advertised in the coupon books that you can get at welcome centers etc and decided to try it. I was VERY impressed! The room was clean and comfortable, and had a fridge and microwave...

The management and staff at the Magnuson Hotel Baton Rouge were helpful and welcoming from the moment I walked into the lobby without a reservation. The clean and well cared for appearance of the place was reassuring and I felt safe the whole week I stayed. It's set back from the highway, so there's not much traffic noise. Everything in... More

The service at the front desk was very poor! The front desk person did not know what they were doing! No ashtrays in a smoking room! Bathroom has burn marks all over it! Hair all over tub and ice bucket! Will not stay here again!

The only reason this place receives a 2 rather than a 1 is for this: awesome location, great price. The great price doesn't say much considering it wasn't even worth near what we payed. No towels, no remote, the bed was disgusting, the floor looked like it hadn't been clean for years, and the bathroom was a wreck. I would... More

I was weary of this motel due to certain reviews, but I stayed here because most hotels were booked for such a big LSU game that weekend. It's just off I-12 with several other similar motels although my navigation tried to send me on a wild goose chase. The motel is also very convenient to I-10 and to LSU. It... More

Great spot for staying close the the airport when leaving out of Louisiana. A bit far out if you're wanting to go to New Orleans for some sight seeing, but overall a good spot. The staff were friendly and helpful when we had questions. I would recommend for quick stays.
