Here for a February conference, I was lodged in one of the enormous suites (half the hotel is suites, half rooms) with a kitchenette. The hotel is modern and roomy, very clean and efficient. Some of the upper-floor rooms have a fine view over the University Lake. The beds are remarkably good, including (unusually!) the pillows. Breakfast is simple, cooked... More

I was a distance learning student with LSU and had to travel to campus to take one last exam. I stayed here 3 nights. Check-in and Check-out were very easy. They serve a breakfast and a lunch. They give you paper slips for breakfast when you check in. Don't lose them. I forgot a couple of mornings and had to... More

I stayed at the Cook hotel on a recent weekend. I had a king room on the top floor and my room was small but clean and well appointed. My room was across from the maids supply room and there was a lot of noise in the morning. Otherwise it was quiet. The breakfast buffet was good but the tables... More

The Cook Hotel is located on the campus of LSU, which is great if you are doing business on campus. Otherwise, it is not located near any restaurants or shopping. You will definitely need a car to get anywhere. The hotel provides breakfast, but you are on your own for any other meals and there are no restaurants nearby. The... More

Have stayed at this hotel several times while visiting the LSU campus. It's perfectly located on the Lakeside Drive. Downside is it's very traditional and quite old, so amenities are sparse, our carpet was badly stained, the plumbing and shower power was not the best, and it's not inexpensive. We also found it very noisy being there at a busy... More

First class accommodation. Very clean and comfortable. In the grounds of the LSU. A car needed as the campus is out of town. Breakfasts were of a great standard.

Great location right on the LSU campus. Across the street from the LSU Lake with a great 4 mile running trail. Comfortable rooms, friendly staff.

Pros: 1. The hotel is situated on the LSU campus and very convenient if you have meetings there. The hotel is also near the lake, but that by no means will guarantee you a lake view. I ended up looking at the building in front of the lake - and I suspect many others had my same experience. 2. Hotel... More

I stayed here 2 nights as part of a business meeting and in general, it's a good hotel, convenient to LSU, with easy access to a pretty park with paths and a lake. But, since I had no car, I found it difficult to really get around the rest of the city from here. The included breakfast was very tasty,... More
