Excellent does not describe our stay.

Way Above and Beyond Excellent does.

I had heard of this place through a friend, who spoke highly of thier stay. Upon contacting the B&B I explained the situation my family was in. On Dec. 31 our father died (two days earlier), and since none of us live in B. R., several of us needed a place to stay.

Understanding all this, she not only had rooms for us, she kindly offered to open up her home for the gathering after the internment if we had no where else to go. We accepted, and what an awsome job she did. On this short notice she arranged for all the refreshments, and "fillings."

It's good to see there is still a few people out there who still know the value of Southern Hospitality, and what the neighborly thing to do is.

I've stayed at the Stockade multiple times during business trips, and every time I do, I have a wonderful time. I've now stayed in every room on the property, and they are all extremely comfortable and pleasant!

This trip, I stayed in the Escape Room the first week, and the Garden Room the second. Both rooms were up to the standards I have come to expect from such a great property. The house itself is beautiful, as is the surrounding wooded portion of the property.

The Innkeeper and her staff worked to make my stay as pleasant as possible. The innkeeper is always just a phone call away, and was available when I needed her one evening. Also, I am, as always, impressed with the cleanliness of the property.

Continental breakfast was available at any time (muffin, cereal, juice, yogurt). The continental breakfast has moved more to self-serve than my last visit (milk and juice in the dining room fridge), but that makes it even easier in the mornings when you are running late. Of course, I chose the hot breakfast most mornings, which was delicious.

The wireless internet, which is a must for me as a business traveler, was easy to connect to and hassle-free.

Needless to say, I will continue to choose the Stockade for all of my lodging needs in Baton Rouge!

The Stockade is one of our favorites. We first spent a week there several years ago, and have returned twice for overnight stays. We enjoy and recommend the Rex Room. This bed competes favorably with the Westin "Heavenly Bed". Our experience has always been first class, from accommodations, to service and breakfast. Janice, the inkeeper, is a helpful, personable and accomodating hostess. Her insights and stories about local history and current affairs contribute to a travelers enjoyment of a visit to the area. We don't even consider other options when traveling to Baton Rouge.

The location was beautiful and the house was very nicely furnished. Breakfast was mediocre, at best. One felt like they were asking a huge favor to request items other than cold cereal...milk and cream had soured and the innkeeper was nowhere to be found! Room, although nicely furnished, need a bit more thorough cleaning. I'd probably check out other alternatives for lodging and cannot recommend this place.
