The room was clean but it was small. The TV had a lot of channels. And the breakfast buffet was good. It was on LSU's campus and that was a huge plus for us!

I would like to extend my gratitude to The Cook Hotel and Conference Center for the restaurant staff. I went to get an early breakfast thinking complimentary. Please understand you will be met with a wholesome breakfast layout. Impressed with the flavor, hot and organized with pristine cleanliness.

My son is a student at LSU and staying at the Cook is more convenient than any other hotel since it is near the heart of campus. Most campus locations are walkable, the rooms are spacious, and staff is friendly. Prices vary quite a bit depending on the time of year, but if it is comparable or slightly higher than other options, it’s worth booking for the location alone.
