RENAISSANCE BATON ROUGE HOTEL ^{* * *}

The location is great and offers easy access to anywhere in the city. The staff are consistently friendly and helpful, and the lobby and bar are pleasant.

This property just needs an investment in updating rooms and would be a really nice mid-tier hotel in the area.

The furniture is old and worn, TVs many generations behind, no mobile key access etc, and that applies to suites as well. Hopefully an overdue room upgrade/refit will happen in the near future.

Was a Great place, Staff was very friendly but the air conditioning was Horrible and didn't cool!!!!! Even when room was changed didn't get better

The conference meals were great. The front desk was helpful when we needed the help.

For the price ... I think you get more at a Comfort Inn or Holiday Express ....
Here - you need to ask for a microwave.
There is no Continental Breakfast.
The only Pool is located outside.
They have absolutely no pamphlets in the room to tell you additional costs or room side services or surrounding stores or restaurants.
However there was one bottle of water sitting with the ice bucket which we found had we drank it they would have charged our room and incidental rate of up to $8 for one bottle of water ????????‍♀️

Upon entrance they stayed at the 3 different stations interacting with one another. Little to no greeting as you approach the counter.
We pre-registered 2 months ago. Our check-in was to be at 3:00 p.m. but, we had to sit in the lobby until 3:30 because our room wasn't ready.

I'm not impressed .... Higher price and a lot less options & service.

This was one of the better hotels I've been to. The staff were very polite and helpful. I am shouting out to Jake the server who was so helpful to me. Thank you! I hope to visit again.
