La Quinta Inn & Suites Baton Rouge Denham Springs

I ended up staying at this hotel for Christmas as my honey ended up working in Baton Rouge for the holidays. His company selected this hotel for his stay and I must say I was pleasantly surprised. I woke up to the sweetest smiles from the staff on Christmas morning. I went downstairs for breakfast and felt like I was at home with my own family. The front desk agent, Carolyn, and the morning breakfast attendant were so sweet and warm to me. They could have been salty about not being at home with their own families on Christmas, but they were happy and seemed like they really were concerned about making sure I was comfortable during my stay. The hotel room was clean, the bed was comfortable, and the fitness center was adequate. The morning breakfast was basic, but I was happy to see several protein choices such as yogurt, scrambled egg patties, boiled eggs, milk, peanut butter, and Canadian bacon. I had to stay alone in the room late at night for a couple of days, but I felt safe. The hotel is quiet, in a safe location, and my car was safe. There are plenty of cameras in and around the property. It is also pet friendly location.

Average.
Pros: grassy areas for dogs outside and provided poop bags, clean pool, nice lobby, clean room
Cons: awkward room layout (2 rm King ste– has «jetted bath» in the living rm), poor lighting in living room, no armchair in the living room, minimalist décor, 2 Rm King Ste– not worth the extra money
Overall, its not bad.

Driving from Dallas, Texas to New Orleans, Louisiana, we decided to spend a night (and half a day) in Baton Rouge.
Having the La quinta rewards card, we opted for this hotel.
Not the BEST but definitely above average for the la quinta.
The room was spacious though it had a king size and a queen size bed in the same room, and sported a pillar right in the spanking middle of the room.
The fridge was thw typical small but loud one most hotels are equipped with.
The toiletries and the bathroom were rather nice.
Coffe machine but, TV and mircowave are standard.
Free wifi with rather good speed.
Nice pool, though slow and loud elevators.
Make sure you request a room away from the street and far from the elevator.
The breakfast was typical of la quinta.

This place is fine, not the greatest, not the worst. We’ve stayed here before and returned again a few days ago. We had the king suite with two rooms. First thing I noticed when I walked into the room was a slightly off smell — not bad, just a little off. The couch in the sitting area is tired and worn, the fridge was smaller than usual — a very mini-​fridge. Breakfast was adequate — nothing out of the ordinary, but got us full. Customer Service was great — front desk personnel were helpful. It would be great if the luggage carts could be updated — ours had a wheel that went it’s own way on the way in, and on the way out there was a wait for a cart, so we ended up lugging our stuff down in two trips. Overall, I’d give the hotel 3.5 /​5 stars.

Our room was clean, breakfast was great, and the staff was nice! Breakfast consisted of sausage, waffles, eggs, pastries, etc– not just cereal. Great place to stay! The a/​c works perfect. Also, the pool/​hot tub area was clean. :) We enjoyed our stay on the way from Georgia to Texas. Call before dark, they do book up. We make this trip often & plan to stop back in.

Arrived after a long drive from Tennessee. Hotel accommodations were great; new hotel, check-​in was easy, customer service was good, room clean and breakfast and attendant was awesome. Dog area was larger than normal. My wife, dog and I were easily able get a good run in (3 miles). No complaints. Would stay again!

Very clean and nicely updated for a La Quintana I stayed in one in southern California and it was no way as nice as this one. Bathroom was well appointments and king bed was very comfortable.

Very nice hotel, clean, comfortable and a good breakfast the next morning. Staff was very nice, and it was in a safe neighborhood. Also a huge plus that they are pet friendly! Will stay, if I am ever in the area again.

I’m pleasantly surprised. The last time I stayed at a La Quinta/​Motel 6ish type of place… it was a typical hotel stay where you pay for what you get (occasional random hair in the bed, stained towel or two, not comfortable walking around the room without sandals, really bad insulation, complimentary breakfast of cold stale bagels, ⁵⁰⁄₅₀ chance of a rude receptionist). This La Quinta is immaculate and I will be recommending this one for sure. All the other Marriots, Holiday Inn and Suites, and other hotels were more expensive, so I was not excited when my husband found this on Hotwire. But, this is one of the cleanest and newest hotels I’ve seen. Breakfast was delicious (waffles, biscuits and gravy), room was very clean and surprisingly modern, beds were amazingly comfortable, and linens/​shower/​bathroom all up to par. I feel like I just paid to stay at an upscale hotel. Thank you La Quinta for the best night of sleep I’ve had in a while.

My husband and I stayed here for over a week. We have stayed at numerous La Quinta’s. We travel for work a lot. This La Quinta is immaculate. The experience was superb. I’ve stayed at 5 star hotels and never imagined a La Quinta would come close to looking like that. This one does. I am always comparing other La Quinta’s to this one when we travel now. It’s such a modern and clean hotel. The outside of the building is attractive and brand new looking, the inside does not disappoint! The breakfast was great. The Lobby was so nice, the hallways, everything. I never thought I’d be raving about a La Quinta hotel but I would love to go back to this hotel. Everything about the hotel is very new and modern (which I love). It feels like no one has even been there before you. The guest rooms had everything we needed and were very attractive, nice tv. The bathroom was a good size and very nice. I think this hotel should receive some awards or something! The rate is amazing for everything you get.
If you are staying in the area, definitely stay here. I’ve been to La Quinta’s all over the country and I highly recommend staying here whether it’s for business or pleasure.

Brand new. Interesting location (I don’t know what that means either). Excellent service. Easily 5-​stars. Looks a lot better than the other hotel down the street. I was in town for the Fear Fête Film Festival and this was only a few minutes away from the theater. I’m very happy with this choice. This being my first time ever in Louisiana, I did not spend much time in the hotel but when I was present, only excellence all around.
Very friendly staff (who also put up well with rowdy drunks like myself) who are also very helpful. The room was extremely nice. No complaints here whatsoever. The free continental breakfast was all right, nothing special. But I hate breakfast anyway, so there is that. If you’re in this area of Baton Rouge, I cannot recommend this hotel highly enough for your stay. Nothing wrong with it in my book, but then again I’m pretty low maintenance. I enjoyed my stay here. For sure.
So EPIC.

New hotel just celebrated one year in business. Hotel is very clean and staff very friendly.

Located on the east side of Baton Rouge, it’s a short drive into downtown. We decided on La Quinta as a stop over hotel during a long driving driving trip. The facility itself was very clean and the room was comfortable. The front desk was very attentive and eager to offer up local dinner options.
My only request is that the housekeeping staff go a little lighter on the carpet fresh. Our room was quite fragrant.

We booked a room for 4 people through Hotwire. When we arrived the «manager» told my wife all he had was a king bed and there was nothing he could do about it. Take the King or hit the road. The «manager’ told my wife it was Hotwires fault and they do this all the time. we called Hotwire they booked us in another near-​by hotel. thanks Hotwire!
I will drive extra or pay more so I don’t have to stay in a La Quinta Inn!
