Sonesta Essential - Baton Rouge Airport

The check in and out person were okay but the breakfast is a scam. Very unfriendly service from the owners. I would not recommend!!!

Hotel look like the one out of the scary movies . the air filter was so nasty I ask the person at the desk for a new one he said they didn't have any and to take the one out the air condition in the lobby. the elevator worn down feel like its going to stop on you at any minute. the floors was so dirty like they haven't been mopped in a while. and I had to get more sheets and pillow cases, and also had to clean the tub and wipe down everything. just looked deserted.

You get what you pay for. This place smells like **** and cigarettes. It’s dirty. Sheets are dirty. The posted pictures are deceiving would not recommend to anyone.

DO NOT book a room at this hotel. The pictures on ******* are so deceiving. The pool was dark green with trash all over it.

This establishment is filthy. I couldn’t even stay. I requested a refund and still awaiting for it. The sheets were dirty, there were used towels in the bathroom, opened soap packages, trash, and also the appliances were filthy. When speaking with the desk person about concerns she gave towels from her home. HIGHLY DISAPPOINTED AND DO NOT RECOMMEND

The pool was disgusting. The rooms floor had a black film on it. I have no idea what it was but it got on everything. The shower floor had the same stuff in it. There was a homeless guy wondering in the parking lot and end up passing out and sleeping in the parking lot. Only plus site was it was 5min from the airport.

Checked in and soon as u walked in the room, the floor was extremely sticky .. in the bed looked like someone had been in it and on the blanket had a huge stain on it and also on the sheets .. went to the front desk and the person wanted to inspect the room after the complaint of the dirty room made , gave another room …. Supposedly the “king” suite … and it was just as dirty, the bed wasn’t made, the refrigerator had old food in it , and the towels and wash cloths were used … ended up NOT staying and asked for a refund !!

Bathtub was dirty. I only had a sheet on my bed- no blanket. The TV stand was broken- I went to turn the tv so I could see from the bathroom and it almost fell over. The broken foot was resting on the cable box. Breakfast was supposed to open at 6 and at 725 when I left, was still closed. Breakfast was 50% of the reason I booked this hotel- I’m bike touring. So I started a 100 mile day with zero calories. Then when I wanted to check out, there was no clerk. I rang the bell 3 times, waited awhile, and no one came. I just left the key. I do NOT recommend this hotel. There are plenty of other options.

There was a dead roach in the shower. A rat ran across the hallway. Suspicious people lurking in the parking lot and the lobby. Terrible! Then the hotel voided my key card.
