The Cook Hotel is a hidden gem located right on LSU’s campus. The rooms are well appointed, the breakfast is great, and the gift shop is another bonus! I have stayed here 3 times in the last 8 months and since my son will be a freshman in the Fall, I wouldn’t want to stay anywhere else!

A wonderful place to stay. Staff were friendly and helpful. Room was a fair size and well furnished. Everything was clean and in good condition. Very safe location with lots of walking trails in the area. In fact, it seemed like there were dozens of people out walking at every hour of the day, mostly students. We would not hesitate to stay here again.
