Top Historic Downtown Baton Rouge Hotel Reviews

Origin Baton Rouge, a Wyndham Hotel

8/10 Good

"Clean"

Crowne Plaza Executive Center Baton Rouge by IHG

8/10 Good

"Nice but older. Noisy hallways and lots of interstate noise as the windows are old. We had to turn up the TV bc the guests in the hallway were loud. Bed was comfortable and we appreciated the white noise machine. They need to invest in soundproofing a bit more."
