"Very convenient location for our activities."

The Cook Hotel and Conference Center at LSU

10/10 Excellent

"Love that this was conveniently located on campus but we were disappointed that a lot of the campus was closed down. It was during a holiday. You could actually cook and keep groceries in the room we had but we were only there a short time, I was super disappointed the gift shop was closed. But we definitely plan on coming back. It was convenient though so I could meet some friends and family I hadn’t seen in while it’s not that far from the shops bars like chimes where we got to have a private signing by author Si Pham America Odyssey."

Stylish Home Near Stadium | Hot Tub, BBQ, Fire Pit

10/10 Excellent

"We loved the house. It was so cute and clean and on a gorgeous street! I absolutely loved all the trees! We enjoyed the fire pit area out back while having some wine in the evening and coffee in the morning. My son particularly loved the waffle mix and waffle maker that was provided. This house had super easy access to everywhere, especially the LSU campus. I definitely recommend!"
