Budget Inn & Suites Baton Rouge

Pros Fresh smelling, Clean room and bathroom Comfortable bed Good cooling AC Affordable rate Pleasant staff Newly renovated rooms Fair wi-fi Fairly quiet during evening hours Well-kept grounds Great curtaining for those enjoying dark room during sleep Good shower Great for short stay Cons None experienced When I saw this high-rated, low-cost motel near the Ochsner’s Medical Center, I was pleasantly surprised as finding a highly-rated, cheap motel is almost like finding a needle in a haystack these days. But I was much more impress with the superb room conditions and quality of staff service I experienced at this Budget Inn location. Because my situation for the stay was a bit uncertain, PJ—the hotel manager—quickly put me at ease by assuring me that he understood my situation thus causing my check-in to proceed smoothly. The room smelled quite fresh and clean upon entering, and the room and bathroom seemed to be free of bugs and grime. I enjoyed the comfortable bed, good working AC, fairly quiet surroundings, and good curtaining, preventing invasive outside lighting during sleep. There was working wi-fi for the room, but my cell signal seemed to work a bit better than the in-house connection. PJ also gave me a nice rundown of good eateries in the area, and he ensured that my stay was comfortable and enjoyable. While there, I also learned that the rooms there had been recently renovated, and I thought that my room had that “new” smell to it upon my first entering it. I truly enjoyed the low price point and high-quality stay here, and I appreciate all the kindness that PJ showed to me while there. If you’re looking for a short stay, friendly service, a clean, comfortable room, and affordability on the east end of Baton Rouge, give Budget Inn a try and I’m confident that you’ll have made a great choice.
