Hotel Indigo Baton Rouge Downtown by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"This is a beautiful hotel, close to the river and all down town has to offer. The parking during the weekend isn’t a problem, we were able to park free on the street less than a block from our hotel. Valet parking and pay parking is of course available. Breakfast is excellent. Beds are super comfortable. Best smell in the air, and the most friendly staff one could ask for"
