Hyatt Place Baton Rouge/I-10
It was fine, I felt it was kind of expensive for the actual room that we got. But over all the staff was very kind and the breakfast was okay. Not a lot of options but they did have amazing fresh strawberry’s.

Everything was great until the last day, The toilet clogged and the sink wouldn't drain correctly, hence the 4 instead of 5 stars. Room was clean, staff was excellent, but really thought there would be a mini fridge in the room.
