Bally's Baton Rouge Hotel
The hotel and our room were really neat. Our room was very clean and pleasant. There are restaurants on site and we had a good experience and food at one of them. Despite the rooms being really big, there was no fridge or microwave. The staff was great, quick and helpful. I would stay there again ...
