The Cook Hotel and Convention Center is an excellent hotel. The hotel has all the amenities, a good breakfast, and the rooms are large and well equipped. It is as if you are in a high-end apartment rather than a hotel room, equipped with a spacious living area, full kitchen and bath, and a divine bedroom. This is the place that you want to stay when you have business to do on LSU Campus, or you just want a relaxing place to see your LSU Tiger! So, don't give it a second thought, and book it now! You won't go wrong. The Zalis Family, Harding Township, NJ, aka 'El Garbancito Espanol' :)

LSU does it better. This is an amazing hotel with comfortable rooms with blackout curtains and a breakfast buffet. Great place to stay if you are headed to campus or want to be close to downtown. Parking is free. They also have a gift shop with LSU merchandise and tiger themed items. Speaking of Tigers- you can easily take a walk to see Mike's habitat or go the other direction and take a stroll around the lake.
