Renaissance Baton Rouge Hotel

My go to place to stay when I visit BR

Would have been a much better review, BUT they are kicking us out into the literal freezing weather. It's 27* outside, hwy closures, bridge closures and we can't go home because of it. We asked for a late check out in case the roads open up, and/or possibly extend our stay if need be. Our late check out was granted and we were told to let them know if we needed to extend... about 2 hours later, we asked to extend because more roads and bridges we're closing but we were told we couldn't! We've been here 2 nights and NOW we're not allowed to extend our stay, despite literally being stuck in Baton Rouge. Without a call or courtesy notice of rooms getting sold and becoming scarce, we are now getting dismissed into the icy roads to go to another Marriott location. The housekeeping staff couldn't even come into work this morning because of the icy roads! So, who is gonna clean this room to supposedly sell it to someone else who can't even drive in to stay ?!? The restaurant staff are having to stay in house due to weather, so obviously rooms are clean and held. 256 rooms in this hotel and half the parking lot is empty! A smart manager would extend people who are already here, that's a guaranteed room tonight! With roads closed, the upcoming reservations are likely getting canceled! The managers aren't thinking this through nor do they care about Marriott Gold Elite members.

What a lovely hotel! I would definitely recommend anyone visiting to stay here it was close to 2 different malls, close to the highway and was a nice place to run while on my visit I found a some clean safe routes to run each morning

Nice hotel. Upscale. Courteous & genuinely caring staff. Watch out for the $16 (half-pour) cocktails in the bar.

Their breakfast was *chefs kiss* perfect. They had bacon, grits, sausage, pancakes, waffles, fruit, everything! Staff was really friendly and the pool was heated so we could swim in January outdoors. A five-star experience!
