Element Baton Rouge South

I stayed at Element Baton Rouge and was impressed by the overall cleanliness of the hotel. The rooms were spotless, modern, and well maintained, which made for a very comfortable stay. The hotel is also remarkably quiet, which I appreciated, and the swimming pool is a definite highlight — clean, relaxing, and a great place to unwind. Breakfast was fresh and satisfying, with a good variety of options. However, I did notice that the staff seemed somewhat aloof and not especially welcoming. While no one was rude, there was a certain lack of warmth or friendliness that stood out during check-in and other interactions. Still, the property itself is in excellent condition, and the peaceful atmosphere made for a restful experience. If staff engagement isn’t your top priority, this hotel offers great value, especially if you’re looking for a clean and quiet place with great amenities.

Come armed and already showered We didn’t get the room we reserved, and the hotel had nothing else to give us. The entire hotel had no hot water and when we complained we were told it was because too many people just showered (it was 11pm), then at 6 am the the next morning there was still zero hot water. There was someone casing the parking lot and followed my husband and son to the car when they were grabbing our bags, until my husband showed he was armed and they drove off; he let the front desk know and the response was just “oh?” (But hey, it’s Baton Rouge I guess)

Ok only mattress. Food pretty good.
