Drury Inn & Suites Baton Rouge
By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-24.
Worth booking if you want a well-reviewed four-star base with free parking and a hot breakfast buffet at a price close to the city median. Skip it if you need to walk to sights or if the pool is the main reason for your trip.

This is our Luxury pick in Baton Rouge, but do not expect a grand five-star property. It is a four-star hotel that made the slot through its guest score. It suits drivers, families and business travellers who want reliable service, free parking and breakfast sorted before the day starts.
It is a poor fit if you want to explore on foot. The only nearby sight in our data is about an hour's walk away. Guests who care about swimming should also read the pool comments below before booking.
Location and getting around
The address is 7939 Essen Park Avenue. Guests rate the location 9.3 out of 10, which suggests it works well for its purpose, likely as a car-based stop.
The Baton Rouge Louisiana Temple is about 4.8 km away, around 60 minutes on foot. That is far. Plan on driving, a taxi or public transport for anything you want to see. Walking times are straight-line estimates, so real routes may be longer. Free parking is listed by the property, which helps if you arrive by car.
What guests say
The score is 9.1 out of 10 from 1,160 reviews, a large and reassuring sample. Staff come up again and again as friendly, helpful and welcoming, and guests say requests are handled efficiently.
Breakfast is the other highlight. Guests describe a hot buffet with a wide variety, including eggs, sausage and fruit. The property lists breakfast as buffet.
The weak point is the pool. Some guests like it, but it is frequently reported as closed, dirty or unheated. Treat it as a bonus, not a reason to book.
Price and what you get, compared with our other picks
We saw a reference price of €107.73 per night, about €215 for a 2-night stay in November 2026 for 2 adults. It is not a live quote, so check today's price for your dates. That was 4% below the sample median of €112.30 per night.
Our Budget pick, Sleep Inn Baton Rouge East I-12, was €85.27 per night with a score of 8.0. Our Best Value pick, Tru By Hilton Baton Rouge I-10 East, LA, was €97.93 with an 8.7. For roughly €10 to €22 more per night than those two, you get the highest guest score of the three, a restaurant, a gym, a pool, family rooms and free parking listed. Air conditioning and free Wi-Fi are listed too.
Why it made our top 3
We compared 10 eligible properties in Baton Rouge. This hotel shared the top review score among them. Our Luxury slot prefers five-star hotels, and a four-star hotel only qualifies if it scores at least 8.5. With 9.1 from 1,160 reviews, it clears that bar comfortably.
Before you book
Room size, noise, renovation condition, breakfast inclusion and cancellation terms have not been assessed. Check them on the booking page.
If the pool matters, ask the hotel whether it will be open and heated on your dates. The hotel is tagged as pet-friendly, but conditions and fees are not confirmed, so ask before bringing an animal. Confirm that breakfast is included in your rate.
