“This extended-stay hotel near Louisiana State University has full kitchens and social events; it caters particularly well to longer visits and guests with pets. I think business travelers will appreciate the on-site business center, though one recent report mentioned alleged billing issues and unprofessional staff interaction that prospective guests should consider. In my opinion, it's worth weighing the conveniences against the reported service concerns.”
