Can highly, highly recommend staying here whenever in Baton Rouge. A big thank you to Janice for a truly wonderful experience.

If you're looking for Spirit Airlines in the form of a hotel, you're at the right place…read more I've lived in Baton Rouge since Hurricane Katrina before moving to Houston in March 2018, and I've passed The Shades Motel almost daily. I had never thought too much of it; it's an old-school, unassuming, mid-century modern motel along the unofficial Red Light District in the Capital City. For years, I figured it was a makeshift brothel much like a similar...um...deca-flagged inn one mile north (if you're from Baton Rouge, you'll get it). I was completely wrong. The Shades Motel is a nice, quaint, no-frills motel whose footprint is much bigger than you'll see from the street. They have vending, ice and laundry machines, and the rooms clearly had some sort of renovation in recent years. I needed to return to Baton Rouge to surprise a former coworker in the hospital. On a tight budget from a slow month of work, I took a leap of faith and booked with The Shades Motel through Travelocity, where they have a 4.1/5 rating with nine reviews. I already knew where the motel was located, but even for an actual traveler, it's easy to get to because it's on Airline Highway (U.S. 61), the busiest drag in the city. My room was $55 for the night, $63 including taxes, etc., with check-in/check-out being 11 a.m. My transaction with the older Indian man at the desk was easy-peasy, and I proceeded to my room in the middle of the complex with my key and my belongings. Again, this is a motel, so each room, for all intents and purposes, has its own parking. My single king room was clean, smelled great and was equipped with local Cox cable, WiFi with the password was on the back of the TV remote, a sofa, a desk and *especially* a microwave and fridge. I am a huge germaphobe--possibly OCD--and I felt clean and safe enough to go barefoot in the room and in the shower. Naturally, the clientele weren't among the 1%, but they weren't anyone I felt threatened by at all, either. The bed was about what you'd expect from a no-frills motel--comfortable enough--and there was no shortage of towels. There was even the requisite Holy Bible in one of the nightstands. It was a great place to stuff my face, lay my head and commiserate about my life while bitterly watching my former coworkers at the local NBC/Fox affiliate... A little more about the location, The Shades Motel is located in the geographic heart of the Red Stick (Baton Rouge), just north of Florida Blvd./U.S. 190 and Airline Highway/U.S. 61. Sans traffic, you're about 20 minutes from Baton Rouge Metropolitan Airport, 20 minutes from the sprawling Mall of Louisiana, 20 minutes from downtown and the museums, and just over 10 minutes from Mid City, a large district home to great shopping, antiques and dining. But if you're into abandoned places as I am, you're walking distance from Cortana Mall. Formerly The Mall at Cortana, it was once a booming complex as recently as the late 2000s, now empty with locals walking about, pointing out which stores used to be where. I worked there at Aeropostale during the 2008 holiday season, and even did some shopping at Macy's before they closed in 2016. As uncanny as it sounds, the vacant Cortana Mall is definitely an attraction, but it's also worthy of a rebirth. Either way, you can still grab some deals at the Dillard's Clearance Center, one of the three remaining tenants and the only remaining retailer, or find a few other things at the stores along the perimeter. After a night of rest and reminiscing, I checked out promptly at 11 a.m. completely satisfied. This motel is conveniently located and included everything I needed, all while giving me a sense of safety and cleanliness at the right price. For my eventual next visit to Baton Rouge, I will definitely be checking in at The Shades Motel. Who knows? I might snatch up the Jacuzzi room. Just make sure to grab some Chinese at Gold Bowl down the street, my review here on Yelp. You're welcome.

Stayed at Holiday Inn Baton Rouge College Drive I-10 and honestly... mixed feelings…read more There are some positives - the room was spacious, and it looks like renovations have been done, which helps modernize parts of the property. But overall, the hotel still gives off older vibes, and there was one major issue that really stood out: security. Some of the room doors don't close properly unless you push them shut with extra force. When I first checked in, I realized my room door hadn't fully closed and was left slightly open. That's a pretty big concern and definitely not something you want to deal with at a hotel. On a more positive note, the breakfast was actually good, which I appreciated. Still, between the lingering "older hotel" feel and the door/security issue, it's hard to fully recommend without caution. Just something to be aware of if you're staying here.

Missing something in the closet is an easy oversight to make, but it was still a bit unnerving. Otherwise, the room was nice enough. There were the occasional blemishes in the furniture that's the sort of thing you'd expect in a motel, but that's a minor nitpick. The closet being at the back and behind the second bed was inconvenient, but I understand needs of space. The bathroom toilet was placed at an odd angle that felt slightly surreal, but I suspect needs of space drove that as well. All told, in spite of a few nitpicks, I'd absolutely recommend staying here.
