That is a definitly nice hotel,something to be proud of. Were is the parking for this?

[dimebag1980]

Wow, that IS looking nice!!

^ My dad used to work in the hotel right across the street and I would remeber going down there and thinking how bad the hotel looked. I had thought it was some kind of abandoned housing project because the windows were busted out and doors nailed up.

Thanks for replying yall.

Where is the parking ? If you look the side of the hotel where you see no windows on the bottom, that's where the parking will be (about three or four levels)? I think the enterance for parking is around the other side on River Road.

The eye-sore is no more.

That is one nice hotel. I'm going to have to go there one day.

Thanks Byrde. Wow ! Very impressive. Looks like they will have more than one ballroom. I like the swiming pool on the 3rd deck ? Great location and view. I think I will stay a night over there just because. Those old historical photo's really got me too.

[dan326]

They have 3 Ballrooms. 2 on the first floor and one REALLY NICE one at the top.

Thanks for the pictures! I hope to get down to Baton Rouge again some time soon. When I do, I'll surely be staying here!

[richyb83]

Thanks for the tour Byrde. Nice pics! I really need to check it out soon, and stay a night just because. I can't wait to see the view of the river from the 10th floor ballroom. Some of the old style architecture inside really a work of art. Flat screen TV's in the rooms ? Wow!
