"The Cook Hotel’s primary distinction is its location directly on LSU’s campus — a few minutes’ walk from Tiger Stadium — making it a dependable base for visiting families, alumni, and conference guests who value proximity; amenities include a bar, 24-hour gym, outdoor pool, and a reliable breakfast buffet, and while the design leans classic rather than trendy, attentive staff and a strong sense of place make it practical for game weekends without navigating city traffic." - Jessica Chapel
