Origin Hotel Baton Rouge

This was such a disappointing stay. Let me start by saying the hotel had many nice things going for it, a fun vibe, nice rooftop area, great towels and sturdy furniture. However, the front desk staff generally lacked hospitality. I didn’t have hand soap in my room — which appears to be a recurring problem (how?!). When I relayed this to the front desk, I got a shrug and was told to use shower gel. Sorry, but this is a total dealbreaker for me, especially for $200 a night. Hand soap is the most basic of amenities a hotel can provide. My coffeemaker was also broken, which earned me another shrug from front desk staff. No apology, no how can we correct this? Just: too bad. I asked for a water from the fridge to be comped in exchange for these issues and was told no, that would need to be approved by a manager. C’mon. Finally, I’ll say that the windows were so outdated and thin that I could hear every single thing on the streets which made it difficult to sleep. I would have loved to have given this feedback in person upon check out but I wasn’t even asked how my stay was.

Had a great stay at the Origin Hotel in Baton Rouge. The location is excellent, really close to the river and convenient for getting around. The rooms were great — clean, comfortable, and well maintained. The staff were friendly, helpful, and made the stay even better. Overall, a clean, well-located hotel with a welcoming atmosphere. Would definitely stay here again.

Quite, clean and comfortable. The room is a bit dark, so it would have been nice to have stronger lights. The only thing I would have changed is the chair at the desk in my room, so I ended up opening my laptop by the armchair, which wasn't ideal for working. But other than that the stay was very nice.

So I had planned on rating this a 5 star stay based on the quality of the room, nearby amenities, and friendly service, but what happened after I checked out cemented it for me. I’d gotten an hour away when I realized I’d left behind a very special item (gift from my daughter) upon checking out. The front desk not only recovered the item, they boxed it up and walked it over personally to the post office, and I received it, safe and sound, 2 days later. Not many hotels would go that extra mile once a guest has left, but this speaks for the level of service at this property. Special thanks to Korey for going that extra mile for me!

We checked into a room that had been prepared but not actually cleaned. As soon as we looked at the bed, it was clear that someone had slept in it, even though it had been made up. The floor had visible shoe marks everywhere, and the overall cleanliness was far below acceptable. On top of that, a leak in the ceiling woke us up in the middle of the night. The staff were kind and quick to assist us with a new room, and the breakfast was fine. But unfortunately, it was a disappointing experience overall.

I found this hotel relaxing. It’s a short walk to the Raising Cane’s River Center, casinos, downtown Baton Rouge nightlife, and other events. The staff is very courteous and knowledgeable of happenings throughout Baton Rouge. Their bar has a wide selection of drinks with a very knowledgeable bartender. Their menu is eclectic would try and true favorites and fusion between Americana and tasty dishes that Louisiana is known for! Overall, The Origin Hotel is clean and different in a fun and friendly environment. I plan to stay visit here again very soon!

The Origin is centrally located and made all of my downtown business trip spots easily accessible by foot. Everything was clean, modern and fun. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Parking in the side lot is $18 a day and super worth it. Also… the local restaurant Cocha is about a 5 minute walk. Highly recommend for the perfect locally sourced dinner and drinks.

My first experience was with Corey the front desk supervisor. He was so professional and took care of all my needs. My second experience was with the restaurant in the hotel Tiana was my server and she was very attentive and sweet her mom is the chef and she did a wonderful job on our breakfast. I would definitely stay here again and recommend it for everyone.

My wife and I stayed at Origin for our Anniversary. They took amazing, singular care of us. When we walked in the room, the anniversary compliments and champagne were a nice touch. The card printed with our photos from Facebook was extra! Very thoughtful. The suit was fantastic. Huge room, great balcony, great bed, great breakfast, everything was excellent! Can't recommend higher. Thanks Origin! If we come back to BR, you are where we will stay.

I stayed here for the LSU women's basketball March madness game. Location: excellent. Right in the heart of downtown. Lobby: very cute updated. Room: somewhat nice, but it was clean though. Would recommend to others. Just note, no parking only valet and street parking, so read the signs carefully!

Stayed at this hotel and within 1 hour of staying here I started weezing and had an allergic reaction all over my body. BED BUGS. I literally saw one on me, ewwww! I checked out of my room and went over to the Hilton quickly after. This place has bed bugs and the staff who cleaned the room looked like high school students. DO NOT STAY HERE!

After a long travel day, we arrived at the Orgin Hotel. It was 12:45 a.m., and we waited for the attendent to come. The doors were open and her purse was visible. We search for the attendant for about 30 minutes and after awhile my boyfriend finally went to get our luggage, while I called the front desk several times. No one answered the hotel's telephone. The front attendant finally showed up, after another 10 minutes, and she told me that she was outside in the vallet parking lot. I thought this is interesting and very odd. I then asked the attendant," Is it safe to leave the doors open?" She quickly replied," It's a safe area and I close the doors at 2:00 a.m. "The attendant promptly checked us in, put some purfume on, lotioned her hands and we left to our room. This was the first incient. Today, I reached out to the front desk to ask for my room to be cleaned. The front desk attendant was very nice and noted my request. After I went out and returned to my room, a few hours later, I found my room the same condition that I left it. I returned to the front desk to inquire about the reason why my room was not cleaned and the attendant replied, " The housekeepers already left for the day." Subsquently, the maintence person dropped off my clean liens and I completed the above task myself. I can tell you that I have traveled all over the country and internationally and I have never had to change my own liens. This was a the second issue that I had within a 24 hour period! I will never return to this hotel in spite of the warm and pleasant feeling that I received from the staff, with the exception of the "ghost attendant" who greeted us at the start of our much needed vacation. I would give the other staff a 5 out of 5. Last, I normally would not write a review, but this experience was forced me to act and not be silent.

The outside of the hotel was very pleasing after a 21 hour drive. But upon arrival there was actually no parking lot it was street parking, they had signs for valet but it wasn't valet. It was 18$ a day but the lot could fit maybe 20 cars and it wasn't valet first come first serve. 20 spots for 80+ rooms doesn't really add up. We thoughts let's see the brighter side and went up to our room, the first thing I noticed was the tile was extremely sticky and there was a nasty brown gunk around the rim of the toilet. Once you sat on the toilet it was uneven and even shifted one night. We stayed 4 nights and not once did house keeping come around until we were packing up to check out. Very unhappy with our experience.

It is truly a shame that this newly renovated hotel is run by such horrible staff. I arrived at the hotel to check in at 10:00 PM. I could find no one to check me in. This was because the front desk lady was asleep on the floor behind the counter. Slow night, I guess. The hotel is super cute, and the room is great. However, at around midnight, the fire alarm started beeping. This was not a soft beep but a loud, shrill noise that would jolt anyone from their sleep. I called the front desk, and of course, there was no answer. This scenario went on ALL night long. No one would ever answer the phone at the front desk. I got absolutely no sleep. When I checked out the following morning, I shared my experience with the new lady at the front desk. Her response was, " I was here all night, and I never heard the phone ring, that's your fault." I highly recommend staying a block over at the Watermark Hotel, where the staff is polite and professional. This place has hired directly from the bottom of the barrel. I would never return, and that is a shame because it is a cute place.

This hotel opened 1-17-24, Wednesday. I checked in on 1-18-24, Thursday between 11:00 am and noon. Went to checkout the room there was no hot water. I let the water run 10 minutes still not hot. I went back to the desk and reported the problem to the desk attendant, I than left the hotel. I returned at 5:30 pm the same day went to the room ran the water for 10-15 minutes still the water was not even warm. I was attending and event Downtown left the hotel at about 5:45 pm. I returned to my home called the hotel and reported the problem to the desk attendant. I was called back at 8:00 pm and told the water was hot, well at that point I was not going back out. Returned to the hotel on 1-19-24, Friday between 7:00 and 8:00 am went to the room still no hot water at that time I went back to the desk reported the problem and checked out. At that time I was told by the attendant that I would receive a call from the manager, I left my name and number. I did not receive a call. I went back to the hotel on Monday, 1-22-24 and requested to speak to the manager, because I had requested that my credit card be refunded. I was referred to Kaylin Camper, assistant manager I began to tell her what happened at that time, and she began to question me as to what was the race of the attendant and a description of the attendant; which I thought was very inappropriate. She was rude to say the least. She said she would give me a call. I only received a email after I submitted at negative review. I was offered a 50% refund when I did not stay in the room at all. I said that 50% was not acceptable. I have not heard from anyone at Origin Hotel since the email. If this is the type of service Origin Hotel which is a branch of Wyndham provides it is very disappointing.
