Belle Of Baton Rouge Hotel

Bad experience with rude staff, especially with a security staff member (assume that was her position). Casino seems to have many employees that gather in groups, talk loudly and ignore patrons unless they want to harass one...in which case they seem selective. Sometimes you get asked for money, etc. Complaints against people security personnel know will get you nowhere. (The majority of the employees are nice but the rude ones are really bad, and offset the good ones.)

They have inconsistent beverage service, though I am empathetic with the waitresses/waiters since many patrons do not seem to tip. While I have not felt unsafe there, I know people that have. A woman should be cautious about going there alone.

If you want a more upscale experience with consistently nice employees, go a little further down the road to the L'Auberge Casino. That's essentially what the "nice" Belle security person said to me. I will follow her suggestion and stay away from the Belle.

To start, the parking is atrocious. I was told to park in casino lot which seems like 2 miles away because the hotel lot was full. And upon exiting said lot, the gate got stuck and wouldn't let me out. It took someone 25mins to rescue me. Then the "hotel" is beyond disgusting. And old. Really old. The big tube TV didn't bother me as much as the stained carpets and halfway cleaned bathroom, which was really tiny. The closet door was broken and even the door numbers were written in with magic marker. I used to enjoy that place but I'll never be going back as long as I live.

Exciting and fun atmosphere. Plenty of slots to play
