    My wife and I have stayed at The Stockade twice, and each time we thoroughly enjoyed it. The location in Baton Rouge is great - restaurants, shopping, LSU, so many amenities from across the street to only a few miles away. The quality and variety of the breakfast is great, and Janice is a wonderful hostess. We would not hesitate to stay here again!

    Our room was fantastic, breakfast was cooked to order and Janice could not have been any more accommodating. We will definitely return.

    My husband and I recently stayed at the Stockade for 2 nights while he tended to business at LSU. We loved the Stockade and our host, Janice. She made sure we had breakfast before leaving for LSU in the morning, and helped refer us to some professionals in town that we needed to connect with. She goes above and beyond! We stayed in the Garden Room, which was lovely. The bathroom is beautiful and we used the big jacuzzi tub. What a treat! The balcony is a really nice touch too. The room is large and there is ample room to spread out. And it was so quiet that we slept really well! Breakfast was delicious. And we had dinner across the street one night at Sammy's which is nothing fancy, but convenient and good. We drove to a nice place the second night in Perkins Rowe. It was a really nice wine bar restaurant. Food was great and wine list was wonderful! I used the gym across the street both days called Any Time Fitness. Very convenient! All in all, we loved The Stockade and highly recommend it for anyone visiting Baton Rouge for business or pleasure.

    We have stayed at The Stockade a few times over the years...always in the Rex Room. It's a big house with a cozy feel, beautifully appointed without looking 'decorated'. Breakfast surprise one day was blueberry pancakes along with eggs and bacon and the next morning we were served spinach quiche with sausage...coffee always hot. Janice sits and visits with her guests during breakfast and we always love talking to her. I hope on our next visit we have time for afternoon wine and cheese...consider The Stockade your home away from home. You will love it. Jerie B from Shreveport

    Innkeeper Response
    I certainly hope you do join us for wine and cheese next time you come Jerie! Thanks for your complimentary words. Hope to see you again real soon.
