The location was perfect with a variety of eating venues close by. There was easy access to the interstate and main roads on which a variety of stores and eating venues were available. Parking was very easy and internet was easy to get. The room was super clean as well as all bath(room) and sink facilities. I really enjoyed my first stay there of four days!!!!Super comfortable bed and nice-sized couch in the room.

I recommend that a simple stand (like they have in some other motels with strips of materials attached to two sides of a low stand) be bought for each room. to place suitcases on .It made it difficult to take things out of the suitcase placed on the floor. One cannot always put a suitcase on the bed due to medical reasons.

I loved that it has a real kitchen with a full size stove and refrigerator in it. It was nice to be able to actually bake something in an oven for the first time in months since we've been on the road.

There were no signs for 'do not disturb'

Easy access and location perfect for what we needed. Great internet access.

A totally non-smoking Motel and our room smelled like old stale smoke. Way too many signs plastered all over the windows when trying to check in. At least use spell and grammar check! Had to park across drive. No room-front access.

Convenient to my needs. Mamy food choices nearby. Staff always very friendly and polite.

Wish there were coffee pots in the room. As a very early riser, it's the first thing I want in the morning.

The room was large and the floors were laminate i think. Our room was clean and the bathroom was clean! It had a stove and a large refrigerator which we didn’t need because we were just over nighters, but it was a nice surprise! Good location as well.

Nothing, it was a great spot for our last minute overnight stay!

Everything. The room was very clean and comfortable. Next time I visit Baton Rouge, I already know where I will be staying. The Shades Motel was awesome and definitely somewhere I will be visiting in the near future.

There wasn't anything we didn't like.

Cleaner than your typical motel. Nice area

Tv kept going out, toilet too close to the sink and room smelt like urine. Price WAY to high for a motel.
