These are usually rat holes. They look real nice in the picture on the computer but when you get there, well, different story. Hope you don't spend enough time in the room for it to influence how you rate your trip.
Downtown Development District | Baton Rouge, Louisiana This is your shuttle info. It also names the hotels on the route. Have you tried the Casino hotel? If not, I'll send you a link. Have you thought about coming back to New Orleans after the game or do you have your heart set on a Baton Rouge Saturday night?

thanks Cordelia, we've decided to take the plunge though and booked the Extended stay hotel, its on Corporate Blvd, it seemed close (ish) on the map, so were hoping we can somehow find a shuttle bus or even just get a taxi to get us close enough to walk in. The plan was to stop over and go with flow, ie: if the celebrations and partying carry on into the night we want to be part of it.
It will be fine. It's in a good area and you can take a cab to get close enough to walk. The big question is getting back to the hotel but if you're friendly and enterprising enough I bet you could find some to take you back. Hope you have a great time.
