Review of Hampton Inn I-10 & College Drive 2*

The hotel was nice and situated around many places to eat, however, the traffic from highway could be heard from the rooms. I want to make some travelers aware of an alarming situation I experienced during my stay. So I’m a young attractive male and I was passing through alone. I checked in then first stopped by chili’s before heading up to my room. When I got back, I rode up the elevator with a young friendly black male. He asked me what I’m doing staying here then said he lives on the other side of the tracks here in Baton Rogue. We got to the top floor where we were both staying. He said we should hangout and grab drinks somewhere tonight. He asked for my Facebook but I was hesitant to give it to him. He kept talking and I eventually gave him my number so I could head to my room and relax. I told him my first name when he was saving my number then he asked for my last name which I realized was wrong for me to tell him. Before heading to my room he told me he had a bottle of vodka and asked if I wanted to take a shot before he headed out to get a massage. I declined. In my room I started to think the conversation was unusual and worried that he could get a card key to my room because he knew my last name and room number. Before falling asleep, I deadbolted the door but it didn’t bolt all the way to where it latched and used the metal latch above the door handle for an extra lock. When I woke up the deadbolt was unlocked and the latch was moved away from the door to the point where it was obvious someone had opened the door but was stopped by it. Be aware if your traveling alone not tell anyone your last name. Most times that’s all someone needs to get into your room.
