About Calloway Inn & Suites
Located just off I-12 in Baton Rouge, Calloway Inn & Suites is a locally owned hotel that offers tourists, tailgaters, and business travelers a selection of 120 rooms at an affordable price. Glenda Calloway, who purchased the hotel in 1999, owns and operates Calloway Inn in addition to her other real estate and hotel ventures.

Unique Personalities
What sets Calloway Inn apart from its competitors is the people and the personalities. The lobby contains a large painting of Glenda Calloway’s parents, 60-year veterans of the hotel business. Glenda’s 90-year-old mother still walks through the lobby and will share anecdotes from when she owned and managed hotels. Danielle Bourcy has built relationships–and even friendships–with her repeat customers and ensures that they keep coming back. She noted that the fresh shrimp the Lafourche tailgaters bring her is just a perk of the job and of getting to know her customers.
Calloway Inn & Suites is located at 10920 Mead Road in Baton Rouge. For more information about booking a room or hosting a private event, call (225)-250-1632 or visit batonrougehotelandsuites.com.
