Bastrop Hotels: Where to Stay in Louisiana

Bastrop is the parish seat of Morehouse Parish in northeast Louisiana, and the list of hotels in Bastrop, Louisiana is short. We could confirm three lodging properties in town, plus a state park with cabins and campsites nearby. Larger chain hotels sit in Monroe, a drive away. This guide covers each Bastrop hotel and motel we found, flags every gap, and helps you pick a base for Chemin-A-Haut State Park and the Snyder Museum. Rates change daily, so we do not quote them.

Hotels Near Bastrop in Monroe and Rayville

A listing site for hotels near Bastrop shows no large chain hotels in Bastrop itself. The same site lists chain hotels in Monroe and Rayville, with an added six to eight miles for Rayville, Monroe, and West Monroe in its distance figures. We could not verify these figures with a second source.

The Monroe list includes Hampton Inn and Suites Monroe at 5100 Frontage Road, Residence Inn by Marriott Monroe at 4960 Millhaven Road, Courtyard by Marriott Monroe Airport at 4915 Pecanland Mall Drive, and TownePlace Suites by Marriott Monroe at 4919 Pecanland Mall Drive. Days Inn Monroe, Red Roof Inn Monroe, and Super 8 Monroe also appear. Days Inn Rayville is the Rayville entry. The site places most of these near Interstate 20.

Monroe offers more brands and more rooms than Bastrop. Expect a drive of roughly 20 miles each way, based on listing figures for Monroe Regional Airport. Check a map for current drive times and road conditions before you commit.

Hotels We Dropped From the Old Guide

The earlier version of this page listed Comfort Suites Monroe and Holiday Inn Express and Suites West Monroe. We could not reconfirm either property with a current source, so we removed both. The old text also quoted distances from Bastrop we could not source. Choose any Monroe or West Monroe hotel from a current booking page instead.

The old guide also named the Bastrop Military Museum and Frost Town Plantation as attractions. We could not confirm either site with a current source, so we left both out. Call the Morehouse Parish tourism contacts before you plan a visit to any site not listed here.
