Tru by Hilton Lafayette River Ranch
Front desk attendant was rude, and he wouldn’t allow us to sit in the Lobby in the evening to eat the food we had just purchased from their Lobby.

Carriage House Hotel
No where near worth the $216 per night rate. The room was average at best with paint taped back in spots on the wall. You could hear EVERYTHING from the hallway and other doors slamming closed. It was very difficult to find the front desk. Wouldn’t go back
