"This was the worst hotel I stayed ever. First when I booked this hotel was because of the price and it was very close to the University that was son going to attend the upcoming school year. There was good and bad reviews when I did my research but I never expected the conditions the hotel had until we got there. We notice a few homeless Check in was fairly good because the lobby was clean. If fact, we were staying there because it was move in day at the university."

Lafayette Hotel & Club

10/10 Excellent

"Me and a couple of friends did a staycation at the Lafayette to celebrate my friends engagement and it was absolutely fabulous. The staff left us a nice little surprise in our room consisting of champagne and some fruit. It was so sweet. We spent the whole day at the pool on Sunday and then went to dinner outside of the hotel but came back later for a night cap. Always love spending time at the Lafayette and cannot wait to go back. A final thank you again to all the amazing staff!"
