Lafayette Hotel and Suites

Everything seemed good about my stay here a couple nights ago, till I was woken up at 7am by maintenance in the storage room next to my room

Husband and I stayed at the Lafayette 1 night on November 17, 2012 for my birthday. What a beautiful hotel!!! We parked underground in their private gated entry garage which you walk right into the lobby from your car, so close and convenient if you forget something in the car like I did. The hotel lobby was so pretty and historic. Our room was VERY clean and I loved how it was decorated. We felt like Hollywood starlets from a different era. The bed was very comfortable, I slept amazing and didn't want to leave. The bed linens and pillows were very cozy and comfy. Room temperature was perfect. There were no funky smells or any noise outside or indoors. I didn't hear a thing that would disrupt our stay. I loved the fixtures in the bathroom and everything worked like new. We have zero complaints and it was so cool to be minutes away from places to eat and drink. You can stay here and walk to get something to eat or shop. We will absolutely stay here again. We got a king bed in the manor. I've also visited an out of town friend this summer, staying in the rooms that open out onto the pool and that was a really awesome and clean room too! I definitely found the Lafayette to be a guaranteed best place to stay in this area and I look forward to staying here in the future. And ignore any old negative reviews or complaints prior to 2011, they are completely inaccurate because this hotel has undergone a 6 million dollar historical renovation in 2011. It's a beautiful and impressive stay. :)

The Lafayette Hotel hardens back to its heyday of being a celebrity resort. You feel as though you are a VIP as soon as you step into the lobby. The employees are friendly and attentive to your needs and requests. The rooms can be on the small side, depending on where you're assigned to (we had two rooms next to each other: a standard which was small and an wheelchair accessible room which was huge). Both were clean and had a hip vintage vibe with their decor. We had the kids and they got a kick out of the outdoor huge checker and chessboards and pieces. We didn't use the pool as our itinerary was too tight. The location was near everything, but it is not ideal for scenic views as the surrounding area has auto shops, apartment complexes, and houses. However, once you're inside you are whisked away to a bygone era where you're one of the Rat Pack. Not to mention the rates are very low for the experience you get. We are going to stay there again, but we'll allow time to lounge by the pool.

Charming hotel. Staff was friendly and warm. The rooms and beds were a lot nicer than I expected. I was hesitant to stay here due to how inexpensive it is. I'm used to getting what I pay for, but at Lafayette, that is not the case!

Made a reservation and was really looking forward to the pool, it was being remodeled and there was no water in it, there wasa no warning that the pool would be down. Rooms are clean and nice the bathroom is tiny, they take $100 dollars out of your credit card without a notice to you just in case there are damages to the room, that is fine and all I just wish I would have been informed first.

Family of six...loved the double room suite! It was spacious, comfortable and clean. The kids enjoyed their room and tv and so did we. We will absolutely stay there again. Great value and neat historic appeal too!

Room small, Hot and Cold knobs reversed, the cold was hot and hot was cold. Friendly staff and good breakfast.

Hotel has charm and history, a beautiful atrium off the lobby and all the trimmings of earlier glory days. The room (and the bed) were very comfortable. A few flaws, however. The elevator only worked for part of one of the three days we were there. The room cleaning crew seemed to stop halfway done on the second day: the bed was made, but the towels in the bathroom hadn't been touched, and there was a tattered dust rag sitting on my CPAP (breathing) device on the nightstand. Gross!

Located in a bad neighborhood, wouldn't go out at night there, doesn't feel safe. Room was tiny. Pool party too loud. Their website is deceiving as to what you really get. Staff was very helpful, although, never could use wi-fi due to too many guests on it at one time.

This was a great place for a get away and perfect for the summer time beacuse the pool open till 10pm which is awesome!!! I recomend this place plus theres a few resturants walking distance....... FREE PARKING
