Worked for Us

This stay gave us a place to sleep for 2 nights while we were here for a friend who had heart surgery & was in the hospital. Bed was comfortable; shower worked well; AC was great. Facility is very outdated but clean enough. The price was VERY reasonable. It worked well for us on this trip & we basically only slept in the room. Staff was pleasant & helpful.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
This is a typical inexpensive Lafayette motel. People live there, which is no big deal to me. The room smelled a bit stale upon entering but it was hot and the AC just needed to be turned on to air it out. The bed was clean and comfortable, the shower had good pressure and it was quiet the whole time I was there. Overall a decent experience for roughly $50-night which is what I always look for in Lafayette.
