Good location in Lafayette
Four men stayed here two weekends in a row. The only complaint: no curtains in the bathroom that faces a road. It is in a good location; clean, no bugs or trash inside. Everyone slept comfortably. Nothing fancy, but it served its purpose.

Needs serious work before. It should be open to the public.
No hot water , no curtains on windows in bathrooms. The add on room had lots of water damage. There was a half opened bag of chips in kitchen and food. Bathrooms was not clean bathtub had hair all over. The worst place I ever stayed. Definitely needs a lot of work before the public stays the night.
