Everything was great aside from the ac in our room was broken. We had to move to another room for the first night of our stay which was fine except for the fact that I don’t think they communicated the change to housekeeping so we got a knock on the door of our new room early next morning and there was some confusion. Aside from that, excellent staff and beautiful property - we thoroughly enjoyed

I didn’t want to leave and I will be back soon. Got the steak at the Quixote. Bowled at the gutter. Got absolutely smashed at the pool. It was relaxing. The vibe was a mix between haunted mansion, New Orleans square and Jungle book. Need to come back for the diner and Lou lous. Immaculate vibes and everyone was so welcoming.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Lafayette. The options for nightlife are unmatchable by any non-Vegas hotel. We had a great time at Lou Lou’s and the rooms provided historical comfort. Very interesting to look at and comfy beds. In addition, the staff was friendly and helpful at all times. We highly recommend staying there.

Good and bad , the decor , the bars and the restaurants all good , and beautifully decorated. The pool area is overcrowded, the sunbeds are all taken before 8.30, then people sit on the side so you have to find a space to get into the pool. I think the hotel allow day visitors which seem to consist of the tik tok instagram crowd taking selfies and seem to be waiting for something to happen which never does. Also the hotel want to communicate with guests via text but it cannot cope with non USA phone numbers

Honestly the coolest hotel I have been to. Gorgeous vintage and artistic aesthetic everywhere. Spectacular bar and pool area. Great food at the Quixote restaurant and diner on property. Really cool gym as well as a single bowling lane and pool tables in a separate bar. Art deco elegance in the Lou Lou nightclub.
