Very friendly staff. It's an old hotel, so the rooms are smallish, but the location right on the river is great and there are plenty of bars and restaurants within an easy wal. The hotel bar/restaurant is a nice place to hang out and the food is excellent.

The Lafayette Hotel is in a historic building. The furniture and artwork is reminiscent of an establishment at the turn of the century. It was clean, relatively quiet, and had the amenities that I needed. Don't stay there if you want modern, new, and bright. The staff was friendly and helpful. It's a great location to walk to the farmer's market, multiple establishments, and the College.

Cute room, sweet staff, and fun historic establishment. We stayed in the two twin beds room. Nice river view and very comfy beds. The only somewhat bad surprise was there was no fridge in the room. Take a small cooler if you plan to store cold stuff.
