My wife and I stayed for 7 days in late January 2012 at the Lafayette and had an excellent experience. The staff was courteous, helpful and friendly in response to our requests. Our room was spacious, clean and comfortable (fitted sheets on the king mattress would be a good addition). The hotel is located right on the St. Charles Streetcar... More

First the bad: I was really tired after a 7 hour drive from Houston, TX on my way to Orlando. My plan was to get dinner, sleep and wake up early to sightsee around the city. I arrived at about 7:00 pm on a sunday night. I was received by a somewhat rude young black lady. I understand english perfectly,... More

I LOVE LOVE LOVE places with old charm and character! This hotel definitely had that. The staff (especially Kerry) was very nice, knowledgable, and helpful! Kerry gave directions to any place I asked about and knew the history of just about every room in the hotel and the city itself. The parking is way too expensive and there are limited... More

We visited during a long weekend to take advantage of the jazz festival happening that weekend. The festival was conveniently across the street in the park. Rooms, while renovated, still retain that 80's feel but are clean. The hallways smell musty and moldy but the room we were in did not. The shower fixtures leaked and need to be changed... More

Cute boutique hotel, but the rooms seriously need some updating. The hallways smell a bit musty and the bathrooms just look old. Also, they still have "tube" televisions, so I found it really hard to watch anything. The room was big and I love that they are pet friendly. One big issue I had was that I got stuck in... More

The rooms are old and dirty. The linens on the bed were too small, so it is inevitable you will have to come in direct contact with the bare mattress when sleeping.The beds are filthy and extremely uncomfortable. The bed had bed bugs, and it made me break out in itchy painful pustules that lead to scarring on my arm.... More

Hotel staff is diligent and consistent maintaining clean fine facilities with appropriate bedding and comfortable accommodations. Guest acknowledged likely source of problem from home, then became irate when hotel didn't acquiesce to unreasonable demands; hence, this review. More

The Lafayette hotel is small with only 44 rooms, charming with a very personable staff. We chose a king suite with balcony, sitting area and wetbar. Bathrobes listed on the website were not in our room, however, Duane of the desk staff brought two freshly-laundered to our door within 30 minutes of asking. The hotel is undergoing some needed renovations... More
