Enjoyed my stay. The only thing I would recommend is maybe a microwave and mini fridge in at least the suites. That made things a little inconvenient with the restaurant being pretty good.

This property is very old and eclectic. Floors are uneven in some places, but the staff are nice. The only thing i did not like was as i booked on Expedia and paid for it, the hotel charged me more than what i paid Expedia. We got it all worked out but it was a hassle.

Had stayed at the Lafayette a long time ago, this time however, the hotel smelled so musty and weird on the upper floor. Oh, the Sunday buffet was horrible, eggs were so dry, the sausage gravy was very, very spicy hot. For the price the buffet was disappointing. Sad.

Richard

Liked: Cleanliness
Property, including rooms, is VERY dated. Walls are paper-thin so you can easily hear others in rooms next to you. Street in front of hotel is VERY noisy at night. Rooms only have cheap blinds with no curtains so rooms are very bright at night. Bathroom is extremely small. Restaurants nearby were quite good and walkability of the area is convenient.
