Stayed here for 5 days while I went to school. Pretty comfortable. Only complaint I have is the internet barely worked and the tv was a little scrabbled at times. Other than that, great stay! Would stay here again

Accommodated my request

The front part of the hotel seems like it was occupied by residents. That was fine except they were very loud. I immediately requested moving to a quieter area, which they did. Was much better on the side of the property facing the office building. I would stay again but only on the side that faces the office buildings. Pretty much what one would expect at the price point.

I was in such a rush to get any motel and lay down for a few hours that I did not look at the specifics when I made this reservation. I was about 20 minutes later than what the motel stayed open. The front desk lady stayed late just so that I would be able to get a room for the night. She was so sweet (I forgot her name) On the other hand, I had people walking up and down the sidewalk in front of my door and the man sleeping in the room next to me propped his door open and talked all freaking night!!!! The air conditioning did not blow cold. It seemed like it froze up a little. All in all, I’d give it another shot for sure only because of the front desk lady and her hospitality. I wish I would have remembered her name. 👍

Cheap night in Lafayette

Driving up the the property I thought google led us astray - looks deserted and as we drive around the back of the hotel there was trash and a broken down car and some sketchy folks smoking. I was a little concerned. Once we got in the room however, it was great. Fridge and micro. A/c was cold and shower was hot. Bed super comfy - cleaning staff does a great job with what they have to work with. I was pleasantly surprised. We spent two nights and really enjoyed our stay. For the price, it was all I could have hoped for.
