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.

The street traffic was too much, and too loud. The restaurant wasn’t fully opened and seating was bad. Staff was unpleasant. On the bright side, the room was clean. The bathroom was clean. The water was hot. The sheets were clean.

It was very noisy from other rooms and outside. Room and bathroom shower area was too small. Not enough room to sit without being in someone’s way in the room. No free breakfast which it said on the Hotels site that they had. It is just free through the week.

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.
