Great stay, as always. Building is showing its age, but staying here is so convenient, I'm okay overlooking the small things. What's great about a smaller place like this is if your plans change - its easier to add or subtract days from your stay without stupid charges. Staff was great, and when my credit card did not show me leaving a day early - one phone call and it was taken care of. I will continue to stay at the Lafayette - at least until I see a ghost - and yes - I look for them!

Place ooozes with history n nostalgia. Historical gem! Rooms need work. We rented one of the better rooms, but it needs TLC. I live in an old house, so I’m used to it, but there are basic maintenance items to stay appealing. Don’t remodel it, but keep things clean and repaired.
