Staff barged in our room without knocking, put us up in a room directly near the staircase to the lobby so it was so noisey the entire night, it felt like guests were in our room with us. Amenities for pool lacking—no service in the pool area, servers would not even bring your drink to you. Did not meet our standards.

Cute boutique hotel that puts attention to every detail! However it is small and a lot of outside guests visit since it’s open to the public. It can be crowded and loud

The hotel is absolutely stunning, it was my boyfriend as I’s anniversary and the hotel staff was very kind and gave us a complementary champagne bottle! The valet parking was worth it and the staff are super helpful as well and respond fast to any questions you have. I loved and enjoyed our stay at the Lafayette hotel.

Such a beautiful hotel. It was my first time and it was such an aesthetically pleasing hotel lobby & room. I did have some minor issues but not enough to rate it low. The conditioner and body wash bottles were empty. There was hair left behind from someone else on the towels and I felt as though the bathroom could’ve been cleaned a lot better. There was no do not disturb sign in our room, but not a huge deal. Definitely an older hotel so that is definitely the vibe. I would stay here again.
