James, Aug 2018
Pros (+) Fairly nice place. Could use some updating as far as room and bathrooms in room. Staff was very attentive and helpful. We did enjoy the pool but it was a bit crowded due to it having a private party of non hotel guests.
Cons (-) Dated room and bathrooms.

Pros (+) I loved everything about this hotel. I felt like I stepped back in time the minute I walked in. The staff was super friendly and very attentive!
Cons (-) If you're looking for a quiet place to crash for a business trip, this probably isn't the place for you. It's a pretty hip place so people in their 20's and 30's love it. And with that being said it's a party hotel. Which I thought was great but don't go in expecting to get any solid sleep.

Pros (+) It has a great authentic retro look and the lobby and cafe (good food) were great places to hang out. Staff was friendly.
Cons (-) The walls were thin and there was a noisy family in the room next door. However, the staff spoke to them and they quieted down so sleeping was not a problem.

Pros (+) We LOVED our time at The Lafayette. It has such a cool vibe and the staff was so kind. We had our toddler with us and he had a great time in the pool and getting stickers from the front desk staff. We can't wait to go back!
Cons (-) There are weddings and events on Saturday which was loud, but they stopped right at 10pm. It looked so fun! So we didn't mind.

Pros (+) I loved the huge bed and linens were nice. Staff was very friendly and the bar was cayuuuute!
Cons (-) My room had dusty lampshades, and picture frames. The corners of the bathroom floor were dirty with debris and some hair from the previous guest.

Pros (+) The hotel was 15 minutes from a bunch of places, so it wasn't too bad as far as convenience.
Cons (-) The description said free wifi, but wifi was only available in the lobby. We'd called for desk service and they were so slow to respond and bring what we requested to our room. The suite itself was mediocre at best, but at least it was clean. Really, really small bathrooms though and the windows were so awkwardly placed. If you opened the bathroom window, people passing by got a direct view of you...

Aaron, Nov 2015
Pros (+) Most of the staff was very friendly, and the decor was nice.
Cons (-) The walls were paper thin and you could hear absolutely everything. Our first room was over the parking garage entrance, and would shake like a small earthquake each time the garage door would open. After requesting a change, we were put directly over the lounge, which pumped loud music into our (2nd story) room all night. The rooms were filthy, with mold growing in the bathroom, and years of filt...
