The room was okay. Pretty clean. Mattress was old but soft and comfortable. Air conditioner worked very well. None of the furniture matched, which is not a big deal. Staff was nice. Pool was filled in with dirt and looked like they may be planting flowers.

Room was clean. Needed some updates such as the faucet was the wrong size leaving water to splash outside of sink. A smoker set of the smoke alarm near our room during abnormal hours (very early morning). Not the motels fault but perhaps more signage on doors and in the rooms may help.

Clean room good AC . Problem was people who apparently live at hotel were a bit sketchy. Vagrants coming through parking lot was unnerving. Not great place for small children.

The first room had no shower curtain. The second room had no toilet paper which the front desk quickly rectified. The two rooms were both moldy. I highly recommend the management pull up the carpeting and polish the concrete. The people at the front desk were awesome.

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

8/10 Very good

This is a typical inexpensive Lafayette motel. People live there, which is no big deal to me. The room smelled a bit stale upon entering but it was hot and the AC just needed to be turned on to air it out. The bed was clean and comfortable, the shower had good pressure and it was quiet the whole time I was there. Overall a decent experience for roughly $50-night which is what I always look for in Lafayette.

Not-so-bad of a stay at all..

The room was neat, clean, and comfy. Lacks certain amenities but sleeps well. Can't recall his name atm but he was very attentive and helpful night and day. Great customer service. He didn't let his need to leave disrupt his work or let anything like that show unlike another. Easily took care of my booking issue :-) I was exhausted and aggravated with hotels.com agent but I'll be sure to get and remember his name next time I'm there.
