This property is unique in that it's a house with shared common spaces. Shared spaces include the kitchen, family room and dining room. It's connected to a music venue through the kitchen. We came to see a musician and it was delightful that he was hanging out in the kitchen with us between sets!

This home is a beautiful, historic home. It is a unique experience to be sure. I was a little concerned with the neighborhood when we pulled in, but once inside was happy about my choice. The only troubles we had really came from the unusually cold weather. We do not normally need space heaters, but this is an old home and the breakers kept tripping.

We have stayed here a few times and although its basically a hostel so thats what our expectation is based on there was broken front door lock, no clear alternative how to enter property after being out and dead roaches on floor. There was no window covering in bathroom window and door to bathroom was difficult to keep closed so anyone in line at borden could see ypu naked if ypu were exiting or standing in bathroom.

I’m afraid to share this review because it’ll bring proper praise to this place. The Blue Moon is absolutely magical. It’s entire concept is built around culture, community and music. Any adventure into this part of the world should include a stay in this truck special place.

Funky old house with cool decorated rooms. My only complaint and it’s not really, but the house was cold and they did have space heaters going. Loved the outdoor areas even if the saloon wasn’t open. Very cool stay, would def recc to friends.

The house was clean and the instructions were good to get in and for the room. The mattress needs to be replaced in the Galorie room and there was a loud clanking noise outside the window with the wind blowing.

All the house was for us because there is no one more accommodate at that time. Very nice and beautiful place, near the downtown.
Concert in the evening for free for people accomodate in the guesthouse.
You can made your lunch/dinner/breakfast in the common kitchen.
The only contra is that the bedroom has no shower, so we have to go to the common bathroom for shower.

Great place to relax and enjoy yourself. Good music, (Saturday night). Our room was the Balcony. Very nice and yes, with a balcony. The room is spacious and the bed is comfortable. The common areas downstairs are really enjoyable and have a warm ambience.
Downtown is literally across the street.
And really just across the street is Bordens ice cream. Banana splits, sundaes and more just like they were 45 years ago.
We will return.

Very cozy room, large balcony, comfy bed, plenty of towels and little lagniappes. Didn’t use the kitchen but looked immaculate and well-stocked, huge and welcoming like an old fashioned kitchen. Easy access to guesthouse and room. We were welcomed upon entering by a smartly dressed guest from Denmark in the entrance parlor as he was reading by lamplight. Best part of all? Dancing the two-step in the Blue Moon Bar out back to some awesome local musicians & sipping a cocktail after driving from Houston in an unrelenting downpour and under tornado watch! So glad we chose this destination!

In all my extensive travelsI have never written a poor hotel review ever but feel I wanna warn people. If I wanted to stay in the dump, I would not be paying almost $300 for two nights.
Instructions were to park in the lot across the street with the yellow fence however, there were towing signs all along there with another business’s name so I didn’t want to risk it and had to park on the street.
I did not receive a check in text after confirming my reservation. I wandered back to the bar area. The bartender had to text the manager to get the code for me to enter. He was very nice, but it’s not secure if someone’s got your entry code and room code on their phone.
I texted management that I have not received check-in information and they finally sent the code to me later in the day
There is no shower. This was not disclosed in any of the information I read. I would not think to ask if a shower existed when I’m paying top dollar for a stay. Alas.
I followed up with the manager, a second time with questions and received zero response. I guess he already had my money so…
The place smelled musty and moldy when I walked in.
The bed was extremely lumpy.
Floors were dirty and gritty.
The freezer had a disgusting plastic ice mold.
Well, I knew there was a bar in the back of the building. I did not expect the walls to be paper thin. The music was so loud the entire place shook.
There are so many better options in Lafayette. Don’t be fooled by the photos.

For what this is- a hostel - it’s nice. A few things would have helped us as travelers so I do want to point out a few things.
It’s cold in the winter in the rooms. They have a space heater but it’s still cold. There are no drawers. I highly suggest - if you need drawers (like we do) there are none.
We also needed to plunge the toilet. So if you don’t know how to do that be aware!
There are also no windows. I thought there were some behind the curtains but- it’s boards. I wish I had known these things. It was very clean.
