We enjoyed the experience of a combination of spacious room, hospitality of the staff, breakfast, Evangeline Downs, live Saturday night entertainment, and the quaint restaurants around town. * I suggest replacing the broken recliner in the room.

The room was clean and bed was comfy. However, the AC froze up in one room, they gave us another and the AC was ok at best. I reserved a king size bed and upon checking was given a room with two queens. Even when mentioned to the front desk person, she didn’t even try to give me a king size room.

Nice place out of the city

We chose to stay here because everywhere around Lafayette seemed so unsafe. We liked that this hotel was out of the area and had good reviews.
