The Lafayette is perhaps the greatest hotel that I have ever had the pleasure to stay. Christmas Eve was a magical, memorable wondrous experience for my family and I. The attention to detail is just off the charts, and the staff worked so hard to provide a great experience even though it was super busy and a holiday that anyone would rather be at home with their family. What did we like best? Oh man, where do you even start?? We really were just SO impressed!!

The hotel is beautiful, but staying the night feels like a motel. We got a room on the back side of the hotel, we had to pass through the crowd of people, and pool area to get to our room. We could hear the people above us all night and day. Plus we had a rude awakening in the morning when we realized the rooms don’t have black out curtains. The beds have very comfy bedding on it, but mattress is hard as a rock. They have great amenities, the bars, bowling, diner 24/7 , sauna etc. I would definitely come back maybe in the summer with girlfriends instead. Me and my fiancé didn’t get to enjoy much of the hotel. Wish they would reserve the amenities mostly for guest. There’s so many people that visit, took us a while to valet, get checked in/out, get our car. It was too busy that as guest we didn’t get good service or enjoy the hotel. I would recommend getting their upgraded bedrooms by the pool maybe it’s a better stay.

Great Getaway to Cut Loose!
The photos do not do this place justice! WOW!!!!!!! Don’t recommend though if you don’t like people as this place is crazy busy with people just there for the restaurants, bars, etc. Came for a girls overnight trip with my besties to cut loose and it was exactly what we needed! Not for the folks looking for peace and relaxation though. Will most definitely come back!

The Lafayette is over the top and beyond imagination especially during the holidays! Retro diner, poolside service, music venue, amazing restaurant, and private bowling alley ... and the rooms - oo la la. Definitely a young hip vibe, but super friendly staff.
