Cheap night in Lafayette
Driving up the the property I thought google led us astray - looks deserted and as we drive around the back of the hotel there was trash and a broken down car and some sketchy folks smoking. I was a little concerned. Once we got in the room however, it was great. Fridge and micro. A/c was cold and shower was hot. Bed super comfy - cleaning staff does a great job with what they have to work with. I was pleasantly surprised. We spent two nights and really enjoyed our stay. For the price, it was all I could have hoped for.

We got what we paid for, except there is an additional pet rent payment we night of $20/night that was not disclosed at booking. While walking our dog shortly after dark there was a homeless man sitting on a bench across the street & several shady people circling the property playing loud music and looking shady.

Close to Lafayette Airport. Nice motel. Fantastic staff. Looked clean all around. Lots of walking distance fast food places. Very nice frozen yogurt place just walk-in distance away. Old motel but just right for the price. Thank you

I’m too embarrassed to even admit that I stayed there I would not recommend it to anyone! The desk clerk was walking around barefooted. In front of other customers he argued with one regarding the $50 cash deposit. Very unprofessional and then the owner stepped in and proceeded to give the man his money hastily and then asked him to never return! The customer did absolutely nothing wrong! If I were you I would not even have this on your Expedia site! I would love to have a refund! Oh also drug use very prevalent all around the bottom floor rooms! Trash in the driveway as well as all around the building! You couldn’t pay me to go back
