Food was 10 out of 10 FANTASTIC, the eggs Benedict and the banana French toast was mind blowing. The hand crafted cocktails were ridiculously good. The customer service was very professional and I felt that all my needs were met. I will definitely be coming back.

A Birthday Getaway to Remember! I booked The Lafayette Hotel for my birthday weekend, and it absolutely exceeded my expectations! From the moment I called to inquire about a room upgrade, Gabriel was incredibly gracious and helpful — and to my delight, the room I had hoped for was available. Check-in was smooth, and the lobby? Spectacularly decorated and full of character. My room (King Suite with balcony) was ready upon arrival, allowing me to settle in right away. I was especially touched to find a handwritten birthday/welcome note from Gabriel waiting for me — such a thoughtful gesture and the perfect start to my stay! The room itself was beautifully designed, unique, and so comfortable. Even though it rained, I still enjoyed the charm of the balcony, and my absolute favorite feature was the freestanding bathtub just steps from the king-size bed — a dream! I got to soak and unwind after a long day out, and it felt like pure luxury. The hotel also offers so many great spots to lounge, dine, and be entertained — from the stylish common areas to the fantastic shows at Lou Lou’s. It truly feels like the place to be, and I’m already looking forward to my next visit. Thank you, Lafayette team, for making my birthday so special!

Everything was more than perfection, I had an excellent time. The pool was amazing very comfortable, the bar had excellent cocktails and great atmosphere. I enjoyed the pool table although it was difficult to actually get a table it was fun. Great service and staff. Everyone treated me as a guest wonderfully and helped with anything I needed.

This hotel is very unique and very special. The diner, bars, pool area etc. are phenomenal. We had a petit room, so I should have been prepared for it to be small, which it was. Overall, this was a great stay and we will be back for sure! Super fun.

I originally booked a multi-day stay at this hotel, and then cancelled my stay 5 days before check in (3 days before the hotel's stated policy for full refund/no charge). Despite this, the hotel charged my credit card for one night's stay ... a blatant money grab. Hotels.com got involved, and they were the ones (not Lafayette Hotel) to eventually refund me for the charge. I will never again consider staying at Lafayette Hotel. Their shady business practices reflect poorly on them.

Room was nice but bathroom needs more lights. Balcony was nice but overseeing the bar area made it very noisy. Asked for clean towels and they were never delivered. We don’t use towels twice at home but had to in a hotel that charges $500+ per night.

A truly unique experience. I can’t get over how reasonable the in room bar options are priced and how many options there are. Like no other hotel anywhere. The coolest fitness center ever. Super friendly and great food, great portions and great prices. Third time I’ve stayed there. It gets better every time.

The Lafayette is a great spot to stay or even just visit. It’s got its own unique vibe. The rooms are unique, the staff is great, and the food and drinks are top notch. I highly recommend the Lafayette.
