Our room was very nice. (Rm 229) It was a little noisy at times since it right above the entrance to the Gutter Bar. But we loved the GutterBar. Bowling, Pool tables, foozeball,shuffleboard and Other fun games. Lafayette has a great layout and stylish. The pool is gorgeous and heated. The staff is incredible. If you need to charge your car you need to bring your own plug. That was a little disappointing. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We had an excellent time at this hotel. So much to see and do without leaving. The only issue we had was that there wasn't hot water. The pool was not heated as well
