Erika, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Not bad for a motel

We were on a weekend ball trip with my daughter. It was good for one night and very clean and remodeled rooms. Outside environment was a bit sketchy but we didn’t have any issues
Derix, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Good stay.

The room was very comfortable for a 1 night. Dont expect holiday inn express people. Its a motel. Somewhere to lay your head and go. The room was very clean, area was safe, and well lit at night.

4/10 Fair

Room was supposed to be non-smoking, but had obviously been smoked in with a cigarette burn on the polyester sheets.
William, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Got a room here after I left another hotel because I did not feel safe at the other. The guy came out to my car to give me my room key and he was nice. The area seemed safe. The beds were comfortable The room was clean.
Jennifer, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Bed was fine and felt clean. Bathmat was stained or not clean. Shower was very weak. Water pressure seemed fine coming out of tub or sink faucet so I think it's just a super restrictive or clogged showerhead, but very low flow. A/C worked fine and all, not a terrific area but didn't feel unsafe.
David, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

2/10 Poor

Super filthy

Me and my wife had to buy our own towels and rags when ask they said they didn’t have anymore roaches was present, crackheads and dude doing circles in the parking lot with a hand gun. Me and wife came to see our child graduate. Service and staff are trash even the outside was super dirty. Me and my family will never stay on this company property again.

Great great stop
CDebra, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Great except the shower/tub was peeling away with huge metal rust spots on the bottom that kept us from using it during our stay.
Brett, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Don’t recommend

Check in was easy. Staff was nice. Not in the greatest part of town. The back part of the building that you can see from the highway looks super sketchy. The floor on the tub was peeling, vents were rusted. Picture on the tv was not good. I wouldn’t stay with kids but it was just my husband and I that needed a place to sleep after a concert.
Katherine, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Edward, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

No complaints on this place. While it is basic, it is reasonably priced and suitable for one night. Bed was comfortable and the room is a good size.

Unique
SARA, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

DON’T FALL FOR PICS OR REVIEWS

The trash had not been emptied, the floors were filthy and the wallpaper and ceiling were falling down in the bathroom.
Wayne, 1-night trip

Bob, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Second time we've stayed here, and may be our new go-to stay when visiting family in Lafayette. In a neighborhood right off of the highway, so it's very easy to get places while still offering cleanliness, simplicity, quiet and seclusion
Breannah, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The rooms and bathrooms are excellent, no blocked drains in the shower.
