Location is repeatedly praised — close to highway/freeway, restaurants, and event sites; the location is the strongest and most consistent positive in reviews.

This place is old, not well kept and does not meet expectations, we would not recommend this place to anyone
Pros:

The absolute only thing good about this property is the location!

Cons:

It didn’t seem clean, the carpets looked horrible and stains everywhere, the ice machine was broken, the parking lot has several abandoned cars in it and there is trash all over the place, we stayed there 6 months ago and some of the same abandoned cars are still there, we only stayed there again because of the location, but it was a worse experience this time, needless to say we will not stay here again!

Quiet. Good place if traveling thru Lafayette for a night or two
Pros:

The property is a bit out the way from areas of business that I needed but it definitely just a short drive to get basically everywhere you need to get to

Cons:

For my purpose I’d was fine. Would stay here again if o was in Town. The only thing that I didn’t like was the cable service. By far in my travels the worst selection of channels The complimentary breakfast is not worth using

An affordable place to rest, but not an ideal vacation idea
Pros:

It was affordable and near the highway

Cons:

To stay on the second floor, you had to take stairs and the air condition did not blow cold enough
