Absolutely loved the boutique style hotel, the front desk staff was so sweet and they were awesome with accommodating us with a late check out while we finished some work. Would definitely recommend. :)

4/5 – Beautiful hotel, but not a 5-star experience for the 5-star price. The Lafayette has great style, solid 24-hour food, and amazing overnight staff — one even walked us to the elevator, which was a rare and appreciated gesture. Please give the guy a raise as I’ve never had that at a hotel. But for what I paid (about $490 total with room, valet, food, and one drink), it fell short on value. Valet isn’t 24/7, so we couldn’t get our luggage at check-in and had to track it down in the morning ourselves — despite already being charged for valet and the room. Food was tasty but not exactly what I ordered, and was left on the floor instead of on a cart. Espresso tonic in the café was great, but a little orange peel garnish would’ve made it special. Stirred a simple in-room drink, which was cool as I get to bartend in my room — just not $29 cool. For that price, I could’ve stayed at the Madonna Inn (which has free parking) and gotten a more complete, iconic experience. Who cares if it’s downtown — that shouldn’t justify premium pricing without premium service. Great hotel, but it needs better follow-through to match the cost. I’d stay again because I liked the vibe and staff, but it’s pricey. I hope next time I get to enjoy the pool, bowling, bars, and other amenities. Hopefully they up their game so the experience matches the cost.

"City within a City!"

10.0

i had previously been to the pool bar at the lafayette and since then have wanted to stay here. and i could not have made a better choice! we had a blast, went to Lou Lous, bowling, chilled at the pool, and never really had to leave the hotel. While on the pricer side, the charm and detail in each corner of this hotel makes it a truly magical and unique place. Will definitely stay here again, recommend 10/10.

"Trip of a Lifetime"

10.0

The vibes at the Lafayette Hotel are immaculate. Every detail is curated to a tee, service is phenomenal and excitement lurks around every corner. Never in my life have I been tempted by a minibar the way I was at The Lafayette — and yes, I gave into that temptation. Now that I’ve experienced The Lafayette, the only thing I can think about is when I’m coming back to visit! This was the White Lotus experience I didn’t know I needed.

This is such a cool hotel! It has everything from a 24 hour diner, awesome Mexican restaurant, speakeasy style bar with games, a jazz club, super cool lobby car, pool and great pool bar / restaurant. The room and hotel decor is so unique! You don’t have to leave - it has it all!
