This is a typical inexpensive Lafayette motel. People live there, which is no big deal to me. The room smelled a bit stale upon entering but it was hot and the AC just needed to be turned on to air it out. The bed was clean and comfortable, the shower had good pressure and it was quiet the whole time I was there. Overall a decent experience for roughly $50-night which is what I always look for in Lafayette.

We got what we paid for, except there is an additional pet rent payment we night of $20/night that was not disclosed at booking. While walking our dog shortly after dark there was a homeless man sitting on a bench across the street & several shady people circling the property playing loud music and looking shady.

I’m too embarrassed to even admit that I stayed there I would not recommend it to anyone! The desk clerk was walking around barefooted. In front of other customers he argued with one regarding the $50 cash deposit. Very unprofessional and then the owner stepped in and proceeded to give the man his money hastily and then asked him to never return! The customer did absolutely nothing wrong! If I were you I would not even have this on your Expedia site! I would love to have a refund! Oh also drug use very prevalent all around the bottom floor rooms! Trash in the driveway as well as all around the building! You couldn’t pay me to go back

The room was still dirty when we came just looked like they changed the sheets and called it a day. When I tired to extend my stay they said they couldn’t and I had to do it online.
