Recently my boyfriend and I drove to NOLA to spend a few days. On the road 2 days out we had not made a reservation yet so got online and tried to find a hotel in a good location without spending too much money. It was pretty tricky, most rooms were booked but then I stumbled across The Lafayette. The... More

This hotel is a smaller and older building and I mean that in a good way. Upon arrival I was met by the management at my car, they accommodated my family in two connecting rooms, one with a separate living room and bar/kitchen area. The hotel staff was so friendly and always helpful. There is some wear being that this... More

If you don't want to stay in an expensive hotel in the hectic French Quarter, then The Lafayette is a very good choice. At walking distance from the French Quater and the streetcar (3 dollar for a full day pass) to the lovely Garden District stops in front of the hotel in St. Charles Av. The hotel is qiute old...

Comfortable bed. More than enough overall room. Bathroom had a missing light bulb near the shower. I asked the front desk to fix it about an hour after I arrived. Nothing. I asked again the following day. Bulb never replaced throughout my 3-night stay. Showered in near darkness. This hotel is situated off the beaten path. Do not stay at... More

Booked this on hotels.com at 7 pm after long drive to NOLA. Front desk doesn't receive online reservations after 5 pm so I had to call Hotels.com to fax info which they did immediately. Valet was at lunch when I went to get my car at 12:30 so I had to wait until he returned with clicker. Other than that... More

Possibly the worst hotel I can remember. The room was literally falling apart. Paid for a "Deluxe King" that actually is only a small queen sized bed in a tiny room. Found contact lenses and other items on the dirty floors. Torn carpeting, peeling paint, rusty bathroom fixtures, little old and broken CRT TVs, and only a view of the... More

I chose this hotel mainly because it was walkable from the train station, but that aside: it turned out to be a really nice older, but rejuvenated hotel, with friendly personnel and a bar and restaurant on the premises. I was given a spacious, clean, and tastefully decorated room on the fifth floor; which at the advance-purchase rate of less... More

I stayed at this hotel for a conference. I found it to be in a great, safe location within walking distance of the Convention Center (where the conference was). (Plus, the price for the room was very reasonable.) The hotel staff was generally very helpful and friendly (especially Dwayne, who says he has worked at the hotel for years). New... More
