A well situated boutique hotel, with excellent rooms with enormous beds.

Very friendly service, free wireless service, close to business and french quarters and also handy for the convention centre.

We arrived after an all night drive from Kansas City, found a great spot for lunch and proceed to the hotel a little early to try and squeeze in a much needed nap. Kerry was very quick to accomodate our group. One of the gals in our group had multiple conversations with Kerry prior to booking our accomodations; we were not disappointed. Several in our group were provided with a suite and the other room was a front balcony room to enjoy the Mardi Gras parades. Kerry was quick to provide us with helpful information in regards to getting familiar with the area and how things work for the parades.

Our rooms were clean and filled with all the ammenities we needed. We were provided with a beautiful suite but found the heat did not work. the staff were quick to respond but unsuccessful in getting the room to warm up ehough. We were provided with a beautiful suite facing St Charles Ave. The Victorian bed was wonderful and so comfortable. Staff were quick to assist us to get back to our rooms with all the treasures we received from the parades. The hotel provided stands in front of the hotel for the parades and were excellent. The stands put you at the same level as the people on the floats.

The hotel was walking distance to some great restaurants and a wonderful breakfast spot. The staff gave us great advise in regards to the timing of retriving our car to ensure we were not locked into the area due to the upcoming parades. Our friends also staying at the hotel decided to hop on the trolley the morning of our departure. The trip took longer than anticipated and Kerry was great about directing us to a new parking spot while we waited for their return. Once they returned he was quick to assist with check out and even helped take the luggage around the corner and down the street to the new parking spot.

We will be sure to allow more time at The Lafayette the next time we are in town. Kerry, thanks for a great stay.

We got last minute tickets to the BSC National Championship Game, so were limited in our hotel choices. We were impressed with the TripAdvisor rating and that there was availability, so we booked. The room rate was outrageous, but we expected that considering the circumstances. Arriving early for check-in, the front desk did accommodate us with a suite which was not quite clean. There were crumbs on a table which we mentioned to our bellman. He got a housekeeping person to remove them, but after she left I noticed under the crumbs were food stains. I called housekeeping to change the tablecloth, which they did, but why didn't the maid notice that when she brushed off the crumbs? The hotel provided the excuse that she was new, but if that was the case, then a supervisor should have checked her work in my opinion, and at the exorbitant rates they were charging I would think they could afford better help.

The next "bad" I noticed was TP in the toilet when neither of us has used it.

A small round facial soap was stashed in the bathmat which was left in the bathtub. When I picked up the mat, the soap fell into the drain and was stuck. It took me a good 20 minutes to finally pry it out. Without my saying anything about that incident, the next day the maid left the correct bath soap.

Twice I went down to the front desk to inquire about the non-feather pillows I had requested. I was informed they didn't have any. Unacceptable answer! One of those trips was because no one would answer the phone there when I tried to call. On my second trip there I waited 20 minutes for someone to show up, but alas to no avail. Finally the pillows showed up.

The one good thing about this hotel was it's location...about equidistant between the Superdome and the French Quarter.

We scrambled for a New Year's hotel near the Quarter and stumbled on the Lafayette based on TripAdvisor ratings. The room was suite-style and comfortable. The staff was friendly. Located on Lafayette square, we were a few blocks from Bourbon St and a short walk to the Superdome for the Sugar Bowl, exactly the location we wanted. The price was much more affordable than a stay in the Quarter. The one negative was the room was FREEZING. The heating system was not user-friendly, but a quick call to maintenance made it much better. It was still a little chilly. Overall a good stay and we would stay here again.
