I chose the Lafayette because I wanted a hotel with ambiance instead of a bland chain hotel. The location was fantastic, close to the river and parks. There was dedicated parking for guests adjacent to the hotel. Breakfast was not included.
My room had a view of the river, which was a nice surprise. There were 2 twin beds in the room, an antique desk, and a modern TV. The bathroom was adequate. Some noise could be heard during the night, but the air-conditioner usually drowned out all other noise.
While the location couldn’t be beat, I probably would stay in a chain hotel the next time I’m in town.
