Had I read no reviews before coming here, I'd have wondered why all of Greater Lafayette isn't…read moreeating here. We had dinner here and the entire experience was fantastic. Reservations were simple to make online. We were greeted with a menu and an excellent wine and cocktail list. With very few other diners, we were treated to the best seat in the house with a view of flowering spring trees through neogothic windows. Another couple was enjoying a glass of wine on the porch, while another was exploring the interior of this fantastic Victorian mansion. Service and ambience were both amazing thoughout -- this is truly a unique dining experience. We had the langoustine cakes and the soup of the day, both great starts bursting with flavor and texture. We had the hangar steak and pork chop for entrees, paired with a well structured Zinfandel. The pork chop was particularly outstanding, owing both to the quality of the ingredient and expert preparation, paired with just-sweet enough parsnip puree, rainbow carrots, blistered grapes, and carmelized onion. The hangar steak was impeccably presented, cooked to temperature, and most important, a very delicious cut of well aged beef. For dessert we had a lemon-lavender mousse bombe, again as well presented as it was delicious. The tart lemon pop rocks on top were tge perfect touch and sheer nostalgic pleasure. We finished our evening with a self tour of the mansion, and carried home half of our amply portioned meals to enjoy as leftovers. Lafayette's best kept secret. Meals as memorable as the historic setting.

I hope other improvements are made, as the layout of things seems cobbled together over time. Also, because the YMCA next door is moving, the fairgrounds will finally have a paved parking lot. Lots of good things in the future for the old Fairgrounds.

Your typical carnival rides, fair food and midway games await. Tents for vendors and food help shield you from the sun but plan on hydrating well and lather on the sunscreen for the day. We attended on a Sunday when the cat judging was taking place in the large Colosseum building. It was air-conditioned this year. I recommend going to cheer on your neighbor's kids participating in the 4-H livestock showing activities.

This is an older hotel but appears to have been renovated…read more I had a king balcony room on the 8th floor. My room was fine, and the balcony was very nice. It was a clear evening so I was able to enjoy the balcony. This is a good location if you want to enjoy Downtown Lafayette. Plenty of restaurants and bars within walking distance. While this hotel was ok I do prefer some of the other nearby hotels. I frequently work in Lafayette and have stayed in IHG and Marriott properties all over Lafayette.

Location is great if you want to be in the downtown area. Lafayette has a lot of fun nightlife…read more Upon entering the lobby, you get a distinct smell of natural gas. This was evident throughout the hotel during my stay. The lobby is a nice, comfortable place to meet up to relax and chat (except for that odor). The bar is nice as well. I haven't had a mixed drink there, so I can't make recommendations on that. Wine selection is average. The hotel was completely renovated approximately 2 years ago. Decor is new/modern. My room was clean and comfortable. They took out the pool when they did the renovation. There is still a small workout room. Now, why only 2 stars. In addition to the smell of gas throughout, I could not take a shower. Considering the new renovations, the state of the shower in my room was deplorable. And my room isn't the only one like that. We have associates that come in town and stay here. It is hit or miss on the showers depending on the room. Suites appear to have been completed with very nice showers and tubs so they typically try to book a suite. Regular rooms, all I can guess is they ran out of money??? I've posted pics for you. There are two other very nice hotels just across the river if you want to be in the downtown area. You'll pay a little more, but at least you'll be able to shower.

Said guest was outside drinking and smoking weeds in parking lot. It's against the law. She will call police and shut repast down. She walked around with mean look on face and bad attitude.

The room was clean and set to a comfortable 70 degrees. TV had the streaming feature so that was nice. I got to keep watching my shows while I got some work done in the evening. The only reason I gave 4 stars is they haven't modernized and added USB port ports but luckily I had brought my USB wall plug. WiFi was fast and consistent. I'll definitely stay again.

Bartender was also a pro (he'll remember me, I dropped something, it broke, and he would not let me help clean it up, it was my bad). Anyway, you get super clean, loft-like comfy ambience and stellar service!!

Five stars for the friendly, enthusiastic, helpful employees. The best thing about this hotel…read more Unfortunately, besides the employees there is little to recommend about this place. Although my room is nice, other areas of the hotel need to be renovated. There is a musty smell throughout, plus a strong smell of some kind of air freshener. If your room happens to be on the interstate side it is quite noisy. Just a stone's throw from I-65 where semi trucks rumble past both day and night. The front desk employee was extremely friendly and offered extensive area information to the guest who checked in just in front of me. She actually has created a handwritten list of all area restaurants. An employee who truly cares about the hotel guests. Definitely not my first choice of accommodations but sometimes other area hotels are booked up.

My in laws had a room and we were all hanging out there Friday night. We went to get the pull out couch ready for my young kids to sleep on and were lucky to find some items before our kids did. We found an bottle with pink capsules and baggie of white powder along with a bag with a box of bullets, 2 needles, and a balloon full of something hard. We collected everything called the cops to collect. My in laws packed their things and moved to our room. Once the police were notified the front desk was alerted and they moved my in laws to another room. Despite our complaints of the room not being thoroughly cleaned and inspected, they were reimbursed only half of their payment for the room. We also never received a receipt upon check out. Overall a well named facility had not provided the safety and comfort I was looking forward to.
