Axel's take: 8.0/10
A good-value airport stop with friendly staff, but uneven upkeep of the extras. A straightforward 3-star airport hotel, scored for what it is.
This straightforward 3-star airport hotel is a strong pick for a short Lafayette stay: practical, generally clean and good for the price. Recent Tripadvisor and Expedia guests repeatedly praise the welcoming staff, comfortable beds and breakfast. Booking.com’s overall ratings reinforce that picture, particularly for cleanliness and value. Free breakfast, parking and an airport shuttle make it especially useful for overnight stops and work trips.
The trade-off is maintenance rather than a widespread problem with the basics. Several 2026 Expedia guests report broken fitness equipment or an unavailable hot tub, although another June guest used the tub successfully. Some guests also describe dated surroundings and occasional room-equipment faults. Confirm the shuttle arrangements and any facilities you specifically need. We’d skip it for a pool-focused family stay or if consistently polished rooms and amenities matter more than value.
