The only issue was the uncertainty that the kitchen would be open for breakfast. Everything else would have been 5 stars

I made a mistake and booked for thursday night not wednesday night front desk lady one just brushed me off and said we are full you dont have a reservation. so i went to the parking lot and booked a room online for that night went back in and she was not really happy. front desk lady number 2 called me later and told me why i was not booked for wednesday and apologized that I had not been helped better by first lady. Our conference people were upset that no space was set aside for vender tables. the electric went out during breakfast the waffles were cold and water and coffee were only drink options set out during the day

The laffyette was a wonderful hotel. Clean, cozy and old fashioned yet with conveniences you would expect: great restaurants , coffee shop and roof top deck. Also its said to have friendly ghosts, however we did not experience any.

Absolutely stunning building! The food was amazing! The staff was so friendly!! I loved the historic charm of the building & I believe it to be haunted. We had our own experiences that were definitely a little funky. Flickering lights, tv cutting in & out, whispers like “stop” & “don’t”. just odd coincidences, you could say. Loved my stay! Would recommend it to anyone!!!
