Go for drinks, don't stay for the hotel

The Lafayette is nightlife masquerading as a hotel. Their priority is clearly their bars, restaurants and pool. Rooms are poorly laid out, smell, and are dimly lit. I arrived late and was just excited to get to sleep. The first room I was assigned had a massive hole in the center of the comforter. The second room I was moved to had a constantly running toilet that wouldn't stop making noise and didn't flush properly. I had 2 nights scheduled at the hotel but left after how disappointed I was with the first night. Despite communicating this to the hotel and Hotels.com immediately (as soon as I realized room 2 was no better than room 1), neither party was able to connect to actually get me a refund.

Stay for the hotel not for the rooms

The hotel itself is amazing!! So unique, fun, and really an experience. The room itself I would give a 3 out of five, especially because of the price. We had two queen beds and the room was very tiny. A veryyyy difficult space for four girls to get ready in due to space, mirrors, & lighting. Also we were celebrating a birthday and I made note of that and we did not walk in to complimentary champagne in the room (if seen others get that for celebrations). My rating for the room is low for a big reason being the price. You’re really getting your moneys worth from the hotel decorations, bars, and experience.
