    The hotel is a local destination for partygoers so it becomes a major club on Friday and Saturdays. Oh, and get to the pool at sunrise or you won’t get a seat. I really did enjoy my stay please don’t be dismayed. Book it bc it’s an experience you’ll never forget.

    Staff was amazing. Drinks were excellent. Rooms and overall ambiance was fabulous!

    Worth the price!

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Every little thing from the bar to the music rooms super clean. Loved it.

    The hotel is beautiful, but it lacks some of the basic amenities that you would naturally expect from a place that charges you this much. For example, no coffee in the rooms (except packets of instant espresso they will deliver if you call), wash cloths, cleaning of your room during your stay unless specifically requested, water spills ALL over the floor from the shower due to the design, and the beds are truly terrible. The valet employees were very nice. Overall, It’s a fun hipster spot with cool restaurants and bars, but it was insanely overpriced and not quite what I look for in my hotel stays.

    AMAZING

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    I loved this hotel! My only (but a major) complaint is that it was impossible to get time by the pool. People claimed all the lounge chairs early in the morning and stayed all day. One of the main reasons we chose to stay here was the beautiful pool, but there was no organized system for hotel guests to be able reserve a spot or to limit the amount of time people can use the lounge chairs. It was very disappointing. But everything else was great.

    Such a gem of a Hotel. Very convenient, as it has it all, restaurants, bar, pool, game area. Very nice

    It’s completely open to the public. We were excited to use the pool however it was packed with non-guest. There was no towels, anywhere to lounge and it took a long time to get the servers attention for food/drinks. We wanted to get a late night bite and were told there’s no room service, only the 24/7 dinner. We walked down to the dinner and were told there was a 45min wait. We explained that we were guest and were told it didn’t matter and we had to wait like everyone else. Luckily there was a very friendly and helpful waiter who advocated for us. Honestly if you are looking to enjoy the pool, restaurants and bars there’s no need to pay over $600 a night.

    Incredible place

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Clean and beautiful room with a mini bar which were decently priced, though through personal preference, the shower design is beautiful but we made quite the water mess since it doesn’t really have a door or curtain. Had to use multiple towels to dry it up. Loved the whole experience of the stay but that and no furniture other than the closet to store folded clothes

    It was a bar that had restaurants and a hotel.

    Everything about this hotel exceeded expectations! Every staff member, whether it was the pool, The Gutter, or the Diner, were extremely helpful & genuinely nice people. 10/10 experience!

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Everything on point

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    So many options onsite you don’t even need to leave the property. Incredible hotel!

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    We had an amazing time after our wedding at the Lafayette.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    If you are looking for a night or two of one property that offers everything from a sports bar that has a two lane bowling alley 🎳 a separate jazz club with a nice super club, and a separate Mexican restaurant as well. It has a nice pool and pool bar, as well as a 24 hour dinner for the late party night. The rooms are clean and comfortable, it is set up more for the couple that likes to party, but it is still nice for all adults age groups. It is not for kids in my opinion at least small children. I have been there a few times and I will go back

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    4 days in the hotel with no warm water for a shower. No acknowledgment from the staff to make it right either. They didn’t care at all
