This place is super pretty, but the check-in area is not that great. The staff was super friendly and kind, but I think it is somewhat stressful. You have the poor staff doing check-in and lattes at the same time. Additionally, you had everyone that was checking in and wanting a latte in the same area and near the lobby sitting area. If they were to format everything a little better, it would not be so stressful.

A really great place with lots of personality. A terrific neighborhood with lots of walkable restaurants and unique shops. Restaurants at the hotel are quite good as well. Weekends have a more celebratory vibe so pace yourself accordingly.

It had a gorgeous atmosphere with my favorite 24 hr diner. It was the holidays so it was extremely busy, especially since they decked out the place, so room service wasn’t available. No phone in the room for room service and if you tried calling through their online number, they wouldn’t answer. Other than that it was absolutely amazing.

Not my kind of place. It’s more of a nightclub with rooms, which were very small, kitschy, with no ventilation fan in the bathroom. Which actually was very roomy.

Extremely unique and thoughtful property! Lots of nuances and things to appreciate at this property, which really is the antithesis of corporate brands. Definitely something to experience for yourself. As the property really is busy and hopping, make sure to plan all of your dining reservations in advance, especially during the holiday season.

If could give the hotel a 4.75 instead of 5 stars I would only because I feel that hotel guests should get some perks for staying at the hotel such as shorter lines for ordering a cocktail (lines are really long) at their beautiful bars.... that being said that's the only recommendation I would have for the Lafayette. Property is beautiful and the holiday decorations are amazing. I highly recommend. Will have a staycation during the summer because the pool area looks amazing.

The hotel is extremely, wildly noisy on the weekend. It is a totally legitimate choice but it is completely irresponsible not to alert patrons of the situation before their stay. I’d proceed with caution for any weekend, unless you are sure you want to stay up partying or listening to beats and screams, or unless you make sure you have a quiet room. Also, worst pillows we have ever had at a hotel, by far. Just horrific. The staff is uneven and often disinterested in helping. They are more Responsive on text than in person. And, they interact with their own restaurants and spaces on third party platforms, which is bizarre.
