Review of Smart Stay Inn in Lafayette, LA

Not what i expected. Limited amenities. No tissue in room , no breakfast. Could put a couple of bottled waters in room for coffee. Room had slight odor, like urine smell upon arrival. Lysol took care of. Total bill was to be 76.00 but in checking charge from Hotel.com it charged me 79.81, WHY THE EXTRA INCREASE?.

Some improvements needed

The hotel room needed a couple of chairs and maybe a table, also a larger wastebasket. There was food left in the freezer of the refrigerator from a previous guest.

We were greeted by very gracious, friendly staff and there is easy parking. That said, I have to be honest and state the reason the parking is easy is that the motel is the only thing around. It is quiet because there isn’t anything to bother you. When we pulled in, we were a little uncomfortable, but it was completely fine. The room was lovely! New furniture, comfortable bed. Mini fridge with actual small freezer with its own door. New flooring. There were two things that kept us from giving 5 stars. The room had a very distinct smoke smell. It was not overpowering, but you could tell it had been covered up when renovated instead of ripped out. The bathtub had been painted instead of replaced. We slept well and checked out easily. Hopefully they will correct these issues and you will have a 5 star stay!!

Horrible

I booked that place due to its reviews which are probably fake. I booked a non-smoking room. The room I got smelled like a ashtray. It was dirty. Sticky floor in the bathroom, for sure it was not cleaned. There was even blood on the door frame to the bathroom, which has been tried clean off. When I wanted to ask for another room, no one was at the front desk available. I just left the place then and looked somewhere else to stay.
