The attention to detail at the Lafayette Hotel was amazing. Everything about the hotel is absolutely beautiful and the staff was lovely. A few things that could have made the stay better: 1. We stayed in a room that was located directly above the sound system in the club downstairs. It was difficult to fall asleep on the earlier side, or go down for an afternoon nap. I think these rooms should be listed at a lower rate. 2. Regular housekeeping would be lovely. 3. The pool area needs to be more controlled. It isn't right that people who pay to stay in the hotel have to compete for chairs with people who come in from outside. I think that you should make it open to public during the weekdays, but close it to guests during the weekends. Way too busy otherwise.

I am very grateful to the staff for their attitude and the appearance of the hotel. My family and I had a great time. We stayed there for three days. The food and drinks were very good. The environment and the tranquility. I am really grateful. We have been resting for so long, but we have never had such a relaxing time as we have in this hotel. We are really happy to be back with you. Thank you for everything.
