The laffyette was a wonderful hotel. Clean, cozy and old fashioned yet with conveniences you would expect: great restaurants , coffee shop and roof top deck. Also its said to have friendly ghosts, however we did not experience any.

Absolutely stunning building! The food was amazing! The staff was so friendly!! I loved the historic charm of the building & I believe it to be haunted. We had our own experiences that were definitely a little funky. Flickering lights, tv cutting in & out, whispers like “stop” & “don’t”. just odd coincidences, you could say. Loved my stay! Would recommend it to anyone!!!

It was a beautiful property for its age and history (survived floods), the rooms were small but well appointed (ours had a quaint desk) and the bed was comfortable. Our only issue with the rooms was that the shower never got really hot, just warm. The breakfast was filling and cooked perfectly.

The location and history provided can't be beat. The hotel alone was filled with pictures and information. The older phones even provided an audio history. The rooms were put together well and were comfortable. The restaurant and bar were very nice. Brooke was a great help with dinner suggestions. The common bathrooms however need a good scrub. Carpets are difficult to keep clean I'm sure but they also need shampooed so that people don't think the rooms will be dirty. Overall, nice stay.

Had a nice waterview from the room which was nice. As far as the room, very small, no refrigerator no microwave, very small bathroom. It was smaller than my bedroom at home.

It is an old historical hotel. The carpet felt dirty. The easy chair in my room was wet. Too much furniture made the already small room feel even smaller.
