Lafayette Hotel & Club

8/10 Good

"Love the decor. Bed was a lil soft for me personally. Great food in the diner."

Keating Hotel By At Mine Hospitality

8/10 Good

"This stay was interesting to say the least. The room was a mix between an old school/hospital/jail room. The door to the room didn’t have a dead bolt or security bolt, only a latch. And also it was a push door with a lock, so the handle was useless. It’s in the middle of a very noisy block, the room basically shakes until 2am, but they provide earplugs. The shower reminded me of a locker room shower, as well as the sinks. Besides what I mentioned just being unexpected, the bed was comfy, the staff was very nice."
