My awesome son-in-law made the reservationd for me, so they reservation was not aligned to my Hilton Honors membership, it didn't show up in my app so I called the number and Bruce answered at the location in Lafayette. He is an active listener and after a quick conversation, he was able to get my membership into the reservation and that way the electronic key was on its way to me in route.
If your from out of town drive slow, the streets are old, narrow, watch for potholes. Hotel is safe area of Lafayette.
Drive up and the building and landscaping presentation is flawless with plenty of parking and near the center of all things Lafayette.
When I walked in I was met by cart availability, and a bright and very clean lobby, lounging, front desk, cafe, and bar. This is proof the manager is on point and the staff team is working well together.
Walked to the check-in to validate ID for electronic key and I was greeted by Bruce with a smile, quickly processed, asked if there was anything, then to my room
I opted for the 6th floor in the back. It's likely the best view of downtown Lafayette you will get without being in the plane. The room looks like a fresh refurb, everything was fresh and clean.
Thanks to the staff team and their manager for giving me a real friendly, safe, and clean Hilton experience.

The guy at the front desk was so sweet and kind. Even figured out that he was from our home town Houma.

There wasn’t any hot water. I had to take a cold shower. When I complained I was literally dismissed. The best part of my stay was the outstanding grits. My hat goes off to the Chef. I believe at the very least a Hilton should first and foremost provide hot showers or shouldn’t charge for the room.

The room was clean but dated. The A/C system thermostat seemed a little off. The unit cooled the room until you were freezing, then turn off and not start until the room temperature went up to the point you would remove the sheets. Then turn on and freeze your butt off. Could have been worse and not worked at all.
Coffee was provided but you had to use faucet water to brew your coffee as you had to pay $2.00 for the bottled water in the room. Crazy right. Needless to say we didn't have coffee.
The grounds were clean and the staff friendly. The lounge and bar area appeared adequate from a distance, I did not use these areas during this stay. Perfect location if you are coming to a venue at the Cajun Dome and near to many Restaurants and shops. Safe travels my friends.
