Wingate by Wyndham Lafayette Airport

8/10 Good

"My family and I stayed at this hotel over the weekend and it was a good experience. We were moving my daughter back down for school and everything needed was in a great location. The hot breakfast was GREAT! There was something for everyone. This was our second time staying at this hotel."

Drury Inn & Suites Lafayette, LA

10/10 Excellent

"We love this hotel. The lovely floorplan has the rooms arranged in a large circle around a beautiful atrium. We absolutely loved the courtesy evening meal they gave us with soup, sandwiches, snacks, and lots of unexpected goodies. We were even offered 3 free alcoholic drinks (cocktails, wine, beer). We are already looking forward to our next stay. BTW, our room was also spacious, clean and comfortable and the breakfast was excellent."
