SpringHill Suites by Marriott Lafayette South at River Ranch
Jayden at check-in was one of the friendliest people I’ve had so far in my hundreds of hotel stays. I always love this area near the hotel, so many places to eat and shop. Hotel is comfy and clean. Breakfast is lacking in options.

The front desk agent wasn’t rude, but also wasn’t friendly, wasn’t welcoming, or cared to talk much. The room was nice, clean, and fresh. Breakfast was limited to cereal and fruit. Overall, we enjoyed our stay. It wasn’t our first time at the property, and won’t be our last.
