The outside of the hotel left little to be desired. Upon checking in, I found out that they had remodeled and just reopened 2 days prior. Trees had just been removed from the front and that was why the parking lot had work trucks and was messy. The rooms were very nice and clean. The hallways were lit well. The staff was pleasant and very friendly. I would recommend and would stay again.

If you have a dog this is an awesome choice. I did not and the dog next door whined for two days. The hotel is in an excellent location. Tiffany on night duty was absolutely amazing- loved her. I had a safe and trouble free stay. Would definitely return.

Parking is terrible after a certain time at night. There’s literally no where to park so you have to park in Dairy’s Queen parking lot. But besides that the hotel is lovely and very clean.

Hotel is nice, our room was a good size. Lobby is small,we had a team staying for regionals so the kids didn’t have a big hang out area inside but they made due and the staff was great

There were a lot of people that seemed to be living there and making it like home. Drinking and smoking in the stairwell, dogs, barking, people with the doors open cooking and having gatherings. People up all during the night like it was an apartment complex where people lived having a party.

Was clearly pet friendly. We didn't bring ours but our room smelled like a dirty dog. The floors were spongy and felt wet. The ac worked but when you went near it you could smell the dog smell even worse.

Stayed 5 nights

We booked a Candlewood Suites room in Lafayette in advance for 5 nights, hoping to enjoy our stay while exploring the area and visiting the crawfish festival. The problems started piling up right from the beginning. My key to the room was not working, the phone in the room to call the service desk wasn’t working either, had to go downstairs to have it recoded. Preparation for dinner didn’t go well either as the stove was out of service. The clerk pretended to have sent a technician, who never showed up. The room was depressingly humid and smelly. Everything was sticky and damp to the touch, there was mold growing between windows. It was the worst hospitality experience ever. We couldn’t spend a single night in the suite, moved to another hotel. The management didn’t care to refund me at all for any of the prepaid 5 nights.

This was probably the nicest hotel we’ve ever stayed at as a family. Front desk lady was so polite and helpful. We were there for travel ball and the location was great in relation to the sports complex. Room was so nice and clean. You cannot beat the kitchenette in the room. Thoroughly impressed. We intend to book and stay again for future trips.
