What is this place even? It’s technically a hotel, but I’m pretty sure I was the only person staying there — maybe one other guest at most. “Creepy” is honestly the best word for the experience. The front door closes and locks at 7pm, and no staff appear again until around 9am. Instead of guests being able to use a keycard at the main entrance, you have to go through a back parking lot, down a strange alley, and enter through the rear door. It felt unsafe and unnecessarily unsettling, especially at night. It’s odd that they haven’t figured out a better after-hours entrance system. The room itself was okay — a little grungy, but the bed was comfortable and the AC worked well. Still, I really didn’t want to leave the room once I was inside. The location is convenient and centrally located downtown, which is probably the biggest positive. But for such an interesting small city, Lafayette deserves much better accommodations than The Juliet. I’m genuinely glad to hear a new hotel is coming to town.
