Sentimental for us, since we honeymooned there 25 years ago. Bed was way too soft for my liking, but the view of the river was great. Not handicapped accessible where we were, but we got help.

Expedia stinks! I'll never use your company again! The Lafayette Hotel was wonderful but our stay was going to be terrible because you would not let me change rooms! The front desk clerk is the person who saved our vacation in spite of your incredibly obstinate refusal to do anything!

Rude Behavior Description: Melissa, the manager, was rude in these specific ways: · She used a cranky, dismissive tone from the start. · She refused to listen or help with the issue about the bill. · She cut you off, stating she was "done talking" with you. · She abruptly ended the conversation by saying "goodbye" while you were still trying to resolve your problem.

Rooms are extremely small, bed was not a queen, was miserably uncomfortable with the springs poking through. We checked out a day early and went to a different hotel so we could get some sleep.

Everything was very nice! It’s an old historical hotel, so naturally has a little wear and tear. Seems to be very well maintained. Atmosphere was great. Quite and relaxing! Definitely worth the stay!!
