The room was nice with the exception of a very slippery painted tub. The paint was peeling on the tub and it was hard to get out of because it was so slippery. The neighborhood was very sketchy.

Great price. Comfortable clean beds and clean room. Rough neighborhood but had no problems and the property was quiet. Bath tub was painted. Poorly and said paint was peeling off as I showered.

Review of Smart Stay Inn in Lafayette, LA
Not what i expected. Limited amenities. No tissue in room , no breakfast. Could put a couple of bottled waters in room for coffee. Room had slight odor, like urine smell upon arrival. Lysol took care of. Total bill was to be 76.00 but in checking charge from Hotel.com it charged me 79.81, WHY THE EXTRA INCREASE?.

Some improvements needed
The hotel room needed a couple of chairs and maybe a table, also a larger wastebasket. There was food left in the freezer of the refrigerator from a previous guest.

2/10 Poor

Horrible
I booked that place due to its reviews which are probably fake. I booked a non-smoking room. The room I got smelled like a ashtray. It was dirty. Sticky floor in the bathroom, for sure it was not cleaned. There was even blood on the door frame to the bathroom, which has been tried clean off. When I wanted to ask for another room, no one was at the front desk available. I just left the place then and looked somewhere else to stay.

The room was very clean with a remodeled bathroom. The sheets were clean and the bed was comfortable. A lot of space for parking. Truck parking for Truckers that is passing through.

4/10 Fair

no no no no
This hotel is recently renovated so I was told. It had been shut down for a while and just reopened. I think they opened a little prematurely. My room looked fine at 1st glance, not a 5 star by any means just good enough for quick 2 night stay until I went to shower. The bottom was peeling and the material was rusty. I would have never put my bare feet into this tub. I could have gotten tetanus from this rust! How they could ever put someone in this room and expect them to shower or bathe comfortably is beyond me. And I do not consider myself high maintenance. I asked for a new room and was placed in a room that smelled so heavily of smoke that it gave me a headache. I was told there are no smoking rooms but the previous hotel must have because it was obvious. I took a shower here before asking for another room because at least the bathroom was better. Not all the way clean (hair in the shower curtain, stained shower curtain, stain on towels) but at least good enough for a quick wash off. I then asked for a third room and I am glad I took a shower in the last one because this tub was peeling here too but at least not rusty. Not to mention in the second room, there was no deadbolt lock, however the first and third rooms did have one. The second room also had things missing off of the walls as compared to first and third rooms. The final and third room was good enough to lay my head. Overall not filthy but did not meet basic needs. They opened way too soon. Still needs work.
