"Very Cool Experience!"

Overall Score4.0/ 5

This was a very cool experience! The hotel is very clean and it felt like we were on the Titanic. It takes you back to a prior time with all of the antiques. The location is great and there are wonderful views of the Ohio River. It was a very neat experience. The employees were very kind and accommodating. I would stay there again because it was very clean and the location was perfect.

"Great Hotel with River Views!"

Overall Score5.0/ 5

We chose the Lafayette on the basis of its location right on the river. Because of the layout of the hotel and annex I think almost every room has a river view and there's a park right outside the door and you are literally steps from the river. It's an old hotel but NOT A BIT shabby. Our room had great mattresses and a brand new and spotlessly clean bathroom. We lucked out in that our third floor room was right around the corner from the stairs to the roof terrace with tables and chairs and nicely and planted with well tended impatiens around the edges and views of town and river. The food in the Lounge and Gun Room restaurants was good but there are also restaurants from brewpubs to fine dining a short walk away. Excellent boat watching and never having to use the car for our whole three day stay made this a perfect location for us. Staff was always friendly and helpful. We couldn't have had a better experience.

"Excellent experience in a historic hotel!"

Overall Score4.0/ 5

We had one of the larger rooms, a parlor room and it was worth the extra money (which wasn't much). We were very comfortable. Our breakfast experience was great. There were 8 of us and the service (thanks Claudia) and the food were excellent. The staff was very friendly and helpful.
