The location is great! Walking distance to great downtown restaurants, bars and local shops. The hotel was not very well insulated and could hear the people coming back from bars at 2-3 a.m. and leaving for breakfast at 7:00 a.m. Room was ok, but bed was extremely uncomfortable-felt like I was sleeping on a dorm mattress.

Our room was a nice room with city view but the parking was a nightmare. I drove around and around the hotel and ended up having to park in a city parking ramp. It was very inconvenient.
I appreciated the four cup coffe maker in room instead of those one-cup brewers other hotels are using now.

Tried to use the pool, but my key wouldn't open the door. I didn't want to go all the down to desk, so I skipped the pool. Key worked for fitness center.

Nobody was unfriendly and nobody was over friendly.

Next time I'll stay a little ways out at a hotel with surplus parking.

Clean, attentive staff didn't dine at the restaurant but was well directed by the Concierge to a local eatery and watering hole. Some times when you travel and stay at these chains in smaller locations they can tend to be tired and out dated, not the HI Lafayette, I would recommend this establishment.

The downtown location makes this property convenient to Purdue and downtown businesses. The public areas are well maintained. The restaurant for dinner suffers from "hotel pricing" for unremarkable Italian fare, but edible after a long day of travel. The restaurant does excel at breakfast, serving lots of fresh fruit and eggs made to order. The rooms are completely average. The windows don't open and there's a sinus-gagging smell of Fabreze everywhere. AC is wall convector-style ala 1980. Be prepared to move furniture to get to plugs -- wall plugs are located behind desks and tables. On the plus side, well-equipped business center off the lobby.
