“Smart Stay Lafayette is clearly in transition, undergoing renovations to modernize the rooms, which already feature comfortable beds and updated bathrooms. While the immediate area might raise eyebrows, the fenced parking and security patrol offer a sense of safety. I found the genuine effort of the new management to be a promising sign for this budget-friendly option.”
