Potato chip and hair in one of the beds.
Shower didn’t wasn’t sealed so it was peeling but that was okay but finding hair and a potato chip in one of the beds was disheartening for feeling the place was clean.

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.

Never again
The bathroom smelled of wet mop, the bedsheets and comforter had what looked like blood on them and really no place to sit things. The area was sketchy with lots of people walking around and sitting in parked cars in the parking lot.

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.

Room had NO CHAIR, except for desk chair. Bathtub had been painted and large sections of it were bare where paint was peeling off. Bed was uncomfortable with too soft pillows

I’ve stayed at the Smart Stay on several occasions. The price is very affordable and I’ve never had any problems with my stays. Plus the rooms are very clean and kept up. I will stay there again. 😁

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.

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?.
