Wingate by Wyndham Lafayette Airport

Excellent location & very accommodating when I had to change my arrival date due to a cancelled flight.

My family drove down to Lafayette from Kansas to pick up one of our boys who was attending a Boy Scout Camp, it was an 11 hour drive. Check-in was seamless and fast. However, when we got to our double room it smelled of mildew and you could feel condensation in the air. We knew something was off and discovered that the hotel has built a room around the Mechanical Room, to access the mechanical room you had to go through our room! I went down to the front desk to get another room and was told that between a softball tournament and the Boy Scout Camp there were no more rooms available. I called the corporate number and they sent a message to the manager who was visiting another property. He immediately came over and talked to us and did a room inspection which he acknowledged was in horrible condition. We were tired and at this point really did not want to have to try to find another place to stay. The manager said that he did have 2 single rooms available but that would split up the 4 of us and we preferred to stay together. He informed us that the single rooms had a couch and they could bring in a roll away bed. He took us to the rooms so that we could inspect them and choose the one we wanted and it was a totally different experience. The rooms smelled clean and airy and there was no condensation. We decided to stay and took the room change. The boys were excited to sleep on the couch and rollaway bed and the mattress on the Queen bed was heavenly, so much so that we inquired about what mattress it was so that we can replace ours at home! The breakfast was good, one of the boys even had thirds! Checkout fast and easy. The manager (unfortunately I do not recall his name) was phenomenal and turned what could have been a disastrous stay and first impression of Lafayette into a very pleasant and enjoyable overnight stay. Overall from other reviews, I would say that the rooms vary with condition and the breakfast depends on the day I guess. But I would stay here again if in Lafayette.

Upon arrival there were guest drinking/loitering in the parking lot carrying on. The check in clerk was not friendly, never took her earbuds out to speak to me, and it appeared I was interrupting her from whatever she was watching on her phone. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. The AC would not get to a comfortable temperature. It was either too cold, too hot, and wayyy too muggy as it even felt the carpet was damp/wet at times. The shower only put out HOT water, and I mean HOT!!! It did not matter what way I turned the faucet knob it was scolding so that shower was no fun! For $100 a night, I expected better. In the future, I will be spending the extra $20 or so to get a better place.

There was old food on the floor from the previous guest in our room (pepperoni and French fries), lacked sufficient towels (2 towels for 3 guests), fridge did not work, telephone was missing, towel hook in bathroom was missing, and staff did not address our concerns.

Room was exceptionally roomy, clean, well-maintained, and comfortable. Staff was pleasant and helpful. Lobby had comfortable chairs. Breakfast was slightly better than other chains; in addition to the standard breads, sugary cereals and fake sugary juices that are at many hotel chains, there were also hot scrambled eggs and sausages. Our room had a king size bed, sofa, mini frig, microwave, coffee maker, roomy bathroom. Bathtub drain was blocked at first; it was fixed quickly and the staff checked in with us later to make sure it was ok.

Location is close by airport, but not close to anything. And if you’re not travelling by car, forget it, not in walking distance of anything, Single use plastic for every breakfast was very disappointing to see, The ‘fitness room’ is just a treadmill and a pulley machine that doesn’t work. No weights at all, The bed was very comfortable and the showers hot,

We stayed here for 2 nights with a school group. Rooms 226 and 234 had roaches. Staff was friendly and other rooms appeared clean. Walls are thin like other reviewers mentioned so that might be a deterrent for some travelers. Breakfast wasn’t very good according to those in our group who tried it. However, there is a Starbucks and several other breakfast options close to this hotel.

Close to Dome with handicap parking. Allowed us to check in early so we could make the game in time. Excellent check in service and check out service. Handicap room needs work in the bathroom. Needs high toilet and seat screwed on better.

Wingate by Wyndham is the perfect location for when we stay in Lafayette. Property is very clean; and the staff is very accommodating. The breakfast is a great addition for convenience! The king room with the small sitting area is very homey and also quite roomy! Coffee pot, microwave and frig are great and much needed assets. This was our second stay here and now it is our go-to!
