Hotels near Lafayette Airport - LFT, Lafayette

Lafayette is a hidden gem that left a lasting impression on me. The city's rich cultural heritage and vibrant atmosphere make it a truly unique place to visit. From its lively music scene to its captivating art galleries, there was no shortage of entertainment options. The Cajun State Fair, with its lively atmosphere and entertaining attractions, offered a wonderful opportunity to immerse oneself in the local culture and experience the vibrant spirit of Lafayette.

Place was nice and clean. Don't like location of other property. Was not near what I was going to stay for. Venue was in town. I could have walked there. Original location had a leek in kitchen. My reservation was moved to the other place. Nice but not what I wanted. Kind of disappointed.

Traveling around the area, going on swamp tour, went to Baton Rouge to the old capitol building was beautiful. Went to plantation was awesome. Went to Holly beach was great. Went to the Tabasco plant and took tour and viewed the gardens, went to Rip Van WInkle house was very interesting. Went to the zoo in Baton Rouge was a little disappointed not all the animals were out and they are remodeling so only seen 1/3 of the grounds. Went to antique stores , recommend the Red School House that was so cool, and nice. very organized. I would not recommend New Orleans experience was horrible, city is trash with graffti all over and not so friendly people.

I love the wide variety of restaurants. I like the downtown entertainment venues and restaurants also. Lafayette also offers plate lunches at markets. The ones at Champagne’s Market offer a lot for the money. I’m always pleased with the portions. The merchandise at Champagne’s Market in the Carencro area offers good quality items and a fantastic dining room for eating. The patio area is also nice too.

Lafayette is a smaller town mid size city where I have family. It’s a little congested for its size but… it definitely has great shopping, eateries and some areas of prestige. I will come back to experience more

Lafayette is a quiet Louisiana town that has the charm and quaintness of a typical French small town. The ambience was peaceful; visited the Evangeline statue in St. Martin Parish at the Saint Martin de Tours Mother Church of the Acadians and also visited the Longfellow - Evangeline State Historic Site. Pressed for time, I would love to get back and visit soon....
