DoubleTree by Hilton Lafayette

Lafayette, Louisiana

Star rating

The hotel

A riverside retreat in Louisiana, this hotel lies along the Vermilion Bayou, just 3 miles from downtown Lafayette – but it offers a much more refreshing swim in its outdoor pool, which sits on the riverbank overlooking the water. The pool’s spacious deck’s a perfect place to let Louisiana’s river life pass you by, but you can also experience the Southern spirit in the local brews and light bites of Club 337; in the Cajun classics served at SoLA, including po’boys, gumbo, and shrimp cocktails; and even in the warm chocolate chip cookie you’re greeted with when checking in to Doubletree by Hilton Hotel Lafayette.

The hotel is fine and has a nice bar and restaurant but for us the location was terrible. There was nowhere to go or eat on foot. Located between the river and a busy road. We had a drink and ate in the hotel not what we wanted. Food was good. Have to say that the staff were all amazing. Kevin at check in was helpful and the two young women at… Read more

This is our go-to hotel when visiting Lafayette. Good location, relaxing pool area, nice rooms. It's a little dated buy they seem to update rooms regularly. It does cost a little more but you dont have loud kids running down the hall and guests are better behaved, if you catch my drift. I've stayed in 10 different hotels in town, and I like… Read more

It does cost a little more but you dont have loud kids running down the hall and guests are better behaved, if you catch my drift. I've stayed in 10 different hotels in town, and I like it here best. Close to U.L. and the Hospital area. Staff has always been friendly and helpful. Nice bar. Read less

I made a room reservation for my son and his wife that were arriving at midnight on Saturday April 12th, to Lafayette for a family funeral the next day. I called the hotel at 10 pm on Saturday to make sure everything was good and that my son would be able to check in to his room without any difficulty! I went to bed and around 3 am, I saw multiple texts from my son stating, that when they arrived to the hotel, the hotel told them that their system was down and couldn’t check them in. The hotel has no back up plan to get guests checked in! The Hilton app was also not working! The staff offered no help in figuring out where they could go. At that time of night, they basically left my kiddos stranded to fend for themselves. My son and daughter in law were Luckily that after multiple searches, they found a room in another hotel out of Lafayette or they would have to spend the night in their car. The hotel has cancelled that charge, but we are all terribly disappointed in their ability to honor their part of the deal! We can’t trust that this won’t happen again and next time, we may have to sleep in our cars! So I suggest go to a hotel that has their act together! Read less

There are better options elsewhere, especially for the price. The folks working here are doing their absolute best, so hats off to them. Everything else is pretty bad. Multiple guests in the lobby with double-booked rooms after having walked in on other guests (mobile check ins, front desk check ins, didn’t matter). Rooms in desperate need of… Read more
There are better options elsewhere, especially for the price. The folks working here are doing their absolute best, so hats off to them. Everything else is pretty bad. Multiple guests in the lobby with double-booked rooms after having walked in on other guests (mobile check ins, front desk check ins, didn’t matter). Rooms in desperate need of updating, old rickety beds, peeling paint, visible mold on air vents, etc. If this place was $80/night, I’d of not written a review. But with taxes, etc, it was around $200. Nope. Read less
