Second time we've stayed here, and may be our new go-to stay when visiting family in Lafayette. In a neighborhood right off of the highway, so it's very easy to get places while still offering cleanliness, simplicity, quiet and seclusion

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.

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.

Unacceptable
My wife walked in to the bathroom and said, this is disgusting! There was a huge rusted out area on the bathtub. Bad enough that you could scratch yourself and break the skin. Also, the bath mat had hair all on it. My wife didn’t even wash her hair or brushed it. Also, once we laid in bed, her feet got caught in the sheet, only to find out it had a big tear on the sheet. The bed itself was very comfortable.

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.

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. 😁
