  • Nice cafe downstairs

    December 31, 2024
    I like getting coffee conveniently located in the lobby (Public Espresso). I also like that it's near the Greyhound station as well. Careful though of what they consider a bedtroom, as some of the bedrooms are very tiny. But giving this complex a lower star because of the apartment staff. Maintenance seems to oddly dissect things like apartment dust and walls when doing general maintenance calls. I noticed a common theme among residents that maintenance texts and sometimes takes photos inside ...
    your apartment and sends it to the manager who then, without talking or substantiating anything in person, writes a letter of potential dismissal from the property. I'v seen a lot of proof of this. The place in my opinion needs a new management and maintenance staff. People got nervous too when maintenance eerily starting asking questions about resident occupations and pitching their personal cleaning service while doing basic calls. Sounds like they were trying to make money off residents, which makes sense on why they were making odd comments about petty things. I'm guessing they are paid poorly.

  • 5 stars for the Hotel Lafayette!

    December 5, 2019
    I have lived at this location 4+ years. My apartment is equipped with modern amenities and is in a perfect downtown location. My rent is beyond reasonable and the utility costs are minimal. I even have free WiFi! Resident parking is easily coordinated with the city lots and street parking is readily available .This location is safe; secure, and perfect for young professionals looking to enjoy all the city had to offer. There are restaurants and coffee shops within the building, coin op laundry, ...
    easy access to the commuter rail, and deliveries are accepted at the leasing office. The building management is available all of the time to address all of your needs. The Hotel Lafayette residence apartments are truly a great place to live.
