Cloud 9 Sleeping
Impressions: La Quinta Inn & Suites Broussard delivers exactly what it promises: a quiet, comfortable place to rest. The standout feature is the mattress—easily one of the best I’ve slept on, rivaling luxury properties in Asia. The hotel itself is no-frills but reliable, offering peace, cleanliness, and a good night’s sleep.
Located just south of Lafayette Regional Airport, the property isn’t built for entertainment but for convenience. Free parking is a plus, and the vending machine covers late-night cravings. If you need more, Waffle House is only a few steps away.
Room & Amenities: My King Room was clean, featuring modern furniture and all the essentials you’d expect, including a TV, coffee maker, fridge, iron, and toiletries. Breakfast was included, though simple, and while the essentials were there, extras like bottled water or spare blankets would have been nice.
Staff & Service: Check-in was quick, staff were pleasant, and service matched the straightforward nature of the property.
Location & Surroundings: Think “airport hotel” energy—functional but not a destination in itself. Restaurants and shops are conveniently located.
Value for Money: Comfort-wise, the hotel delivers. Price-wise, it feels slightly high. A nightly rate of $70–$85 would better reflect the offering, but the mattress alone might convince some guests to pay more.
Recommendations
Final Word: A three-star hotel with a five-star mattress—come here to sleep well, not to be wowed.
