Homewood Suites by Hilton Lafayette

This was not at all like I know Hilton to be! The room was very dated, and by that I mean there are visible scratches and dents in the wall, the carpet was flat because it's so old. The air conditioning worked great; however, when it kicked on, you could not hear the TV because it was so loud. It sounded like I was inside an airplane engine! That being said, I was there on a Wednesday when they have a nice (free) buffet. The food was not only plentiful, it was all delicious! Also, the staff were all very nice and friendly. I traveled with my dog, and they were very sweet to her. I was especially grateful that the woman checking me in informed me there's no elevator and I'd booked a second floor room. Going up and down steps is difficult on my 10-year old dog, so I was appreciative she was able to move me to the first floor.

Great value close to Purdue. More space for the $$. Great free breakfast. Nice lobby/eating area. Green space to walk around if you have a pet. Wednesday night happy hour with a nice light dinner buffet, also free with stay. Space was clean. Staff was very friendly.

I am giving this hotel 2 stars because the breakfast was decent; however, overall, we were not satisfied with our stay. The lobby had an unpleasant smell, and the room felt old, well-worn, and in need of a deep cleaning. The overall atmosphere also had an uncomfortable vibe. There was loud noise from the furnace and constant noise from people walking upstairs. The ceilings were very low, especially in the bathroom. As a result, we were not able to sleep well. We have stayed at many Hilton hotels, and this was by far the worst one. The room we stayed in needs an immediate facelift and thorough cleaning. It is disappointing that this hotel is part of the Hilton brand. We would not return.
