“Red Roof Inn Lafayette, La, presents a budget-conscious option right off the interstate. While renovations show some rough edges, the location is practical, despite its less-than-desirable surroundings; minding one's business appears key. I noted some past guests found the experience basic but adequate, particularly for the price.”
