Nice place out of the city
We chose to stay here because everywhere around Lafayette seemed so unsafe. We liked that this hotel was out of the area and had good reviews.

Evangeline Downs is the best property in Opelousas, hands down. I would rather stay there every time we're there. The rooms are great, they're clean, and there's not a lot of people hanging around. Every one is going about their businesss.
