Sad to see this former really nice mall in the state it is in today. Just in terrible shape. only…read morereally nice stores are Dillard's, H&M and Express. The J.c. Penney's hasn't been updated since it opened in 1992/993. the carpet in it is disgustingly dirty. So many sections are empty. The food court is abysmal. Parts of the parking lot are nothing but pot holes. Have had friends tell me they refuse to shop there because it's just so run down. Wish a different company would buy it and revitalize it.

The mall is ok. Seems like as per most malls of today it is a dying thing. Some of the stores were…read moreout of business but still plenty there to shop at. I was here on a Tuesday afternoon and could have used it for a jogging track it was so dead.

Love how they've remodeled the airport. The only complaint, as others have pointed out, is size,…read morewhich isn't necessarily something that's anyone's fault. I will say that this location tends to be consistently clean, and the new design has accommodated more comfortable seating/lounging arrangements that have truly elevated the space! Flying in from California is such a hassle. I've flown in primarily into New Orleans for the past decade because that's how inconvenient/expensive it is to fly into Lafayette. Sometimes what could fly me into New Orleans for $150 roundtrip may cost me $700 ONE WAY into Lafayette. It just doesn't make sense, and on top of that, the rental cars are more expensive as well due to a smaller fleet and less competition, as there are only 3 companies in their terminal, I believe. I do wish for expansion, as I will likely be flying back into Acadiana Parish the rest of my life to visit family and my hometown. It would make a huge difference in the quality of my travels into Louisiana, as my commute would go from 2 hours to 15 minutes if they could figure something out! The location tends to be clean, but I will say they need to get the rental car center together. There shouldn't be crazy waits on cars, especially with such a small fleet. The airport does what it needs to do otherwise, and I haven't had major issues outside of price and inconvenient rental car hiccups.

The agent then put on fresh gloves before apologizing for having to open it up. I joked with her that I needed a pack of rubber gloves so I wouldn't have to use so much alcohol spray when traveling. She then offered me a few pairs of gloves if I wanted some. My flight was delayed, so I moseyed on down to the cafe to get a snack for the road. Lafayette airport has the best airport food ever. The server brought my food, & it was the wrong order. She went back to the kitchen to ask the manager to personally make it for me. Then she said I could keep the previous order and she also extended me 20% off of my bill. I tipped her handsomely, including some two dollar bills, which she got a huge kick out of. Stopped in their pristine bathrooms and thankedthe attendant for always keeping them so clean. We chuckled about how filthy airport bathrooms are, and she said when she travels, she has to resist the urge to clean up other airport bathrooms. I've said it before, but Lafayette airport is the best! Especially for international travel.

Day 1-3 I was able to bring my wallet but day four I can not?! We are not sneaking cheeseburgers in here with our wallets. And also, why allow full sized carry on luggage in here and NOT a wallet. I'm literally watching people with all these bags and outside food and drinks and I know these people aren't athletes. The facilities were clean, the seating is good, the chicken fingers were good but again this bag policy needs work. Also it was very cold...blankets were permitted. And if you need to talk... I'm sitting in section 110 I'll be here all day.

It's a great place to escape crappy weather, it's free and most importantly, books are our friends. Full disclosure: I'm not actually from around these parts. We were just passing through and needed a place for our kids to play. The children's department here was PHENOMENAL. So many great, educational toys and games for them, in addition to the expansive book selection. There are rows of computers, plenty of kid sized tables, chairs, blocks, puzzles, games and interactive features. They offer a story time and there's a room for crafts. You can tell a lot of care and planning went into the design of this space, the whole city should be proud.

I like that they have quiet rooms but when I went, a girl was on zoom with the speaker on and she…read morewas loudly talking with no respect to step out or be quiet.

This is a review of the Lafayette Parish Clerk of Court…read more I find myself in Lafayette from time to time but this time was different. I needed to register as an officiant and the place you do that is inside the courthouse at the Clerk of Court. The people were super nice. I paid my $5, showed them the notarized paperwork, and boom, I am now Rev. John or John the Most Reverent. You better recognize. Here are a few tips. 1. Parking sucks and it looks like they are aggressively enforcing parking rules. Make the block a few times and you will eventually find a spot. 2. Leave your weapons or prohibited items in your car. There are cops inside and they frown upon you bringing in stuff you shouldn't. 3. The clerk has all of the necessary guidelines to conduct business online. Read up and you will be in and out in a few minutes. 4. Find someone who knows where to eat. It is Lafayette and they have the best food in the state. I failed miserably at this as I left town as soon as I received my new title. Deuces! Rev. John out.
