The venue was both comfortable and fancy but not at all overdone. The biggest part for me as the principal and for the children was that they have a Donut Wall! You heard that correctly, a Donut Wall! I would without hesitation come back to this venue - nice people and a great spot for both indoor and outdoor photos. Many memories were made at our event and the people and venue had a lot to do with this.

Your typical carnival rides, fair food and midway games await. Tents for vendors and food help shield you from the sun but plan on hydrating well and lather on the sunscreen for the day.

Super friendly, very professional, & wants to give you exactly what you have in mind for your special day. Her and her crew have also put a huge emphasis on keeping individuals safe from the coronavirus by mandating temperature checks & wearing masks at the party. The tables are also spread out for social distancing & there are only 5-6 chairs per table. There wasn't a moment throughout the party planning or the event that I felt like I was being taken advantage of. I'd definitely host something here again!! I would highly recommend checking out Carnahan Hall for any event that you have in the future!

She helped me get everything planned, even knew things that I had spaced planning. She kept on top of things. Without her and my Matron of Honor, I would have been so stressed. We planned a wedding in 6 months, and during the corona pandemic, and we did it successfully. I highly recommend having your wedding here. The layout is perfect. They have a beautiful bridal suite, and a groomsmen suite. The bartenders were great! So much space. Separate room for the food line. Thank you Seema for providing the space for the wedding of our dreams! A night we will never forget!

Reservations were simple to make online. We were greeted with a menu and an excellent wine and cocktail list. With very few other diners, we were treated to the best seat in the house with a view of flowering spring trees through neogothic windows. Another couple was enjoying a glass of wine on the porch, while another was exploring the interior of this fantastic Victorian mansion. Service and ambience were both amazing thoughout -- this is truly a unique dining experience. We had the langoustine cakes and the soup of the day, both great starts bursting with flavor and texture. We had the hangar steak and pork chop for entrees, paired with a well structured Zinfandel. The pork chop was particularly outstanding, owing both to the quality of the ingredient and expert preparation, paired with just-sweet enough parsnip puree, rainbow carrots, blistered grapes, and carmelized onion. The hangar steak was impeccably presented, cooked to temperature, and most important, a very delicious cut of well aged beef. For dessert we had a lemon-lavender mousse bombe, again as well presented as it was delicious. The tart lemon pop rocks on top were tge perfect touch and sheer nostalgic pleasure. We finished our evening with a self tour of the mansion, and carried home half of our amply portioned meals to enjoy as leftovers. Lafayette's best kept secret. Meals as memorable as the historic setting.

Five stars for the friendly, enthusiastic, helpful employees. The best thing about this hotel…read more Unfortunately, besides the employees there is little to recommend about this place. Although my room is nice, other areas of the hotel need to be renovated. There is a musty smell throughout, plus a strong smell of some kind of air freshener. If your room happens to be on the interstate side it is quite noisy. Just a stone's throw from I-65 where semi trucks rumble past both day and night. The front desk employee was extremely friendly and offered extensive area information to the guest who checked in just in front of me. She actually has created a handwritten list of all area restaurants. An employee who truly cares about the hotel guests. Definitely not my first choice of accommodations but sometimes other area hotels are booked up.

My in laws had a room and we were all hanging out there Friday night. We went to get the pull out couch ready for my young kids to sleep on and were lucky to find some items before our kids did. We found an bottle with pink capsules and baggie of white powder along with a bag with a box of bullets, 2 needles, and a balloon full of something hard. We collected everything called the cops to collect. My in laws packed their things and moved to our room. Once the police were notified the front desk was alerted and they moved my in laws to another room. Despite our complaints of the room not being thoroughly cleaned and inspected, they were reimbursed only half of their payment for the room. We also never received a receipt upon check out. Overall a well named facility had not provided the safety and comfort I was looking forward to.

The only reason I gave 4 stars is they haven't modernized and added USB port ports but luckily I had brought my USB wall plug. WiFi was fast and consistent. I'll definitely stay again.
