I travel a lot around the world, and I always look for something that’s not ordinary, but this hotel is truly something else. From the moment you walk in, you can feel it’s special, the design is stunning, vintage but stylish, the service was warm and genuine, the front desk girl was so kind and helpful. The hotel has two bars, a Mexican restaurant, and a diner, everything was perfect, the drinks were amazing, and what’s cool is that each bar has its own vibe, you don’t even feel like it’s part of the same place. The room was beautiful, every detail was thought out, the in-room cocktail bar, the branded touches, the lighting, everything felt warm and well designed. Honestly, this hotel is on another level.

Had a nice stay. If you want a seat at the pool get there early, first come first served and people hog seats with towels entire day to only use it an hour or two. Hotel shouldnt allow that as there’s limited seating. The attached Mexican restaurant is “fancy” Mexican, not that great in our opinion. Attached diner was good. Drinks decent but weak alcohol content and expensive. It’s definitely a party location, there were five bachelorette parties there the weekend we went. Parking pricey too as valet only. We enjoyed our stay but it’s a little pricey for what you get. The surrounding area is horrible! A happy ending massage parlor a few doors down, and lots of homeless around too. Probably will not return but worth a visit once.

I came to San Diego specifically to stay at the Lafayette. My dad worked at this hotel when it first opened in 1946, and visiting there has been a goal of mine for many years. I was very impressed. It was beautiful and I love the art deco theme throughout. The staff was awesome and made me feel so at home. I felt so close to my dad. It was a very emotional trip. Thank you to all for making my stay so special.

Beautiful decorated hotel, tons of amenities. Wish it was not so hard to find a chair by the pool but other than that our room was away from the main pool area and it was quiet and relaxing at night. Room was lovely, bathroom was a bit small. Overall, was a great experience.
