The Lafayette is an eclectic and gorgeously-decorated hotel! The staff were wonderful throughout our stay. I was surprised to discover the rooms do not have several hotel amenities that I find fairly standard, like safes, luggage racks or benches, and tissues. This is a party hotel, and music and conversations from rooms next door/above/below are very audible until about 5am nightly. The property has a ton of stairs and several sections/room types do not have elevator access, so we did have accessibility issues throughout our stay.

This is one of the coolest hotels I’ve ever stayed at. The fact that you can be entertained without needing to leave the hotel the whole day is really a special touch. Every detail is curated to perfection, all the way down to beautiful paper in the room with your name printed onto it. All the staff members were friendly and accommodating. I highly HIGHLY recommend this as a place to stay on your visit in San Diego!

This hotel is incredible! From the moment you enter, you realize this is not your typical hotel stay. Every section of the hotel is unique and vibey. From the gorgeous pool, to the mexican church designed restaurant, the 24/7 old school diner, elevated game room with cocktails and bowling, and of course the amazing lobby bar. My wife and I had an amazing time and could not stop chatting about how amazing the Lafayette is. The rooms feature full min-bars unlike anything I have ever seen in a hotel before. The beds were so comfy. Bonus tip: Book a room poolside! We will be back!

This property is BEAUTIFUL. The Lobby Bar is amazing, the pool is a gem, and the rooms are chic yet functional. The staff goes above and beyond to make all the guest feel welcomed. We stayed on a Saturday night, so the hotel and bars do get pretty busy. Highly recommend if you’re into the nightlife scene, or if you need a great place to lounge poolside. 13/10. Definitely returning for another stay.
