My sister and I loved everything and everyone at this place during our 3 day spring getaway. Thank you all for making our trip memorable. We will definitely be back. Shout out to Vinny, Dean, and Keivon. The concierge with the bright smile and tall frame was also a delight. See ya soon! 💫

Property is beautiful. An old vintage, old money fashion with that touch of French you would expect with a name like “Lafayette”. Staff is super friendly and informative. You get a concierge line you can text for anything you may need during your stay. There is only vallet parking. But they are excellent with taking care of your vehicle. They don’t offer any shuttles services though but it’s about 20 mins ride from the San Diego international airport. The pool is fabulous and well kept. I stayed over the weekend and it doubles as a public space for people to come enjoy the bowling alley, restaurants (2) attached to it. There’s 4 bars in the hotel so that brings a lot of people too. It can get crowded because of that. However if you show your room key when returning from your day out, you’ll skip any line there might be of people trying to get it for the bars. Bathrooms come with a hair dryer, hand soap, lotion, shampoo, conditioner and body wash. There is a steamer you get in your room to use for your clothes. They work with you if you need to do a later checkout and will even hold your bags before you check in and after you check out, if you need to kill some time before your flight or to check in. They do offer a gym with free weights, row machine and treadmills/bikes. Highly recommend staying here.

Honestly- this hotel is STUNNING. Architecturally, it is designed so well and so thoughtfully. The location it is in, though, is pretty sketchy. There are not many things to do in the area, and it is a distance from popular places in San Diego. As for the bars, the cocktails are delicious, however, the bar was out of stock of two types of drinks on the specials menu. In addition, there were only two bartenders serving a ton of patrons, making service slow. In addition, at reception, two concierges are working to check people in with SO many people in line. I understand this place has gone viral online, and I also visited during the holiday season, however, management should have planned accordingly. Ultimately, I will come back, but definitely NOT during the holiday season.

very cute hotel, staff is extremely friendly and helpful! love that they have valet parking however must be a San Diego thing that it’s hard to find parking on ur own. Also i really wish the room had better lighting right outside the restroom to do your make up… practically doing make up in the dark. Also wish there was a full body mirror… other than that hotel was great! We were by pool so there’s music playing for long hours but they provide you with ear plugs so that’s cool.

Loved it!

From check in to check out the staff was so kind and helpful. The cocktails and food were awesome and they were so accommodating to any dietary restrictions. The rooms are large and beautiful. No detail was spared throughout the entire hotel. My only dislike was a rain shower head but I know I’m in the minority however, the water pressure was great! I visited with my husband and 13 yo son and everyone loved it. I look forward to going back!

Historic gem gets a chic update

This place is beautiful. So vibrant and fun. The bowling alley/bar was amazing. The pool is mezmerizing. It's bones are old, so the walls are thin. Earplugs are already in the room. The only room for improvement is the pillows which didn't have any body, but that's a small complaint. Big picture is this place is awesome and so worth checking out.
