Love this place. Everything was there! A bar for drinking, a pool for lounging, a diner for eating, and a restaurant for more eating. The place was one of a kind, and we plan on coming back.
Great bar and restaurants. Loved sitting by the fire and having coffee in the mornings. Drinks at the bar were top notch.
They should refresh the rooms without having to ask.
The decor at this hotel really stood out to me, every detail felt thoughtfully curated and beautiful. The service was exceptional, and the amenities were top-notch. I also loved the activities and games available; it they made the whole experience even more enjoyable. Honestly, everything about this place exceeded my expectations, and I would definitely come back.

Our stay at the Lafayette was really great! The staff was particularly helpful in helping us make the most of our time in San Diego. We also loved the unique design aesthetic of this place. It was very pretty inside
This hotel is one of a kind. The pool area is stunning. Restaurants are great. Hip, busy scene at the bars and restaurants, yet quiet and cozy in your stylish room. The design of everything is over the top-- it was a treat to stay here. We'll be back.
