Our stay in Lafayette, San Diego
The hotel looks amazing. We hadn’t appreciated the music would be so loud all day and by the hotel rooms but realise that comes with the territory. As paying residents it didn’t feel like there was any differentiation to general visitors eg beds by the pool or access to service at the bar. Amazing in room mini bar but no maid service. Loved the games room but get in there early otherwise you won’t get to play anything. Sunday definitely seems a quieter day. Restaurant was nice but super noisy. We had fun - good for a one time visit. We were there Friday and Saturday and suspect it will be quieter mid week.

The property is unique and has so many amazing details that make it stand out. This is a party spot. If you are a light sleeper you should request a room towards the back of the property. We had to request a room reassignment after the first night which the staff accommodated and offered us free drinks from the coffee bar for the inconvenience. The only other bummer was that they mentioned the pool was heated year round and it definitely was not.

Arrived at hotel only to be told there was no elevator for the second floor. I’m unable to climb stairs. Staff have no knowledge of customer service. Never stayed. Never will stay. Was given refund and forced to find alternative accommodation

This was like Disneyland for adults! What a unique and delightful place. What I didn’t like was no housekeeping service other than exchanging used towels for new ones; no dresser to put our things in; no refilling of water. Everything else was just great and we would come back again

If You’re Looking to Par-tay…
Unique, swanky little place! If you’re looking for a party, this is the spot. The decor is fantastic and all the little quirks like the diner and bowling alley really make this place one of a kind. Service, food, and cocktails were good. I want to reiterate that this is a party spot. The music is loud, the crowds around the pool and out and about the hotel are loud, and it goes all night. If you’re looking for a chill, low key, quiet night’s sleep, this is not the place. And get a sitter for the kiddos, this is not the place for kids.

The Lafayette is worth the experience! Loved the intention. Every detail went back to the story/ies of the rich history of the Lafayette. Staff was happy to be there and that speaks volume to the intention. Thank you to all the staff during our stay we definitely be back.

Designer Maximalist Dream Hotel
My husband and I stayed a Friday night at The Lafayette and we were in awe of its beauty, design, thoughtfulness in every detail and how it felt like a mini resort. The property is huge and offers a little bit or everything. You might be able to catch live entertainment at Lou Lous in the basement, dinner at Quioxte, a drink by the pool or at its multiple bars, or grab a late night bite at their diner that’s open 24/7. Did I mention enjoying some games at the Gutter bar? The rooms are so dark, cozy and comfortable. I personally loved the mini not so mini bar. Service was decent. Not over the top nice, just to the point and willing to help if asked. We did meet the manager on site in passing who was super sweet and told us where to explore! Get lost on this property, you won’t regret it. Disclaimer: If you’re staying Friday or Saturday, this hotel gets crazy busy at night as it appears to be a local destination probably for all their bars or food options. Also, the walls aren’t super thick - and we were next to a bunch of party groups who were loud at the wee hours of the morning. They provide ear plugs - you’ve been warned.
