A lovely stay. Staff are energetic and eager to assist. And the property is fun and lively. Don’t expect peace and quiet on weekends — the place is hopping thru early morning! I’d love to stay again.

Great renovation one thing I would change is the gate at the end of the pool. The gate slamming very loudly as people walk in and out myself and my family who where in different rooms but, by the pool didn’t get much sleep due to that gate slamming constantly.

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.
