Great Honeymoon Spot
Absolutely loved our stay at The Lafayette! It was a quick little honeymoon trip for my new husband and I, and it was worth the money. We will definitely stay longer next time.

Fun hotel, super vibe!
Great stay, wonderful vibe. Only critique is that they are kind of short staffed and cannot make up rooms every day. This seems common in Southern California these days, maybe other place too.

A luxurious experience!
Super cute and fun. Great adult entertainment (bars, nightclub, music) and excellent food on the grounds. Right in the middle of downtown San Diego (about 2 miles from Balboa Park and the Zoo). The shower and the bed are max comfort!

Neat location and ambience, but bad service
The service is really bad. It is impossible to get the attention of staff if you need something, like shampoo refilled in your room or a copy of your folio. For the price, the service should be better.

Not For Families!
No doubt this is a unique hotel!! However, NOT FOR FAMILIES!! Friday and Saturdays it becomes a night club with confused partygoers. If you are a stone liberal, not picky about sleeping with the same or opposite sex you identify with…. This is your place! Expect to wait AT LEAST 45 minutes for a drink or any food service. Avoid lower pool rooms unless you want to share your patio area with strangers being inappropriate!! Comfy beds complete with EAR PLUGS!
