"Stayed here for a work conference and stayed a few extra days for vacation with my family. Lovely property and walking distance to the convention center and Gaslamp District. This is my 3rd time here and will definitely be back!"

"It’s my first time in San Diego and I am so glad I chose this hotel! The staff here are amazing and helpful! My luggage was delayed but the staff here helped receive it. They are kind and warm. Will recommend to friends!"

"I love the amenities of The Lafayette such as the Lobby Bar, Diner, the pool and the room decor is so fun. However, it’s not the best hotel if you want to get a good night’s sleep. Since many of the guests are partying in the hotel, there is noise going on well after 2 A.M. On my floor, there were doors slamming every 5 minutes and the vents in the bathroom were oddly projecting loud conversations from people in other rooms. Definitely the worst hotel experience I’ve had in terms of noise from the surrounding rooms. I got absolutely no sleep, which was a bummer. I wish the hotel had designated quiet hours for people to follow. If you’re okay with the noise, it’s an amazing hotel!"

"Always a great stay at the Sophia"

"Second visit here and it gets better each time. "

"A good budget option for a pricey city. Hotel was perfect location, right in Mission Valley; 10 minutes to the zoo, 10 ish to the beach, 10 to Seaworld. It had a nice pool and hot tub. Staff was extremely helpful. The check-in computors weren't working right so I got a text to register the night before and then check in was very quick and easy. I booked a room with a kitchenette, perfect for someone who doesn't want to eat out every meal. The room did have a smell to it, kind of chemically, like they were trying to mask something. It wasn't bad but noticeable and when I tried to open the door and window to air it out the traffic noise was too much. Also one day they were deep cleaning the carpets below me with a special van and that noice was crazy loud even with the door shut. I was disapointed they charged for parking. Seriously, its a big lot in a low traffic area. How can that cost $50? If I was thinking ahead I would have parked on the street and saved myself some money. I would stay again and I would recommend to anyone wanting an affordable hotel in an expensive city."

"Great stay!"
