We love the Lafayatte so much and can’t wait to go back. We had drinks in the lobby bar, ate at Quixote - 5 stars - went to the live show at Lou Lou’s - 5 stars and spent about 15 minutes in the Gutter Bar. The decor is unbelievable and the attention to detail really knocked our socks off. I do however wish they staffed both the lobby and gutter bars more adequately and with bartenders that treat the clients better We were there on a Thursday evening and all bars were overrun. I would never attempt going there on a weekend. Definitely better service at Lou Lou’s than the other bars. Especially at the Gutter we were treated not as welll as we would like and left to spend money across the street after one round. I get that they are busy but we were patient and then so turned off by the attitudes there. Lobby bar also could use some help. Front desk, valet and restaurant staff were amazing enough as to almost let me forget about the gutter. So we will be back for a staycation but we will skip the gutter.

This was our first time staying at Lafayette Hotel and it was amazing! We received great service from our arrival to our departure. We also had the best sleep we’ve ever had at a hotel in their super comfortable beds. The ambience and decor is next level and creates such a fun atmosphere. I really appreciate their attention to detail in the interior design and room amenities. We will absolutely be back!

Hotel is clean and friendly service . Just keep in mind its a party hotel. Best not to bring children. The bars are out of control. No structure or lines. Make your way to the front and yell order. Second night waited for 45 minutes, and reached the counter just so the bar tender to inform me that he is closing on his side. Would be better if they had some kind of system so i could spend money there and not go to the liquor store down the street.

This place really takes you back. My wife and I really enjoyed this hotel and their live music they have in their basement bar!! I wished we would’ve took advantage of the pool. We really appreciated this hotel and what it has to offer. Definitely going to keep my eye on this hotel and cross my finger for a low price room xD

Staying the night here feels like sleeping at a pawn shop / thrift store. The rooms are cluttered, junky and full of ugly worn out stuff. Also, don’t plan on getting any sleep as it’s crazy loud… even though they provide ear plugs. The service is horrible- valet, check in, bartenders- none are helpful or interested in providing service. Skip this place or just have a drink here and move on!

The Lafayette is an eclectic and gorgeously-decorated hotel! The staff were wonderful throughout our stay. I was surprised to discover the rooms do not have several hotel amenities that I find fairly standard, like safes, luggage racks or benches, and tissues. This is a party hotel, and music and conversations from rooms next door/above/below are very audible until about 5am nightly. The property has a ton of stairs and several sections/room types do not have elevator access, so we did have accessibility issues throughout our stay.

This is one of the coolest hotels I’ve ever stayed at. The fact that you can be entertained without needing to leave the hotel the whole day is really a special touch. Every detail is curated to perfection, all the way down to beautiful paper in the room with your name printed onto it. All the staff members were friendly and accommodating. I highly HIGHLY recommend this as a place to stay on your visit in San Diego!

This hotel is incredible! From the moment you enter, you realize this is not your typical hotel stay. Every section of the hotel is unique and vibey. From the gorgeous pool, to the mexican church designed restaurant, the 24/7 old school diner, elevated game room with cocktails and bowling, and of course the amazing lobby bar. My wife and I had an amazing time and could not stop chatting about how amazing the Lafayette is. The rooms feature full min-bars unlike anything I have ever seen in a hotel before. The beds were so comfy. Bonus tip: Book a room poolside! We will be back!

This property is BEAUTIFUL. The Lobby Bar is amazing, the pool is a gem, and the rooms are chic yet functional. The staff goes above and beyond to make all the guest feel welcomed. We stayed on a Saturday night, so the hotel and bars do get pretty busy. Highly recommend if you’re into the nightlife scene, or if you need a great place to lounge poolside. 13/10. Definitely returning for another stay.

Amazing property from poolside balcony to the inside lobby and Atrium the ambience was very hip. The Quexote restaurant and Gutters both special gems. Room had a nice vibe too bohemian meets art nuevoe. The lighting in the closet area just before the bathroom was way too dim. Get a higher watt bulb with a dimmer. You really crushed it w the remodel. 5 stars
