We loved our room - the staff were great. The pool was not fun - the arguing over who saves what chairs and no room for guests staying in the hotel due to so many outside visitors was disappointing. The mexican restaurant was terrible - the diner was excellent! Also we had purchased tickets in advance for the music downstairs but did not like being told we had to go outside of the hotel and stand in line to get in so we skipped it. Maybe reserve 1-2 lounge chairs per room to avoid the madness?

This is more for adults. The hotel is unique looking, which was nice. But the pool chairs were always taken by the people who had pool side view rooms and was very disappointing. We could never find a seat until it’s was late in the day. On the weekends the lobby was full of people drinking at the bar locations. There air didn't stay cold for long. The staff however was friendly and helpful.

Horrible experience
Stay was not so good! Horrible customer service , no ice no clean towels you have to text a number for questions or find out where to get ice apparently there is no ice machine you must go to lobby where it is crowded to ask for ice, bar area that charges to use everything on it which was expected but it takes up a lot of space in rooms, no mirrors to get ready, lighting is horrible, front desk asked us as guests to move a heavy mirror that was blocked by the bar, very loud area and unable to sleep due to multiple fire alarms and screaming through the night , when asking front desk questions regarding multiple charges to two of my credit cards one without my authorization they were rude, asked about speaking to a manager multiple times and no manager has yet to contact me, I have stayed at numerous upscale hotels and this by far is one of the worst ones, I came for my birthday 4hours away and the stay was horrible from beginning to end. I do not recommend and will not recommend it to anyone in the near future .

Great Stay-cation
Our stay was excellent! It was only a one night stay-cation (we live in San Diego). Loved the decor in the hotel and room, really fun! Staff was very friendly and helpful. Great location, close to Balboa Park and the Zoo and right across the street from the Red Fox Room and Steakhouse. The Lafayette, and the Red Fox are a part of San Diego history, especially for us born and raised here, having heard the stories from our parents and grandparents. We really enjoyed getting to finally experience both places. Thank you everyone at Lafayette!

Old Hollywood Glam in every way. No notes. None. Every single detail of this hotel is perfection, including the matches which have little pictures on each match. The staff is bright, happy and friendly. I took a million photos of every detail and I'm sure I missed some. Perfect. If you stay, you need to claim your pool chair by 7am or you may be out of luck.
