Colonial-style mansion epitomizes elegance next to San Diego Zoo
Dating back to 1946, the Lafayette opened as a popular spot for celebrities and movie stars to socialize for nights at a time. With live music in the Red Fox Room and Piano Bar, the property still celebrates its Hollywood roots today. The Lafayette is the closest hotel to the San Diego Zoo. Guests receive free Wi-Fi and high-speed Internet access and on-site parking is also available. The on-site L Bar & Grill overlooks the hotel's Olympic-sized, Terrazzo-tile swimming pool.Lafayette Hotel and Suites Rooms

Dining
- Red Fox Steak House
- The quintessential steakhouse that doesn't just reach for the lounge vibe, it helped define it. The entire interior was shipped to the United States for blonde cinema actress, Marion Davies, and was dismantled (again!) and installed at the Lafayette during the 1950's. If the history and nightly piano doesn't get you, the stiff cocktails, steak, and seafood surely will. Hours: Monday - Thursday (11am - Midnight) Friday - Saturday (11am - 1:30am) Sunday (4pm - 1:30am)
- Imig's Kitchen & Bar
- Loved by locals and guest alike, Imig's serves up a modern, casual and honest twist on breakfast and brunch. The relaxed and open setting gives guests the perfect space to gather daily for breakfast, brunch (or both, after all you're on vacation) or a mid-day custom cocktail overlooking the historic Weissmuller Pool. Hours: Everyday (7am - 3pm)
- North Park Neighborhood Restaurants
- Quickly becoming nationally recognized for it's culinary diversity and appreciation for craft beer, the neighborhood offers Lafayette guests an incredible opportunity for food exploration. We encourage you to dine with us once (ok, maybe twice) and then experience the local cuisine within our wonderful neighborhood! Our front desk can assist with recommendations and reservations.

If you set "Motel 6" in mind, you won't be disappointed. If you expect more, you will certainly feel let down.

Classic
The Hotel was under renovation in some areas, but the overall ambiance was idyllic. It was like stepping back in time, can't wait till they get done with the upgrades. The room could use a mini refrigerator and perhaps a microwave, but overall, it was pleasant stay. Worth returning to.

Perfect loccation for our trip to the Zoo!
All of it was very enjoyable from the Customer Service to the Private Parking. The Hotel has a nice Retro Seek style in their room decor. The entire Hotel has a sort of 60's look, i loved it!

The good: Great onsite bar and resturant. Clean quiet room. Very close to MCRD for Marine Graduation. Free parking big enough for a full size 4 door truck. Very cool ethiopian resturant close by. The Bad: The room phone was dead, and never fixed. No ice machine on the 2nd floor. it was outside. No closet, hangers or hook in the room.. kind of weird. The wireless internet was so slow as to be useless.

Great independent place, great value
I loved the Lafayette. It has a great aesthetic, vintage without being kitchy, yet modern too. Great location near Balboa park, North Park. So much better than staying at at chain hotel or something overpriced. I would definitely stay here again,
