Lafayette Hotel and Suites

Hotel was cool and it was in a good location, but a bit overpriced. Overall was pretty good.

We had a very nice stay at the Lafayette. We were initially struck by the great location and history behind the facility. We were so glad that there were two restaurants and a bar basically on site and had planned to dine at them. This did not come to pass however given our plans with others and the multitude of other amazing restaurants and bars that the city offers. Our room was poolside on the first floor with easy access also to the parking lot. We were VERY pleased that parking was included. The room was very plain and could stand some updating. Spartan is the word I would use to describe it. A refrigerator in the room would have been very useful. The beds were comfortable and the room was clean enough but could have been cleaner. The best aspect of the hotel was its location. Very easy access to any part of San Diego you would want to enjoy. We love Hillcrest and North Park and were only a few minutes drive to all the fun. I would definitely consider staying at the Lafayette again and would recommend it to friends.

Liked the old time hollywood vibe. Very convenient restaurant bar in hotel. Friendly staff. Short drive to everything-centrally located.

Husband and I stayed at the Lafayette 1 night on November 17, 2012 for my birthday. What a beautiful hotel!!! We parked underground in their private gated entry garage which you walk right into the lobby from your car, so close and convenient if you forget something in the car like I did. The hotel lobby was so pretty and historic. Our room was VERY clean and I loved how it was decorated. We felt like Hollywood starlets from a different era. The bed was very comfortable, I slept amazing and didn't want to leave. The bed linens and pillows were very cozy and comfy. Room temperature was perfect. There were no funky smells or any noise outside or indoors. I didn't hear a thing that would disrupt our stay. I loved the fixtures in the bathroom and everything worked like new. We have zero complaints and it was so cool to be minutes away from places to eat and drink. You can stay here and walk to get something to eat or shop. We will absolutely stay here again. We got a king bed in the manor. I've also visited an out of town friend this summer, staying in the rooms that open out onto the pool and that was a really awesome and clean room too! I definitely found the Lafayette to be a guaranteed best place to stay in this area and I look forward to staying here in the future. And ignore any old negative reviews or complaints prior to 2011, they are completely inaccurate because this hotel has undergone a 6 million dollar historical renovation in 2011. It's a beautiful and impressive stay. :)

Charming hotel. Staff was friendly and warm. The rooms and beds were a lot nicer than I expected. I was hesitant to stay here due to how inexpensive it is. I'm used to getting what I pay for, but at Lafayette, that is not the case!

Hotel has charm and history, a beautiful atrium off the lobby and all the trimmings of earlier glory days. The room (and the bed) were very comfortable. A few flaws, however. The elevator only worked for part of one of the three days we were there. The room cleaning crew seemed to stop halfway done on the second day: the bed was made, but the towels in the bathroom hadn't been touched, and there was a tattered dust rag sitting on my CPAP (breathing) device on the nightstand. Gross!

Located in a bad neighborhood, wouldn't go out at night there, doesn't feel safe. Room was tiny. Pool party too loud. Their website is deceiving as to what you really get. Staff was very helpful, although, never could use wi-fi due to too many guests on it at one time.

This was a great place for a get away and perfect for the summer time beacuse the pool open till 10pm which is awesome!!! I recomend this place plus theres a few resturants walking distance....... FREE PARKING

I enjoyed my stay here it could have been a little cleaner but alright

this is the cutest place i have ever been to. my husband and i both agreed that we will return at some point. the really paid attention to details down to the cute little sayings on their menus. it you like thing off the beaten path and your a sucker for vintage flair then this is the place for you. a bit of a young party scene going on but I did see lots of children too. very vintage while completely modern at the same time. food from restaurant was yummy. towels and bedsheets a little rough but other than that I was over the moon.
