Amazing property. Have stayed before and will be back because everything here is always perfect. The hotel smells amazing. The hotel bar is top notch and the attached restaurants/bars are really great too and offer amazing food. My favorites are the boozy milkshakes at the 24 hr diner in the lobby and anything from Xijote. Not to mention all the shampoos, soap, etc. is Diptyque branded which is so luxurious! Lafayette is on the forefront of San Diego staying classy!

I travel a lot around the world, and I always look for something that’s not ordinary, but this hotel is truly something else. From the moment you walk in, you can feel it’s special, the design is stunning, vintage but stylish, the service was warm and genuine, the front desk girl was so kind and helpful. The hotel has two bars, a Mexican restaurant, and a diner, everything was perfect, the drinks were amazing, and what’s cool is that each bar has its own vibe, you don’t even feel like it’s part of the same place. The room was beautiful, every detail was thought out, the in-room cocktail bar, the branded touches, the lighting, everything felt warm and well designed. Honestly, this hotel is on another level.
