The hotel that I actually really wanted to stay at even though I am semi local. It lived up to the hype it was so beautiful and fun. Service was great we got a room upgrade for my birthday which was so amazing. You do have to pay for parking but it was cheaper ($38) than hotels in LA that charge $50. You can easily walk to local spots but you have food options and entertainment options at the hotel so you definitely don't have to leave the hotel if you dont want.

Similar to The Madonna Inn but 2.0, this whimsical getaway is a mix of Soho House charm and Wes Anderson magic. The entire stay, starting from the personalized texting before you even arrive - to the tiny customized trinkets (letterhead or bright pink plastic water cups) made you feel lush and at home. The warmth of the staff is unforgettable too, from the 24-hr diner waiters to the latte-making concierge desk. Coming up from L.A. for a night and day stay, this was the most charming and darling, hospitable hotel I have visited. Definitely in my top favorite spots I have stayed at. Don’t change!

Another great stay at the Lafayette! Great location in North Park, amazing ambiance, and friendly, professional staff. I booked a oolside king, what could be better? Also memorable, breakfast at Beginners Diner and bowling at the Gutter. Please note, this is a very happening scene for young people, and the music is loud around the pool area especially on the weekend. Not your feng shui crystal toting retreat center.

I stay at the Lafayette any time I am in San Diego and have sent friends local and afar there. Can not recommend highly enough. Either for a night out, amazing and incomparable meal, or coffee or cocktail you want to see and be at the Lafayette! The level of care by staff, attention to detail in design and hospitality, and master craftsmanship displayed by the whole team is incomparable. We were especially impressed with Amelia, Aylea and Michelle and frankly every single staff member at every property venue. And yes, we hit them all - bowling alley to pool bar to nightclub to diner to Quixote. Book it!!!

We had such a wonderful stay at The Lafayette Hotel in San Diego! From the very moment we pulled up to valet, the service was amazing and welcoming. Every single staff member we encountered was friendly, professional, and made us feel right at home. The hotel itself has such a fun, lively atmosphere — you can feel the energy as soon as you walk in. We also had the chance to dine at Quixote’s Restaurant, which was absolutely delicious, and spent some time at the main bar where we had a blast. Overall, our stay was nothing short of excellent. Great service, great food, and unforgettable vibes. We can’t wait to return!

Incredibly attentive staff who were genuinely helpful and sweet. The rooms were ornate and everything had a purpose, on top of that the mini bar was not only beautiful to look at but priced very fairly. Their amenities there such as Lous Lous jazz club and the Diner and Quixote were so much fun. In the best way it all felt like a fever dream. Made such a fun birthday weekend.

My wife and I came here to celebrate our 15th anniversary and get a break from our daily craziness. Our time here didn't disappoint. We enjoyed the vibes by the pool, ate at Quixote twice (second time in the dark red room), enjoyed the live jazz at Lou Lou's and chilled at The Gutter. Being able to celebrate and relax in such a creative filled getaway really made our time here special. Special shout out to Lynnea for your quick help at the front desk! We'll be back
