Beautiful decorated hotel, tons of amenities. Wish it was not so hard to find a chair by the pool but other than that our room was away from the main pool area and it was quiet and relaxing at night. Room was lovely, bathroom was a bit small. Overall, was a great experience.

I came to San Diego specifically to stay at the Lafayette. My dad worked at this hotel when it first opened in 1946, and visiting there has been a goal of mine for many years. I was very impressed. It was beautiful and I love the art deco theme throughout. The staff was awesome and made me feel so at home. I felt so close to my dad. It was a very emotional trip. Thank you to all for making my stay so special.
