Loud, festive, little service
Not a service hotel. We stayed on two different occasions with very similar experiences. Menus on chaise loungers at pool but no one ever comes around to take an order. In the morning, the chaise side tables are dirty with hair and cocktail residue while you’re trying to enjoy your morning coffee. Don’t expect an early check-in. The rooms overlooking the pool are great but very loud on Friday/Saturday nights. Consider a room off the pool for more privacy/quiet. The music on the property never changes from club music (even in the morning). How about a little Billie Holliday vibe once in a while? Overall hotel has a McMennamin’s vibe which we like. Good cocktails in the Mexican restaurant.

We had a fabulous family vacation for Christmas here! We had an issue with the tv, and the staff moved us to a new room with more room right near the pool. We couldn’t have asked for anything better. Would definitely stay there again. The restaurants were 10/10 and so was club Lou Lou!

It was very difficult to find parking, the valet parking was the only option. Then clubbing and restaurants were really short-staffed, though they are all very nice. The hotel itself looked great, although the noise level is out of hand.

Lafayette in San Diego, and as a South Park resident, I’ve been here before the renovations. I was amazed at how stunning the hotel looks now. The blend of historic charm with modern luxury is incredible, and the rooms are stylish and comfortable. The location is perfect for exploring downtown, and the staff was friendly and welcoming. It's like rediscovering a hidden gem right in my backyard, and I’ll definitely be back!

This hotel is stunning. But, they care more about the people coming into the hotel for the amenities rather than the guests in the hotel. They do not clean the rooms, their “front desk” phone is always busy so there is no way to get new towels or other necessities for the room and the jazz bar was booked out both nights I was there for a “private event” which inhibited us from even seeing the area (this was what I was most excited to see during our stay).

Super cute and fun. Great adult entertainment (bars, nightclub, music) and excellent food on the grounds. Right in the middle of downtown San Diego (about 2 miles from Balboa Park and the Zoo). The shower and the bed are max comfort!

The hotel was unique and festive with a great Christmas vibe which attracted lots of people. That wasn’t the problem, the place was completely understaffed and as a result, bartender was overwhelmed. Drinks took over 30 minutes, host at diner was RUDE. They definitely had a problem addressing the needs of guests. Perhaps they were woefully underprepared but I heard this complaint from most of the guests.
