Great for solo travelers as there's a lot to do at the Hotel! Would definitely recommend spending time at the pool and at all the bars as well as the diner. Also went to the bowling alley there and had a blast.
Stayed here for my birthday staff was very kind and helpful. Also had dinner at quixote the food was decent staff was amazing and went above and beyond.The gutter was a cute place to take pictures staff was amazing there as well.Room was clean and had a bar
We love the La Fayette and this was our second time there. The property is gorgeous and unique, and so are the rooms. So many things to do and see ee, and the restaurants/bars are so wonderful to spend time in. Highly recommend.
Staff was excellent bars were excellent. Breakfast was excellent. whole vibe just extraordinary with the decor. Excellent vibes going on at this place. Highly recommended Friday Saturday night spending the whole day at the pool both days. I know San Diego has a lot to offer, but don’t miss out on this hotel on the weekends. Lots of fun Beautiful highly recommend going in the jazz bar when there’s a venue it’s like out of the movies.
Property was amazing, however the pool was always very crowded and you have to reserve sun beds in advance, they were all taken the 3 days we were there. Otherwise everything was great
Very helpful and attentive staff! My only complaint was that there wa solid construction going on outside that woke us up very early. I’m not counting it against the hotel since it’s out of there control but a heads up would’ve been nice. Awesome stay! Would recommend to any friend group or couple.
Love love love. Took my husband here for his birthday. Had the best time. So cute. So yummy. Great staff. Great facilities. Would love to be able to come again!
The room was so cutesy and clean! The staff was very sweet and helpful. Valet was great. Went here for a girls night and will definitely be going back!
Always a great stay. The vibes are immaculate and the staff is always very efficient and nice. We love coming here!

The hotel has a funky smell and you can hear everything that’s going on outside and next door rooms. The place is beautiful and the staff is really good but the rooms are very small and the pool was really dirty
Super unique hotel and decor mostly frequented by a very young and trendy clientele. While this is great it’s not for everyone. I found it great overall as it was a really unusual mix of bars, a pool a good restaurant and felt alive and youthful compared to most stale hotels and I’m over 60 years old! My room was lovely and like a 1950’s style which I loved - it had a crazy well stocked bar - I mean crazy like 50 different drinks! The corridors are a little worn but overall ok. I’d recommend if you are not really fussy and open minded and like something different compared to stuffy no personality hotels.
This was a magical stay. We have two small dogs, and it was a pet-friendly hotel, not just by lip service but in practice. Everyone was wonderful, and we didn't want to leave.
Breakfast at the diner was sooo good! Easy walk to local brewery. Cool vibe at the pool and game room. Room was comfortable and very unique
Worth the price!
