Lafayette Hotel & Club
My favorite hotel in San Diego. Staff is always helpful, kind and professional. The rooms are comfortable, clean, eclectic and possibly the best minibar selection of top shelf products anywhere. The property invites you to discover and play and socialize. The bar and food programs are superb.
