Beautiful hotel with restaurants, pool, bars, jazz club, bowling alley, (w/ pool tables, some arcade games), 24hr diner, and lots more. Like an adult playground in the middle of the city all in one spot! And it’s pet-friendly!

We had a wonderful stay at the Lafayette Hotel! The staff was incredibly friendly and welcomed us in such a kind way for our 10th Anniversary. The pool area is excellent and we enjoyed our room with the view of the pool. Thank you for a great stay! 🎉

terrible service security sucks the bartenders. I have no idea what they’re doing. Terrible selection on DJs overall just an overrated spot in San Diego checked it out after all the TikTok‘s but this spot is trash and I’m writing this after I went for the first time like two years ago, but after my last experience trash, honestly best way to explain it is just complete trash terrible staff terrible

An absolutely amazing hotel! We didn't stay here but we had a great time bar-hopping though its many bar locations. The hotel has several different rooms and themes and there's something for everyone. VERY Instgrammable visuals and extremely well done aesthetics. This hotel is a favorite of the ladies for this and for the dark and sexy vibe. Make it a point to see all of the different bars, they are all impressive and much different than each other.
