    The Patty Melt is a true work of art. Attention to detail from the fries to the buttered toasted bread. Fun ambience with great decor and a very social environment . Service on point, professional service for sure. It's my new favorite place.

    Love the new decor and cocktails. We stayed here years ago - - it's a shame they re-located the piano bar/ restaurant that was in the corner. I don't remember the name. Bar looks great though and our waitress was lovely. Ordered some tiki drinks and they met my expectations. I'll be back!

    Wow! Wow! Excellent stay! First timers and we will be back! It was my 34th wedding anniversary and we played! Indulged in drinks and dinner with friends. Our room and pool view were amazing! The charm and comfort of our room was exceptional! Excellent excellent service and experience!!!! I was so amazed with the history of the hotel. Just a gem right here in San Diego. From the moment you are greeted at valet you realize this is going to be an experience you will remember forever.

    The Lafayette Hotel - 5 Stars Love, love, love, love, love! This hotel! The Lafayette Hotel is honestly the coolest place I've ever been to, and I've been to a lot. It's one of those places that truly has it all. The fact that they have an amazing Oaxacan restaurant, a bowling alley, and Jazz Club all within the hotel is just mind-blowing! No one else in Southern California, or maybe even the entire West Coast, has managed to create something this unique and comprehensive. Maybe you'd find something similar in Miami or New York, but honestly, Lafayette has set the bar incredibly high for me. If you're looking to visit a top-tier destination, this is the place to be.
