Lafayette nails it with esthetics and fails at hospitality. They have become a party hotel where the place is packed out by people not staying there which makes it challenging for paying guests to eat at the restaurants or get drinks at the bar. 1am at the diner was an hour wait, most of the staff was rude or dismissive. Super disappointing for the price you pay.

VERY HONEST REVIEW: 1. Safety: the area around the hotel is nice. On busy nights there, you have to show your room key to enter. However, during the day, and slower (normal) nights, no one checked if we stayed there, and you can easily enter the hotel AND go up the stairs to the rooms WITHOUT a room key. 2. Noise: I could hear every single conversation, door close and bathroom use. On Friday and Saturday night, we had people BLASTING music at 12-1:30am. We did alert the front desk concierge via text who responded swiftly stating they would look into it. Unsure if they did, as they continued to blast music. The hotel does provide earplugs 3. Hotel room: we got the larger standard queen bedroom, which was still incredibly small. It also felt less spacious with the bar taking up nearly 1/3 of the room. It looks great and its convenient but would rather pay for the space to actually use it than a bar. The bathroom was very poorly lit, no fan to get rid of the moisture after taking a shower (water pressure was fantastic). The bed was TERRIBLE. I was so uncomfortable on my final night (we stayed 3), that I had to put one of the long (flimsy and very thin) pillows between me and the bed for extra cushion. I could feel the springs digging into my upper back and hips. You are paying for the vibe, not the comfort or safety. Choose wisely.

I loved this hotel! Occupying an entire block, it's an oasis of elegance and over-the-top creative, eccentric decor, with a beautiful pool and lots to do, including great live music. The wonderful staff is warm and welcoming. (It was great to have great espresso available at the front desk, instead of having to hunt all over town in the morning.) As I was there to visit family, the room was not that important, so I got the petite king. While the bed was really comfortable, the bathroom had a fun light but was too dark for putting on makeup (iPhone!) and the room location was - for that price - frankly awful. The window looked out on intersecting hallways and a staircase, so the blinds were kept drawn. It felt pretty claustrophobic by the second night. I'll get a balcony next time! But you'd want to be out in the many common areas, and several secluded areas with a fountain and fireplace. (Balboa Park is not far, and well worth cycling to.)

I truly enjoyed the property, rooms and decor. I felt as a guest however, that the folks wandering in off the street took precedent to the guests who've paid a fair amount to stay there. Whether it be reservations/access at restaurants or bars, etc. it just felt the hotel is an afterthought. Otherwise, great place, great history and a good stay.

We went to the Lafayette for a one night holiday staycation during the Christmas holidays. The hotel's decorations for the holidays were magnificent! Unfortunately it was something that was quite well known so on the night of our particular stay – which was on a Monday – it was packed! As we had a room it was nice to escape a little on the madness and then come back to join the frivolity that was evident in all the bars and restaurants in this unique property. The staff did as well as they could but they were clearly overwhelmed. In talking to some of them, it was quite clear that the crowds had been like that for over a month and they were All over it. Whatever the case, I thought that they were generally professional and courteous despite being outmatched. My room was nice, cool, hip and eclectic which fit the general overall vibe of the hotel. It’s not the quietest hotel but that was expected. I should probably note that I was told by both staff and some guest that we met that when the supper club, Lou Lou’s, is open that the rooms in the main part of the hotel where it is located can be pretty loud until the supper club closes. I will be back. :)

Amazing, funky and fun. The food and beverage were good. Staff friendly and well trained. The housekeeping was strange- you had to ask for it. Lighting in the room is poor, the shower handle is beyond the shower head so you get cold water before you can activate the shower. No face cloths or tissues. But despite those shortcomings we had fun.
