Infestation at the Pool

The rooms are so neat and the hotel itself is awesome. This place used to be so fun and classy but it’s definitely gone south. They allow anyone from the street to come in with coolers and stake out all of the pool chairs. I was with my girlfriend and my daughter and we didn’t get to enjoy the pool either day of our stay because there wasn’t an inch to sit, not even on the concrete surrounding the pool. The hotel used to implement a wristband policy which was nice because the people spending $600 a night to stay there could actually use the pool. My friend spoke to the manager about the amount of people there that weren’t guests who were camped out, his response was “we’re doing our best.” If it means anything to you there’s no room service or ice machines but those things are easy to look past.

This hotel is geared to guests who want to party and not to tourists who want a quieter time. I knew the hotel had a ‘pool scene’ but I probably should have done my research to find out that tickets are sold to non guests to access the pool from 10am. At the weekend it’s rammed. This means if you check in on a Saturday you won’t get to your room till 4pm and there is no space by the pool. The partying goes on till around midnight on Saturday (they do provide ear plugs). As other reviews say the decor of the hotel is fabulous and the beds are comfy, the food is good and the service at the diner excellent. However they do not service the room and even when we asked they just replaced towels but not the water or the used coffee cups. Not a big deal except we’d paid over $500 pn. We requested a late check out for our last day so we could enjoy the pool as it was quieter on Monday morning, and even though their website says they will give these, we had to push hard to an extra hour. If you are staying Mon-Thurs the pool is lovely and the hotel scene is not overwhelming. But do not stay here at the weekend unless you are there to party. Expedia should make this clear in the description.

The Lafayette Hotel in San Diego is an absolute gem! From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the beautiful amenities and attention to detail. Everything you could possibly want is right on site—an amazing bar, a gorgeous pool with its own pool bar, a fantastic restaurant, a fun arcade, a well-equipped gym, and even a 24-hour diner. The 24-hour coffee was a lifesaver (and delicious!). Every corner of this hotel is thoughtfully designed and simply stunning. My best friend and I had such a beautiful trip here. It was truly an unforgettable experience that will stay with us forever. We can’t wait to come back!
