The Lafayette Hotel is one of my new favorite hotels! It was so incredibly decorated for the holiday season. Absolutely spectacular! It was busy and filled with guests around Christmas. Very lively! So much to do there and it's a lot of fun! It's the perfect getaway whether you are visitIng from out of town or a local here in San Diego.

Came here this weekend with my girls for a girls trip, upon first arrival the hotel was so cute decorated for Christmas, lots of cute patterns everywhere very maximalist in the best way. There was great customer service at the concierge, walking into the hotel room it was nicely
decorated, updated and had everything you needed on the bar. Overall all the amenities at the hotel the restaurants were good, the Bar was super fun, the pool was beautiful vintage look and the Club was also super cute and decorated, but i think the DJ was having a bad night bc her music was okay..
