“A Throwback to Hospitality Done Right”

I rarely write reviews, but this place earned one. Early in my career, I worked at a five-star resort, and it permanently raised my expectations for hospitality. I've learned that truly exceptional customer service is rare. Too often today, you get indifferent interactions, blank stares, and employees who seem bothered by genuine questions. It can feel like the guest experience has become an afterthought. Not at The Lafayette. From the moment we arrived, it felt like stepping back to a time when hotels genuinely cared about creating memorable experiences. Every interaction was warm, welcoming, and authentic. It reminded me that outstanding hospitality still exists and that, yes, we can have nice things again. A special shout-out to the incredible pool staff. Maggie is an absolute doll—friendly, attentive, and genuinely delightful. Jeremy has one of those contagious smiles that instantly makes you feel welcome, and he went out of his way to be accommodating throughout our stay. They're exactly the kind of people who elevate a great hotel into an unforgettable one. The rooms are beautiful, the atmosphere is unlike anywhere else in San Diego, and every member of the staff we encountered was genuinely kind and eager to help. In an industry where exceptional service has become increasingly rare, The Lafayette proves it doesn't have to be. We can't wait to come back. I am happy to say that hospitality isn't dead, it just moved to The Lafayette. :-)

My partner and I had the most amazing time celebrating her birthday at The Lafayette Hotel this past weekend. The hotel itself is absolutely breathtaking, and our room was stunning. The staff went above and beyond to make our stay extra special, surprising us with thoughtful touches that made the celebration even more memorable. We spent a wonderful afternoon relaxing by the pool and exploring the beautiful hotel grounds. The food and drinks were excellent, and every part of the experience exceeded our expectations. Overall, we had an incredible stay and created memories we'll never forget. We loved it so much that I plan to come back every year to celebrate her birthday. Thank you to everyone at The Lafayette for making our weekend so special!
