Amazing property. Have stayed before and will be back because everything here is always perfect. The hotel smells amazing. The hotel bar is top notch and the attached restaurants/bars are really great too and offer amazing food. My favorites are the boozy milkshakes at the 24 hr diner in the lobby and anything from Xijote. Not to mention all the shampoos, soap, etc. is Diptyque branded which is so luxurious! Lafayette is on the forefront of San Diego staying classy!
