Colonial-style mansion epitomizes elegance next to San Diego Zoo
Dating back to 1946, the Lafayette opened as a popular spot for celebrities and movie stars to socialize for nights at a time. With live music in the Red Fox Room and Piano Bar, the property still celebrates its Hollywood roots today. The Lafayette is the closest hotel to the San Diego Zoo. Guests receive free Wi-Fi and high-speed Internet access and on-site parking is also available. The on-site L Bar & Grill overlooks the hotel's Olympic-sized, Terrazzo-tile swimming pool.Lafayette Hotel and Suites Rooms

Dining
- Red Fox Steak House
- The quintessential steakhouse that doesn't just reach for the lounge vibe, it helped define it. The entire interior was shipped to the United States for blonde cinema actress, Marion Davies, and was dismantled (again!) and installed at the Lafayette during the 1950's. If the history and nightly piano doesn't get you, the stiff cocktails, steak, and seafood surely will. Hours: Monday - Thursday (11am - Midnight) Friday - Saturday (11am - 1:30am) Sunday (4pm - 1:30am)
- Imig's Kitchen & Bar
- Loved by locals and guest alike, Imig's serves up a modern, casual and honest twist on breakfast and brunch. The relaxed and open setting gives guests the perfect space to gather daily for breakfast, brunch (or both, after all you're on vacation) or a mid-day custom cocktail overlooking the historic Weissmuller Pool. Hours: Everyday (7am - 3pm)
- North Park Neighborhood Restaurants
- Quickly becoming nationally recognized for it's culinary diversity and appreciation for craft beer, the neighborhood offers Lafayette guests an incredible opportunity for food exploration. We encourage you to dine with us once (ok, maybe twice) and then experience the local cuisine within our wonderful neighborhood! Our front desk can assist with recommendations and reservations.

Lafayette trying but failing
The elevator is old and small and slow. The bathroom is old and small and the water never got hot in the shower. The heater in the room did not work and the staff turned the air conditioner on instead...not too bright. The rugs look grimy. There wasn't enough fresh fruit for breakfast. The free coffee was terrible. Noisy occupants on the same floor...kids. The parking is free but thank goodness we have a small car, it's tight. The staff at the desk are young and enthusiastic. They do give you free drink tickets for the bar, nice touch...we needed them. The neighborhood is going downhill fast and the walk to Starbucks in the morning was not without some anxiety. However, the Steak House connected to the hotel is fun and noisy and the steaks and fish are excellent and reasonably priced. Lots of fun young people in the bar. Actually, younger travelers on a budget might find this OK. The pool is wonderful.

If you need something freeway close, this is it. We had to travel from La Mesa to Lindbergh Field to La Jolla, and this is the perfect central point.

Very old & outdated
Even though we stayed in a large suite room, it was smelly and the carpet and furniture was stained and old. The pool area was large and seemed ok, but the other amenities were not up to standards with regard to the price we paid. The best part was the closeness to the Zoo and Old Town but the surrounding area was kind of sleazy with a lot of strip clubs. I don't think I would recommend this hotel to family or friends.

Adequate but needs repair
It was a nice old hotel. It had a good breakfast bar and great parking facilities. The staff were very pleasant. However, the fitness room was not well kept.

Not that great!
It needed major updating and the continental breakfast was very limited. The free wi-fi was very slow and you needed a cord to get on the internet, only like one outlet to use in the whole room. I wouldn't stay there again.

Interesting, but...
It's old and run-down, so interesting but not modernized. My phone in my room was dead and internet was poor.

Close to tourist places but very small
Good housekeeping but rooms very small, beds were uncomfortable; definitely not the best hotel I've been to.
