We wanted a nice upscale, non-chain, hotel for our stay in San Diego. I scoured through hundreds of hotels, reviews, etc and ultimately narrowed the choices down to 3. My kids got to pick for us. They chose the Lafeyette. Upon arrival, we found that it is not in a quaint part of downtown but a very commercial area. The hotel is under renovation, but honestly, more than renovation is needed. Upon check in, we went to our room only to find inadequate parking and a room that was worse than what my husband and I located for parties in high school (remember those days?). We requested a different room and did not get much improvement. The electrical was questionable, iron burns on the carpet, paint peeling, door drafts, completely disgusting bathroom fixtures (as in didn't look clean or taken care of), the pool was orange from mold in it, and the entire property looked pretty much in need of a complete tear down. We would NOT recommend this property to anyone- especially since the rate was $140!!! Ridiculous!! Not even worth looking at.
