"I was honestly underwhelmed by this property, despite its great location and view. It’s not kid-friendly at all—I traveled with my 1-year-old and had to carry her around the entire time because the floors didn’t feel clean and the carpets had a noticeable odor. The house clearly needs some love and upkeep. The bathroom looked dated and wasn’t cleaned thoroughly. The garage is also very tight—we couldn’t fit our car in, which made parking a real headache. Most nearby street spots were already...

Top Cardiff-by-the-Sea Hotel Reviews

Lafayette Hotel & Club

Lafayette Hotel & Club

10/10 Excellent
"The hotel spaces are amazing. The 24 hour diner might be one of the best in SoCal. The tapas restaurant was stellar, and like all things at this hotel a lot for the eye to take in. The maximalism of the hotel & rooms might be too much for some, others will find this a utopia. Also best assortment of alcohol in the mini bar was probably ever regardless of the price. Not a party hotel by any means, but definitely on the younger side/energy. Overall a great stay in a very California hotel away from the hustle & bustle of downtown or gas lamp."
