local lovin' [travel edition]

it has been quite a while since I've done a local lovin' post

but our recent vacation find in san diego cannot go unmentioned

we booked our room at the Lafayette Hotel the morning of our stay

for a whopping $59, and the reviews were good

but our experience was excellent

it is no surprise that the husband and I are lovers of all things from the past

and The Lafayette Hotel in the North Park neighborhood of San Diego

is really a great example of why

the hotel has recently been undergoing some major renovations

and I loved when staying there how they displayed the hotel's history for guests to see

in fact back in the day it was frequented by the likes of Bob Hope

not bad for us nerds for all things old and glamourous

the neighborhood was pretty simple

near major San Diego attractions like the Zoo & Balboa Park

but the "main drag" just had a great feel the husband & I couldn't get enough of

if only they made signs like these nowadays

and I would be an even happier camper

So if you are ever in the area, I would highly suggest this place.  

for couples I would ask for a room by the pool

(we just got insanely lucky!)

and families, they have larger rooms & bungalows that would be a great fit for more than two
