[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks pp!
So it sounds like you’d recommend Ocean Park in or Lafayette from the list, yes?

What did you think of Lafayette?

If our focus is zoo / balboa park (we may or may not drive to Safari park) do the Lafayette?[/quote]

Actually, I like the funkiness of Ocean Beach, but some may not, and I think Pacific Beach is more family friendly, more upscale and what most on this board seem to prefer.  (Even if you stay somewhere else, Ocean Beach has a fun Farmer's Market every Wednesday https://oceanbeachsandiego.com/attractions/annual-events/farmers-market-wednesdays ).

The Lafayette isn't super fancy, but it is nice and clean, has a great retro feel, and the pool is beautiful. If you're not going to be there on the weekend, it won't be a problem, but the only issue I could see someone having is that they have wedding receptions there quite often.  One night the music was quite loud (it was pretty good music, so I didn't mind and it didn't go too late.) The don't have room service, per se, but you can order food from the restaurant for carry out -- I've done that, and the food is excellent. If they have them available, I think you can get a room that opens right out on the pool.

If you do the Lafayette, there's a hole-in-the-wall place a couple of blocks away called Mama's Bakery that has excellent Lebanese food for a reasonable price. I thought the Pizzeria Luigi nearby was good, too. There's also a fun place called Soda & Swine that makes all different kinds of meatballs -- it's not walkable from the Lafayette, but it's in University Heights and a short drive away and fun for kids.
