Top California Tower Hotel Reviews

Little Italy Inn - Limited Service Apart Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was very helpful and accommodating. I think parking should be included but it’s understandable. Overall good stay, would stay again."

Ash&9th

8/10 Good

"The motel changed hands was subsequently remodeled. The walkways could use some repainting and the threshold around the elevator doors. As for the room itself, it was clean. Some of the furniture shows signs of wear. The drain in the shower is slow and doesn't drain fast enough for the shower head, do expect to be standing in water unless you shut off the water now and then. It may just be room #303 that I rented. The check-in clerk was super nice and has some big plans for his future. Best of luck to him!"

Lafayette Hotel & Club

10/10 Excellent

"This property is even more beautiful in person! Valet was super helpful with parking our vehicle where we were able to access it during our stay. The concierge was able to accommodate a slightly early check-in. I also requested a very specific room and had my request accommodated- I was very grateful for that. Although I visited a Monday through Wednesday, it felt like a weekend! On Monday, there was a DJ, a synchronized swimming performance, and sponsored non-alcoholic bevy's for pool guests to keep hydrated. On Tuesday, there was sponsored merchandise given out from a tequila brand. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and can't wait to be back. Thank you for making my birthday special, Lafayette!"
