The Manor

By the standards of a historic hotel built in 1946, the Lafayette is a sort of oddity. Guests arrive through a pair of proud white exterior columns into a handsome brick and stucco building. It appears initially as though the hotel were an embodiment of a Southern plantation rather than a historical Southern California Manor.

Design-wise, the greatest achievement of the Manor building today is that it creates an impression little has changed since 1946. Most of the building’s seventy-one rooms have at least one distinct characteristic not to be found elsewhere throughout the hotel.

European travelers will find Manor rooms familiar and comforting. Domestic travelers commonly find solace from typically Motel 6 depression. The ambiance and atmosphere of the four story Manor comes not from a decorator, but by the hand of time.

Rooms are available as one King bed, or two Queens. In conjunction with the historical rehabilitation, the bathrooms, no two the same, have received a slight refresh. Every room in the Manor also features brand new 37 inch LCD televisions.
