You cannot beat the location of this hotel. It's just steps to the beach. The pool area has lots of seating and lounges. The bed was comfortable and the room was clean. Staff was friendly. The bathroom was pretty small and cramped. The towel bar kept falling off the wall every time a towel was hung. While there is parking onsite, the parking garage is not so great on a lower profile car. When entering and exiting the garage, the bottom of my car scraped pretty badly and I have a regular sedan. All in all, I'd stay here again. The location is awesome.

I have no complaints about the hotel. It’s a 3 star and I think that it’s a nice 3 star at that. I do think it’s overpriced. You’re paying for the location. But that’s really about it. The staff was all lovely and super responsive. From the front desk to the maintenance everyone was wonderful! Parking is 36 dollars a day which also seems super high.

Very Wonderful Stay! We loved the property and the style of the hotel! We had a oceanfront room with a SPECTACULAR VIEW!!! The Front Desk staff were very friendly and accommodating. We arrived in town early and we were able to check into our room super early which was such a blessing! Thank You!We will definitely be returning!

I absolutely loved my stay. I will be booking again for my stay next month. The staff were so friendly and kind. Lual and Mike were both awesome at the front desk. My room was super comfortable. I rested so well. I had a partial ocean view room and the view was amazingly beautiful. You can walk the boardwalk and find all kinds of restaurants and shops. I am glad I read the reviews and gave them a try. They did not disappoint.

This was our first stay and we booked a room with a balcony beach view. We loved it. We had some minor issues with the room such as the blinds and curtains being very difficult to move. We also found an old sock and a lighter under our bed. In all fairness the sock was black but the lighter was right next to it. Other than these two minor issues, we had a great time. Our room was on the bottom floor and I was concerned that people walking would be right up on us. The property has a garden that separated the rooms from the public walkway by 6-8 feet so that worked great. The property has a door in the pool area where you can walk directly to the public walkway and access everything. This same door can allow you back in with a key card. Very nice amenity. Overall, we would be happy to return.

It was our second stay here and it did not disappoint! Quick and easy check in and check out process. Distance to the beach is literally in minutes walking. Sound isolation is great when you close the doors. Facilities very clean and make the most of the space. Also comes with a microwave, coffee maker (Keurig), and mini fridge. Will stay here again. Now, there is an issue with the south garage that should be fixed. The concrete is lifted/raised before you enter the declined entrance into the under building garage. Normally this wouldn’t be a problem for cars with extra clearance and if there wasn’t such a steep decline. However, for normal sedans and compacts with standard clearance, you will scratch your undercarriage and skid plate. In my case, it was a Tesla model 3 with stock suspension and height. On the way out, that raised concrete scraped the entire skid plate. I would strongly advise fixing this on Wayfarer’s end as this was something I was worried about on our second trip. Otherwise, great place and highly recommend it.

The customer service was great. The location was perfect. The property seems a bit old and rusty but I didn't mind that. Though some renovations would not hurt. My room was nice. The one thing I didn't like is the noise. I could hear people watching TV or talking in their rooms or using the toilet. The folks above me kept running and making loud noises even in the middle of the night (3am for instance). Kids running in the hallways... All of the noises made it difficult to have a good night of sleep and/or quiet moments. I brought this up to the front desk twice but nothing changed. It just got worse. So I gave up on that. But other than the noise issue, I had a good stay.

The hotel condition and facilities are fine, we didn't have problem with that. The staff and service need to be improved. The tissue in the bathroom was out for a few days and didn't get filled in. The worst part is that, we forgot to pack a brand new DJI OSMO Packet 3 my nephew bought specifically for our trip to San Diego and left it in the bed in the room (I was going to put it in my carry-on bag but forgot it because it is a small device). I am pretty sure it is in the hotel room is because I took a video for the sunset near the hotel, brought it back to the hotel room to download it to my phone, and we didn't go anywhere before we left for the airport next morning. We only noticed it was missing after we got back home. I called the hotel but they said they didn't see it. The device is an expensive one, $750 with all accessories. Fortunately only the Packet 3 was left in the room, which is still $519 tax. Is it acceptable these days that staff can keep what customers left in the room after they left?

This is an older hotel with access to the beach and a great pool deck. Our room was clean and basic with a partial view of the ocean and pool deck from our balcony. Not a bad place to crash, but pricey for condition. Parking was $30+ a night and the rooms were basic compared to the price point.

It was a complete package. So nice to stay at a clean hotel just by the beach. We went to a few beaches in San Diego but nothing matches the vibe near the Wayfarer,San Diego. It seemed to be a perfect stay for families or couples alike. The best part was having so many restaurant options nearby.Only downside was that the pool could’ve been warmer and the hot tub closed for maintenance:(. The But I will sure recommend this place to anyone.

Location is the positive here. However, the room was not maintained and cleaned well. The shower in my room and two adjoining rooms would emit a high pitch whistle sound which is due to restrictions in the shower head or plumbing to head. This should have been identified by clearning staff. This was reported to staff but was not addressed during our stay. Room was not cleaned at all one day and multiple requests were needed to get it cleaned on another day during a 5 day visit.

The pool and hot tub area was really well kept. Pool temp was refreshing and hot tub was nice and warm. The chairs were comfortable and it was great to watch the surfers and waves and all of tge people passing in the boardwalk. All of the staff was very friendly and helpful whether it was frontdesk, cafe, housekeeping or maintenance. The beds were comfortable and room overall was better than expected for being a hotel on tge beach. I will definitely go back!

Wonderful location, right on the beach and boardwalk. Very busy with young people partying on the weekends but much quieter during the week days. The rooms that face the pool are much quieter as well and you get a partial view of the ocean.
