Door to room was broken. Maintenance couldn’t fix it. It would take a couple min to forcefully get the knob to turn everytime. Even for the maintenance gentleman. The toilet would not work and bubbled all night. We had to use the bathroom in the lobby! And the Tv didnt work. When we complained and wanted our money back. They said all they could do was offer a 50 dollar credit. Extremely disappointed and will never stay there again.

Our stay was amazing. It was perfect for a lowkey weekend in the winter. Located right off the beach while maintaining safety. Loved the jacuzzi and the pool was semi-warm, which made the evenings fun. Clean room and property. Secure parking. Walking distance to many eateries. Will definitely try it out again during the warmer season.

The Wayfarer is one of our favorite properties to stay at while in San Diego. It is in a prime location with great views. Staff are very nice and prompt. This is a regular place for my wife and me to stay when visiting, and we both highly recommend this place.

Hotel parking lot was difficult to find. Check in process was easy. Parking is quite expensive and parking garage was not useable for my car. Room was comfortable but cleaning was a little lackluster. Checked in with a very long black hair noticeable in the amenities tray in the bathroom.

Our stay was wonderful. The location was perfectly located, very walkable and safe area. The view from our partial ocean view room was so nice. The hotel sends you a text when you are checked in and from there you can text the front desk for quick answers to any questions you may have (even recommendations for good delivery options). There is a washer and dryer on site which was a nice surprise. If I am ever in San Diego again, I will definitely head back to the Wayfarer!

If you are staying in an ocean front room, request above the first floor. Otherwise people walking on the bus boardwalk steps from your window will be looking into your room. Staff was very helpful.

Pros:
The hotel’s location right beside the beach is its most attractive feature. The rooms are clean and appear to have been renovated in recent years, which adds to the overall comfort. Cons:
The young front desk lady lacked warmth, making the experience feel less welcoming. And Additionally, the hotel seemed overly focused on upselling, which felt borderline exploitative. Guests are constantly bombarded with text messages to upgrade rooms for extra fees, extend hours for additional charges, or book another night at discounted rates—even after checkout. The Wi-Fi connection process is also tricky, as it’s easy to accidentally select costly upgrade options. No breakfast included and paid parking for $36/night(free public parking just outside the hotel) Overall, the hotel doesn’t worth its rates, especially during the off-peak winter season. Unfortunately, we wouldn’t choose to stay here again.

The bed and shower were very nice. Free WiFi wasn't exactly free since internet access was only granted if you agreed to receive ads. All of the outdoor furniture cushions were too wet to sit on. The flooring in the hallway and our room were also wet for our entire stay. Room was very small. Fridge had no controls and was so cold everything became frozen.
