Great little hotel

I had a really fun time at the Wayfarer. We got a room facing the ocean and that was lovely. The service was incredible. The staff are truly lovely and try their best to accommodate guests. The area is great (not the best at night) and has lots of restaurants within walking distance. The beach is lovely. It was cold in Feb when we went so we didn't get to get in the water but it was still beautiful to walk along. The hotel itself is in good shape. There were very minor things, like the laundry machine not working properly (the staff found a solution), the room had a slight scent (I am also very sensitive to scents). The hotel is also a short drive to downtown San Diego where we went dancing and went out to eat and more. The thrift shopping was also amazing in Hill Crest. Overall, we had an amazing stay and will definitely be back. Thank you to everyone for a great stay.

It’s My Favorite Place to Stay

The Wayfarer is such a cute place to stay that’s on the beach. The staff are awesome as always, the hotel is clean and I always feel safe. The boardwalk is always clean and secure. It’s so close to eating options that you can walk to. The views are very beautiful.

We had a great experience. Even though the hotel is older it is very clean and the bed was really comfortable. The staff was really nice and friendly. The weather wasn’t warm enough for the pool, however it seemed really nice. We did relax there and watched the sunset.

We really enjoyed our stay. The place was clean and the hot tub was great. We rented surfboards from a shop really close by and surfed the beach break right in front of the hotel every morning. Great little taco stand near by and also got great poke a few steps away as well. For sure planning to come back! So relaxing!

Perfect Surfing Getaway for Teenagers!

This is our second time staying at the Wayfarer location in San Diego. My son is currently taking surf lessons while we stay at the hotel. We are frequent visitors to the San Diego area and decided to stay here for the convenience of the surf lessons being located directly in front of the hotel. We have been pleasantly surprised and plan to stay here more frequently in the future as it continues to surprise us around each corner. This morning I sat on our ocean front balcony as dolphins played in the distance.
