The staff were very accommodating to my concerns. The part I didn’t like is they charge $40.00 a night to park which is ridiculous. It is an older hotel but is kept clean. The location is convenient but I think next time we will stay at newer hotel.

If you want to be close to the beach, then this is a nice property. The pool area in particular faces right onto the beach and is really very nice. The rooms however, are just fair. For $500+ a night I really expected more. The room was very basic as were the amenities and it didn't feel that clean to me. But you are really just paying for the location. The staff was very nice and responsive. When we moved into our room, the tub plug was pulled out broken and dirty, the Safe didn't work, the toilet flushed slowly, and one of the towels was dirty. I reported all of these things the next day and every single one of them was fixed immediately, which I appreciated. But they should have done better.

Staff is great! Very friendly and accommodating. Room was very clean, bed and pillows very comfortable. Pool area was very clean with an awesome view of the ocean! The partial ocean view wasn’t that great from the side of the building but it was a “partial “ view lol. Would recommend and stay again.

This was our second stay at the Wayfarer. Amazing and convenient location. Right on the beach. Splurged for an ocean view room which was amazing for sunsets but we weren’t actually in the room that much. Perfect for a stay all day at the beach spot. Can come back to the pool area to rinse in the shower, warm up in the hot tub, or take a sand free plunge in the pool. We will come back next time we make it to San Diego.

Let me start by saying this property is located right on the beach. That is about the only positive I have. Room was a mold breeding ground and the carpet was damp enough to leave your socks uncomfortable. There was mold around the bathroom and clear water damage above the shower. There is ZERO insulation preventing you from hearing the people below, above and either side. Not to mention the continuous noise from outside so if you thought about leaving your patio door open to hear the waves, good luck. Pool area was flooded with kids and is TINY for the amount of rooms and people the hotel accommodates. Better get your towel on your chair quick or you’re not getting a spot. I was completely taken back by the horrific smell that whatever deodorizer is used to mask it is only making it worse. The WiFi is trash and unless I was outside, Verizon didn’t work great either. Came to relax with my parents and felt so gross in the hotel I spent majority of my time away, but my father is unable to walk well due to a rare disease he was just diagnosed with and basically was stuck at the pool area most of the trip. Expedia said $35 credit towards parking but we didn’t have a car and we’re not given a credit to use elsewhere (since they charge extra for real internet and all the “amenities” they advertise) Quite frankly I was very disappointed that I paid extra for this place over the one next door due to the ratings, could have saved myself a TON of money across the parking lot.
