The hotel staff was great. We had a partial ocean view, and it was very noisy. We did not realize the restaurant across the street turns into a nightclub. We could also help our neighbors footsteps all night long above us.

Hotel was nicely updated and right on the beach. The only negative was you could hear everything going on in the room above. Very noisy.
Room cleanliness. There’s no food options other than a small cafe w pastries and it’s outside the property. Theres better views and locations close by are similar or better prices. I returned to give them a chance but this place needs different management.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Our stay at The Wayfarer Hotel in San Diego was awesome! Everything was perfect from start to finish. The room was very clean, and it was our first time booking a partial ocean view—and it was still amazing. We could hear the waves at night, which was so relaxing.
It worked out perfectly for our family because we brought our son. We also had a pool view, which was beautiful, and it allowed our son to enjoy playing in the pool while we relaxed and enjoyed ourselves too.
We highly recommend this hotel. Every time we’ve stayed here, it has been nothing but perfect. We can’t wait to come back!

The AC in our room is broken and we could not get a new room but just a fan to bare through the rest of the stay.
