Located right next to the beach. The rooms were comfortable, despite being a bit tight to have two suitcases open. Everything was clean and staff were very helpful and accommodating. There were great eats located within walking distance, and it was super helpful having parking available onsite. San Diego Zoo was about 15 mins drive and Legoland 10 mins from the hotel.

Absolutely loved the hotel and would stay again. We had one problem…the medal door stop was horribly placed and I broke my toe in the middle of the night. My boyfriend told the gentleman at the desk about it (more to be informative like maybe they should rethink the placement) and was treated poorly. We were rudely told I needed to go to the hospital and fill out paperwork if I wanted to file a claim (never once said I was looking to get anything out of it, just wanted them to know). Not a single “sorry that happened”. I’m an ER nurse and was NOT going to the hospital for a broken toe I fixed on my own. I was surprised by the treatment as up until then everything was spectacular

Overall our stay at the Wayfayer was pleasant. Location 10/10 beautiful view of the ocean. Walking distance to local bars and food. Pool and jacuzzi were well maintained and beautiful during sunset. Our room overlooked the pool and had partial view of the ocean which was so beautiful early morning, middle of day, late night. We slept with the balcony door open to hear the beautiful waves. Room was clean. Old though carpets were torn. The dressers was broken, one of our bath towels had weird orange stain. It was a birthday weekend getaway for me and my boyfriend. We enjoyed our stay. Even though it was older it felt clean and well maintained. Definitely would stay again. Pricey but for the location and views so worth it. We walked about a quarter mile down the beach to Konos cafe for breakfast. Bar hopped during the day.

Lovely as usual! Great weather and lovely accommodations. We love to jump
In the ocean for a refreshing swim, a quick shower pool side and a warm soak in the hot tub! Then next door at World Famous for dinner and Woody’s for a morning burrito breakfast. Two concerns - the hotel is costly. They should not be a fee for parking but there is($35/ night) And - now there are TVs poolside. They need to be quieted by 10pm. I love the sound of the surf at night … the TVs are just unwanted noise.

It’s right on the beach. That was the best part of the hotel. Very very convenient for everything around the hotel.

How the mighty have fallen. Our stay two years ago was such an amazing time. This time was such a disappointment.
The room was so tiny, my wife and I could not move around in the same space at the same time. Just because you can put a king bed in a room, doesn’t mean you should put a king bed in a room. The end of the bed was so close to the dresser we could barely put our clothes away and if you had to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night, good luck making it there without slamming I to the baseboard or the dresser.
The walls are so thin, we had to listen to loud music and kids playing and banging on the walls the first three night there and a baby crying the last two nights. And every time the room next to us slammed their door the headboard of the bed would slam up against the wall.
The outrageous parking fee is acceptable until you realize how much you’ve spent for the tiny room and noisey, sleepless nights. And the pot smokers will be glad to know that the no smoking policy does not apply to pot, since the hotel smells like a marijuana plant.
Definitely not worth the money and we will look at other hotels in the area next year.

We will be back. We enjoyed our stay very much. The ocean view was lovely, the staff was great, and we were close to all the attractions we wanted to see.

We enjoyed our week long stay at the Wayfarer. Lots of restaurants within walking distance. Perfect location being oceanfront. All of the places we wanted to visit were about 15-20 min Uber rides (SeaWorld, San Diego zoo, Balboa Park, La Jolla, etc). Rooms were nice. Had one issue the entire week and it was resolved very quickly. Would stay here again!

Amazing location and great customer service provided at the front desk. My room was clean and the location felt safe. If you are sensitive to noise, you might want to bring ear plugs. I was able to hear people in the room next to me talking and even when they sneezed. This didn’t bother me personally, but just a heads up.
If I come back and need a spot next to the beach again, I will be booking another room here.

The Wayfarer is the perfect beachside destination, right on the Mission Beach/Pacific Beach boardwalk, and just steps away from the beach. You can roll out of bed and go surfing. The Wayfarer has a nice pool deck for guests as well. The property is right in the middle of all of the Pacific Beach action, with tons of places to eat and drink nearby, as well as the sweet on-site Zephyr Cafe. There is parking available on-site as well, which is essential because there aren't many street parking options. The staff was amazing and housekeeping was excellent. Stay at the Wayfarer for the best time in SD/PB!

Everyone at the Wayfarer is great, from the checkin when our room was ready early, to the cleaning staff, to the Maintenace guy that help carry my daughters luggage down the stairs (wish I would have got his name) when we checked out. Thank you to everyone and we will see you all again soon!

We stayed 3 nights and never got cleaning services, although housekeeping was standing around ourside rooms all day, every day. No beds made, no fresh coffee, no fresh towels. Very disappointing. We will not stay here again.

We had a great stay at The Wayfarer. The staff was helpful and the area was amazing - lots to do and everything of interest was typically 20 minutes away by car. Lots of hotel parking available (although pricey). Restaurants were plentiful nearby and our kiddo took surfing lessons right off the beach! Would recommend.

The property was great and we loved the fact that it was right on the beach. The only disappointment was that I left my white gold chain with a round diamond pendant in the room and when I returned it had disappeared. The staff and the management wasn’t able to retrieve it. So it’s not safe to leave your valuable belongings in there rooms unless you put them in the safe which I regret not putting it there.

Place was clean and nice! Rooms were spacious with nice furniture and a balcony. My only complain was that the TVs were outdated, so we could not stream or screenplay. The wifi was also weak. But the staff was super nice and helpful! Parking was convenient but expensive. But the close proximity to the beach made it all worth it! Second time staying here and I would stay again.

We enjoyed our stay. Staff were very responsive and polite. It would have been better had parking been free for guests. Having to log into the free WiFi every day was also a pain when you have multiple devices. Our room was a bit run down with no alarm in the room and a handle bar that kept falling. I would have preferred more drawer space but we made it work and lived out of the suitcases for a week. Overall we enjoyed our stay and would come again. We love the proximity to the beach and the restaurants around the hotel was good.
