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 your looking to be close and walk to everything, perfect spot. If your trying to hang out by the pool, great spot. Biggest down fall, room size, Ocean front rooms are so small, 2 people for a weekend is perfect, don't bring a lot of luggage, you have limited space for everything. The size of the room and the price you pay, your paying for the location not the room. Ocean front isn't worth the money

This is my seventh time visiting the Wayfair Hotel in San Diego. I like the fact that the hotel is next to the Pacific Ocean. It has a swimming pool and hot tub that face out towards the ocean. It has easy access from the swimming pool area to walk down to a boardwalk where you could ride a bike. You can walk down to the sandy beach and ocean from the boardwalk.

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.
