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.

Great family vacay

We had a great stay. Our room walked out to the pool area. Pool area was great and I enjoyed going to the beach directly from the pool area. Weekend evening cocktail bar was a nice touch. Had breakfast and coffee on property. It was quick and convenient. Will be back.

The property was in a great location, walking distance to shops and restaurants. It was also steps from the beach. I booked two rooms separately through Expedia and each room came with a $45 parking credit. The hotel would only allow one credit even though each reservation came with that credit. This was very disappointing. Also, the property was very clean but the carpet in my room had a hole in it! This was no big deal but the for the price I paid for each room this is something I would not expect. I told them about it when I left so hopefully this will be fixed for the next guest.

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.
