The Wayfarer is our go-to when in San Diego. You are steps from the beach and can be oceanfront if you choose the right room. It is perfect walking distance to numerous restaurants and shopping. The patio and pool are great. Our last stay we watched every sunset from the hot tub. Clean comfortable rooms throughout the property. Love this spot!

What I like about this property is that it’s easy access to the boardwalk and Pacific Ocean. It has a beautiful swimming pool and hot tub. Which face the ocean from the hotel. One can go through a gate by the swimming pool down to the boardwalk and then down some more steps to the sand and the ocean. It’s a wonderful location if you want to be by the beach.

Room not as pictured on site

Check in was fine; staff were just doing their job and not much interaction except to tell us the rules of the property. Smiles limited. The room was outdated and musty smelling. The bed was comfortable. The view was amazing and made it worth our stay. The location was perfect!
