It was first time staying at this property, had such a great experience. The hotel was clean and beds were comfortable. Loved how close and convenient the hotel was from restaurants and surrounding areas on the beach. Jay at the front desk was helpful and staff were friendly. Will definitely be back soon!

Beautiful view , if you rent the ocean or partial ocean view …. That is the best part of the hotel ….. cool staff , but very old furniture in the rooms , they charge $36 a night for parking …. You need to ask for house keeping or they will skip your room …. I stayed here for 7 days 6 nights like I said the Ocean view was beautiful .. Stay Classy SD

the location right on the beach was great plus the heated pool and hot tubs were my main attractions. Rooms and hotel itself was good but not great. Hotel cafe and parking were extra and expensive, but available. Weather was cloudy and cool each morning but thats San Diego and not the hotel

Older hotel that’s been nicely updated. Loved that it was right on the beach with the boardwalk right in front of the property. Room was comfortable & clean. Pool area was well maintained. Staff was friendly. Plenty of on-site parking for a fee. We really enjoyed our stay. Listening to the ocean was great!

This is the third time I’ve stayed at the Wayfarer Hotel. I like this hotel because it is next to the boardwalk and the Pacific Ocean. I also like the heated swimming pool and hot tub that faces out towards the boardwalk and the ocean. The staff are all very friendly and housekeeping is excellent! My room was cleaned daily. I plan on coming back to the Wayfarer in the future when I stay at Pacific Beach.
