The location and view

It was pretty old. The bathroom was pretty outdated bad water pressure. The lamp by the bed was the outlets to charge phones. Super old and broken. Overall it was not a bad experience laced and I would go again. But for the amount of money , I expected more.

Location, staff was exceptional, absolutely awesome people that work there,beds we're very comfortable

Anything and everything extra cost more. parking, flexible hours, nothing extra included for free the shower head was kind of a bummer it's when they use in Pilot Flying J Truck Stop shower in America LOL banged my knee on the bed frame about four times lol a food voucher would have been nice from the cafe since they don't provide breakfast

The view of the ocean from the premium rooms with king beds is exceptional! The pool area is clean, comfortable and gives you direct access to Pacific Beach across the boardwalk. The staff were friendly and helpful.

Premium rooms should offer free high speed wifi instead of slow wifi.

We are repeat guests (4 years in a row so far) & The Wayfarer will continue to be where we stay on our yearly summer vacay! Yes, the location can't be beat, but the hotel is the perfect blend of comfort & cool. We love the beds, the views, & all the room ammenities. The pool area is both relaxed & fun (love the music in the pool area & the pool bar on the weekends). We love having the cafe/lobby as an option for food & and drinks. Most importantly, they always take pride in the cleanliness of the hotel, rooms, & pool area. Always a perfect stay for us!

I loved the location. The pool and quick access to the beach were so great. The hotel staff were all excellent from the front desk to the custodians to the maintenance crew. It was a very pleasant experience. This hotel is definitely kid and family friendly.

The carpet in our room was pretty filthy. Not to the eye but on our fresh socks/feet. But it is on the beach and the room had direct pool access so that's very understandable with the constant traffic over time. Also the toilet did not flush toilet paper down well so that was frustrating.

Close to beach staff

Nasty jacuzzi had a hair ball in water and other stuff floating around . Jumped in then jumped out fast !

Location was good for us, we loved being right off the beach! Staff friendly, rooms descent, fit our needs. On site coffee shop was a plus for us.

No real complaints besides the fact this place seems a little bit older. Rooms were basic but fit our needs! Place was busy so noisy all throughout the stay. Loud music and people juts having fun. I guess I can’t be mad for people having fun! Ha! I would consider staying here again only because they had A/C which is a plus for me!

Honestly the pictures didn't do it the room or the location justice online. Once we arrived we were very please with our room and its location on the first floor, facing the pool/beach. And for the price with the view it was definitely worth it! The room was a decent size not too big not too small. It's right off the board walk and near so many cute restaurants and bars. I def would stay here again and even recommend it to friends/family.

I wish the pool could be open/used later. Also it's unfortunate the wifi was terrible. And if you wanted better wifi you would've had to pay $15 per day. Although the price for the room was okay(the location made up for that) if feel like for what people pay wifi should just be complimentary.

The location is perfect, the proximity to everything you could possibly need is so nice. Pay more if you want a beach view; we stayed in a room facing the parking lot because we were so close to the beach it didn’t matter. We would absolutely stay here again. The beds were soft and comfortable, rooms were great size and clean.

Water pressure for the shower was not very good but it was not the worst either. Also, the shower temp in the morning is all over the place from luke warm to scalding hot, I figured it was probably because of the time of day. Neither of these “issues” would prevent me from staying here again.

It’s got a bit of Don Draper on his west coast vacation feel: I thought from the outside maybe it would be tired or a bit rundown but not at all. Felt fresh, it was immaculately clean and the location is fantastic. Most comfortable bed (firm, not sagging) of my whole trip. I had a room with no view which suited me fine, it was private. The upstairs rooms overlooking the beach must have amazing views, the ground floor rooms round the pool look like they might feel a bit exposed to other patrons passing by.

My safe worked once but didn’t work after that first time: I reported it and was told it would be looked at but that never happened. I had one half of what was obviously an adjoining room (door locked and very secure) but could hear normal volume conversation clearly through from next door.
