The Wayfarer San Diego reviews
“Great hotel and trip”
LikedLocation by the beach. Pool view of the beach. Staff very friendly. Texts were nice. Cleanliness of rooms
“The perfect stay with my two teenage daughters.”
LikedLocation was amazing…. Property was clean and staff was extremely helpful.
DislikedLoved it all.
“I’ll be back.”
LikedThe staff was great! The hotel was cute, clean and comfortable. The pool area was such a nice bonus, but the proximity to the beach was the highlight.
“Our family enjoyed every minute. Will definitely be back next summer”
LikedOne of our favorites! Located right on the beach. Beautiful views from the pool area as well. Nice fire pit. Walking distance to many restaurants. Clean, convenient, great staff. 5 stars!
“We’d definitely stay here again !”
LikedHere’s a review that sounds genuine and highlights the things future guests care about: We had a fantastic stay at the Wayfarer Hotel. The staff was genuinely friendly, welcoming, and helpful from check-in through checkout. Customer service like that really stands out. The location is hard to beat—just steps from Pacific Beach, with plenty of great restaurants, coffee shops, and places to walk nearby. We hardly needed to use the car. The hotel was clean, comfortable, and made a great home base for exploring San Diego. We’d definitely stay here again and would recommend it to anyone looking for a fun beach getaway
DislikedI can't think of anything.
“An unexpected stay turned this into our new favorite place to stay when visiting San Diego”
LikedLocation was amazing, beds were comfortable and pillows and sheets soft. We had a partial view of the ocean on the 2nd floor facing the pool and it was exactly what I hoped for with the ocean sound with the sliding door open. Short walk to just about any food and the beach is right there! Rentals of boogie boards and chairs was so appreciated.
DislikedThe pool closes at 10pm but we didn’t want to be woken up from talking or partying below so we closed the door and turned on a sound machine. It is more active than LaJolla Shores but the hotel is so much more nicer.
“Will come again”
LikedLove the ocean front room. Slept with patio dorr open.
