The hotel is located at a noisy intersection in a downtown area that is past its prime. The staff was indifferent. The room was small though it had been seen recent updating.

The room was perfect. After a very long day of travel, our VRBO Host cancelled our reservation at the last moment. An agent found a comfy room at The Wayfarer. The night host, Blaze and security guard Rick went out of their way to make us feel welcome and took excellent care of us! Our daughter lives in San Diego,so we have often walked past the wall murals at your place...imagine after a tough day yesterday - waking up in a comfy bed, making a cup of coffee, and sitting on the balcony to look at the beautiful mural and ocean....I can not say enough for the kindness we received from your staff! We WILL definitely be back!

9.2/10 Wonderful! (109 reviews)

All was wonderful. Have to say that after making reservations two months in advance m, I was a bit disappointed in where we were placed. I should have said something when we check in but once I got over what I was expecting, the room location was okay but the room itself was over the top. We will go again but be a bit more vocal in our room placement. But this place comes with our strong recommendation to stay.
