We had a great experience. Even though the hotel is older it is very clean and the bed was really comfortable. The staff was really nice and friendly. The weather wasn’t warm enough for the pool, however it seemed really nice. We did relax there and watched the sunset.

We really enjoyed our stay. The place was clean and the hot tub was great. We rented surfboards from a shop really close by and surfed the beach break right in front of the hotel every morning. Great little taco stand near by and also got great poke a few steps away as well. For sure planning to come back! So relaxing!

Perfect Surfing Getaway for Teenagers!

This is our second time staying at the Wayfarer location in San Diego. My son is currently taking surf lessons while we stay at the hotel. We are frequent visitors to the San Diego area and decided to stay here for the convenience of the surf lessons being located directly in front of the hotel. We have been pleasantly surprised and plan to stay here more frequently in the future as it continues to surprise us around each corner. This morning I sat on our ocean front balcony as dolphins played in the distance.
