If you are staying in an ocean front room, request above the first floor. Otherwise people walking on the bus boardwalk steps from your window will be looking into your room. Staff was very helpful.

Pros:
The hotel’s location right beside the beach is its most attractive feature. The rooms are clean and appear to have been renovated in recent years, which adds to the overall comfort. Cons:
The young front desk lady lacked warmth, making the experience feel less welcoming. And Additionally, the hotel seemed overly focused on upselling, which felt borderline exploitative. Guests are constantly bombarded with text messages to upgrade rooms for extra fees, extend hours for additional charges, or book another night at discounted rates—even after checkout. The Wi-Fi connection process is also tricky, as it’s easy to accidentally select costly upgrade options. No breakfast included and paid parking for $36/night(free public parking just outside the hotel) Overall, the hotel doesn’t worth its rates, especially during the off-peak winter season. Unfortunately, we wouldn’t choose to stay here again.

The bed and shower were very nice. Free WiFi wasn't exactly free since internet access was only granted if you agreed to receive ads. All of the outdoor furniture cushions were too wet to sit on. The flooring in the hallway and our room were also wet for our entire stay. Room was very small. Fridge had no controls and was so cold everything became frozen.

Great hotel, right by the beach
Located right next to the beach. The rooms were comfortable, despite being a bit tight to have two suitcases open. Everything was clean and staff were very helpful and accommodating. There were great eats located within walking distance, and it was super helpful having parking available onsite. San Diego Zoo was about 15 mins drive and Legoland 10 mins from the hotel.

Absolutely loved the hotel and would stay again. We had one problem…the medal door stop was horribly placed and I broke my toe in the middle of the night. My boyfriend told the gentleman at the desk about it (more to be informative like maybe they should rethink the placement) and was treated poorly. We were rudely told I needed to go to the hospital and fill out paperwork if I wanted to file a claim (never once said I was looking to get anything out of it, just wanted them to know). Not a single “sorry that happened”. I’m an ER nurse and was NOT going to the hospital for a broken toe I fixed on my own. I was surprised by the treatment as up until then everything was spectacular

Overall good stay
Overall our stay at the Wayfayer was pleasant. Location 10/10 beautiful view of the ocean. Walking distance to local bars and food. Pool and jacuzzi were well maintained and beautiful during sunset. Our room overlooked the pool and had partial view of the ocean which was so beautiful early morning, middle of day, late night. We slept with the balcony door open to hear the beautiful waves. Room was clean. Old though carpets were torn. The dressers was broken, one of our bath towels had weird orange stain. It was a birthday weekend getaway for me and my boyfriend. We enjoyed our stay. Even though it was older it felt clean and well maintained. Definitely would stay again. Pricey but for the location and views so worth it. We walked about a quarter mile down the beach to Konos cafe for breakfast. Bar hopped during the day.
