    ocean view pool
    friendly staff

    i loved staying at wayfarer! the ocean view pool was perfect, and being so close to the roar of the ocean was amazing. the staff was really friendly and accommodating, making our family with children feel right at home. plus, free wi-fi was a nice bonus. overall, a great experience!

    the room felt a little outdated and had a musty smell, but it wasn't a dealbreaker.

    I had an amazing stay with friends soaking up the sun by the pool, and the burgers at Mission Burger were to die for! Just a heads up, the shower had a loud noise at times. Would totally come back!

    heated pool
    hot tub
    stunning views
    parking fee

    We had an amazing time soaking up the sun by the heated pool and enjoying the hot tub after a long day at the beach. The views are stunning from the pool deck, and we loved ending our evenings by the fire pit with ocean waves in the background. Only downside was the parking fee, but it was well worth it for the overall experience! 🌅

    Our stay was amazing! The room had a cozy balcony with a partial ocean view and comfy beds. The ocean view pool was a perfect spot to unwind after a day out. The staff was remarkably friendly, always ready to help with a smile.

    great beach access with nearby parks and restaurants

    My stay was fantastic, especially with the lovely views and comfortable accommodations, making it easy to appreciate the nearby parks like Calumet Park and enjoy delicious meals at places like Seaside Cantina, right around the corner. as a solo traveler, I valued the centrality of the hotel for my city strolls but was disappointed with the broken safe in my room.

    great location
    clean rooms
    fuzzy bathroom vent

    Had an awesome time with friends! We loved learning to surf at the beach and also enjoyed biking along the bay. The location was perfect – tons of restaurants and shops nearby. Just a heads up though, the shower had some loud noises occasionally. Definitely a place we’d recommend for a fun group getaway!

    One of our nights, the room cleanliness was questionable – the bathroom vent was fuzzy and there were some stains on the carpet.

    room comfort

    great views but missed the king room comfort

    Waking up at 5 am on my birthday to catch the sunrise was unforgettable. Collecting sea shells along the shore added a personal touch to our stay.

    We didn't get the king room we expected, which was a bit disappointing.

    high fees
    poor connectivity

    ocean view pool, poolside cabana suites, direct access to beach

    Think twice about the excessively high parking fees!!! Additionally, the internet connection really needs a boost to meet modern standards. Noise from nearby rooms can be disruptive too!!!
