Nice no frills property. The restaurant was good and convenient and the staff was friendly. A bit overpriced for what was offered however it was in a great location. Close to Cal Poly and downtown SLO.

Olympic weekend w my SO
We love the wayfarer, have stayed many times! Service is always friendly and efficient! This trip was one night booked well in advance and we got what seemed like most disturbing room in the hotel, right next to entrance and front Desk as well as thins walls, but continuous noise. It did get little humid, thinking sheets were not the best but overall mattress was comfortable! Appreciate the kind gesture at end of our stay~ Hilton Honors Member and Local!!

Enjoyed our stay. Room was a bit tight for four but was fine for just two nights. Liked our walks in to town. Front desk was not overly welcoming as other properties but they were efficient.
