Stayed in a non ocean view room but still ended up being able to see the ocean from our balcony. Room was told to be newly renovated which was nice. Everything looked new except for the bathtub/shower. Location can’t be beat and while it was too chilly to use the pool we still enjoyed sunsets from the pool area which was lovely.

The location near the beach was decent, but the hygiene was really disappointing, and the environment was very damp.

The hotel has a very convenient location, close to many attractions and beach. However, the soundproofing is really poor. You can clearly hear footsteps and noise from the room above, which made it hard to relax and get a good night’s sleep. The stay would have been much more pleasant if the rooms were better insulated against noise. Overall, good location but would not recommend for light sleepers.

LOVED my stay at this hotel. Wayfarer was clean and cute and right on the beach. We can't wait to come back!

Cute hotel right by the beach and boardwalk. Room is clean and as described. Nice pool area with direct view and access to the beach. The reception could not give me more details about the late checkout offer that I had received via email so it looks like there is some disconnect between the online operation vs the service staff at the hotel. Otherwise everything was good and I would be happy to stay here again.
