The Wayfarer is my go-to in SLO. I’ve stayed here 10+ times for work, and they came through again recently with last-minute availability.
Beautiful stay, great value, and the staff is consistently friendly and easy to work with. It’s a short walk to downtown, and the on-site sports bar is perfect for catching a game. If that’s not your vibe, grab a spot by the fireplace and chill.
Reliable, comfortable, and worth it every time.

Rooms are nice, I just had a problem with the cleanliness. We had to switch rooms because the first room was not very clean and had an odor. They were really nice and we were able to change rooms. In the new room the restroom smelled like urine. Other than that the place is really nice and is kid friendly. They have a shuffleboard and games to play along with televisions.
