Overall, I had a pretty enjoyable stay at The Wayfarer San Luis Obispo. The unique decor and cozy vibe really stood out, but my room placement near the lobby was a huge negative. The staff were friendly, but the dining experience left much to be desired, as some of the food felt inconsistent with what I expected for the price. I’d definitely consider returning, especially for the fun amenities and great location.
