Editor's Note: This location is no longer in operation.

The hip and stylish Wayfarer occupies a prime Funk Zone location, three blocks from Stearns Wharf and the beach, and across the street from the train station. Most rooms have king or queen beds and fold-down twins. Four shared rooms (all-male or all-female) have four or five beds that can be reserved individually or collectively by a group. All rooms have private bathrooms, individual lockers for secure storage, free Wi-Fi, and 42-inch high-definition flat-screen TVs.
