What guests say
8.8 / 10 · Very good on Booking.com, from 201 guest reviews
Wayside Inn earns overwhelmingly positive sentiment, with guests consistently praising its prime walkable location, spacious and recently renovated rooms, and warm, attentive staff. The most recurring concern is the AC system, which was installed but not yet functional at time of these stays, leading to warm rooms and broken sleep for several guests — a practical issue to confirm before booking in warmer months. A handful of guests also noted street noise and the absence of breakfast, but these did not significantly dampen otherwise glowing experiences.
