    Loved the rocking chairs & listening to the river while I read
    Taylor R.

    I loved this inn! The rooms were spacious & clean, the beds comfortable, & the river right outside the sliding glass door with white rocking chairs?? Amazing. I sat outside & read in the crisp mountain morning & it felt like heaven. The room was already reasonably priced but add in the breakfast being included (which was lovely as well; nice view of the bridge & the food was good) -- probably a $15-20 value per person, & it being foliage season... very impressed. I'd love to go back to the Wayside, anytime.

    My brothers and I stayed at an air bnb up the street, saw this place and had great reviews. Stopped in for dinner and was delighted with the scenery. The staff was friendly and prompt with their service. The downfall was the food. My brothers ordered the chicken with tots, ravioli (with some kind of mushroom pattie) and I ordered the fish and chips. The brother that had the chicken found a hair, my other brother that had ordered the ravioli said the mushroom pattie tasted like it went bad and was covered in oil and my simple fish and chips was so under cooked it was oozing batter. My advice for the owner is to stick to a simpler menu or find a new chef. You have such a beautiful location and a great staff it was a shame the food didn't match.

    What a great find! Cozy room with a creek right outside your balcony and a delicious breakfast in their dining room.

    It is an older building, but well taken care of, has a river behind and the breakfast and dinner were both EXCELLENT.

Within hours of arrival, we were forced out of one filthy, unsafe room into another that was even worse. We encountered mold, broken fixtures, hotel doors with no lock, and blood-stained bedding on both the linen of all beds (what was stated to be possibly from drug users that frequent the location). Staff admitted the rooms were unfit yet failed to provide clean linens, stating cleaning service was unavailable and my wife and I would have to strip and remake blood-contaminated beds ourselves while our children slept in personal blankets in chairs due to the time of night. The situation escalated into harassment, dishonesty, and ultimately a police visit based on false claims made by staff (Kevin Jam). Management (Bija Patel/Vin Patel) upon discovering Jams harassment, mishandling, and misrepresentation of facts to Law Enforcement (which he was warned of) misrepresented their role, stating there was nothing they could do other than a 10% discount on our stay due to my family "being publicly humiliated in the hallway late at night". Upon departing, we contacted Best Western Corporate, they informed us although they utilize the Best Western name they do not recognize their affiliation. This property demonstrated severe health code violations, reckless staff conduct, and a complete disregard for guest safety and basic human decency. Avoid this hotel at all costs. When attempting a refund through Best Western they stated although the property utilizes the Best Western name they do not recognize their affiliation.

    This place is clearly in transition with ongoing construction. Our room was clean and the bed comfy…read morebut there are numerous issues. Despite few guests they could not offer a 20 minute early check in because they weren't cleaned yet. Security was lacking with unlocked but unmonitored doors around the clock. The hotel attracted traveling contractors arriving late and leaving early that crushed the vacation vibe. Overall disappointment.
