Beautiful historic facility but in need of much updating. Staff rarely on the property and not overly friendly. Owner shows a lack of hospitality knowledge: cheap soap/shampoo, no glasses provided, no room refrigerator or available ice except from the staff during 9-5 hours. Dangerous situation with the TV cable strung across the floor at bathroom door.

Facilities consistent with historical age and traditions of the hotel. There were few people staying at the hotel and arrival registration was by phone which was a first for me. The staff was helpful however.

From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by the most friendly people. Our room was on the 3rd floor, which didn’t bother us at all because we don’t mind taking steps. I saw other people complain about that… it is a historic Inn, so no surprise. We went to the tavern and had a wonderful dinner/cocktails on 6/19… I didn’t catch her name, but she got me my iced tea with vodka which was fantastic. Later that night, I ran into Jenna and Ricardo that gave me the best stories of the Inn… I will definitely look for them on our next stay!!! We had brunch at the inn on Sunday…our waitress had only been there a couple days. She was wonderful and actually showed us our way around all the nooks and crannies…I wish I was more alert with everyone’s names. Even the bus boy came around to make sure our table was clear of any used dishes. Seriously, wonderful time!! And for the people that put down being placed in “a servants kitchen… that’s where I requested to be!!! That’s why you stay in a historic place to begin with!!! We didn’t want to leave!!

We were fortunate enough to stay in one of the original rooms. Beautifully decorated, comfortable,clean and quiet. Exceptionally nice staff which told us the history of the Inn. I look forward to returning and having brunch with them on a Sunday.

What an awesome Americana stop! I used the inn as home base to explore Cedar Creek NP on my way to OBX. The room was clean and quirky with unique antique furniture. The staff was positive and quick to tell me all the ways I may be haunted whilst there - fun! :-) I ate at the inn for dinner the first night and the BLT and fries were perfect - as well as the dirty martini. Will definitely use this as a stop in the future.

Super creepy and old, feels haunted, tiny bathroom and 3 steps to access it. Need a step stool to get into bed. No staff on property after 8pm.

What a unique inn!!!! It was very comfortable and the staff was wonderful to the point where the woman at the front desk walked me to my room, pointed out various things in the room as well as, when I went down to dinner, gave me a tour of the various dining rooms. I will definitely stay at the Wayside Inn again.

The accommodations were great. The room was clean. Besides the few restaurants in the area, you had to drive everywhere.
