Wayside was a lovely choice for us. Free parking and walkable to everything we wanted. Staff were all courteous and helpful. They allowed us to check in 2 hours early and an hour late. The beds and bedding are luxurious and so comfortable. There were premium channels, such as HBO and MAX. Plenty of USB/USBC chargers next to the beds. There were lots of lovely details, like soft robes, a fan and extra comforter in the closet. There was mini-fridge and coffee maker in the room with real half/half. Toiletries, including shampoo, shower gel and a shower cap. The lobby always had complimentary coffee, apples, fresh baked cookies, candy and hot tea assortment, ready to go. They also had complimentary filtered water and a thermos instead of single-use plastics.

Paid extra for balcony and it was basically a chair in the parking lot. LOUD room near stairwell, water pipes vibrated so loud it sounded like a belt sander on the floor. Very disappointed by the noise, loved the location but we definitely would not stay here again.

Absolutely! Here’s a version of your hotel review tailored for Expedia, where travelers appreciate concise, honest feedback with a helpful tone: --- Great Stay — Clean, Comfortable, and Welcoming We had a lovely time during our stay. The room was spotless and the bed very comfortable — perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring. The property felt well cared for, and the staff were friendly and attentive. The only thing missing was air conditioning, which made the room a bit warm but the room was provided with a table fan which helped. Overall, a great experience and we’d happily stay again !

Good choice. Room was clean and comfortable. Staff was very helpful and friendly. Really good location for walking and proximity to restaurants and shopping. Having a parking space went a long way on a busy holiday weekend.

Perfect location, near all the restaurants and stores. Our room was on the ground floor and very cosy and comfortable. We had a kitchen that was well equipped for a short stay. Beds were soft and comfy. The whole property is very traditional cottage style which was very cute. Gas fireplace in the living room was a nice touch. Staff were friendly and helpful and gave us good directions to the beach. We enjoyed our stay.
