The style of the hotel was modern and really nice. The only issue I had was the floors in the room were really dirty. My socks were solid black after walking in there. I also wished the room had a microwave. Everything else was great!

This is our second stay at The Wayback. We do like the location of the hotel. Both stays at the hotel the pool bar wasn’t opened. The rooms are nice and cozy. Overall clean but the baseboards and doors needs a good cleaning. The outside of the hotel does need updating with some color to match the inside decor. The restaurant food was okay.It beats going out once in the room. We plan on staying here again if the prices stay the same. Hopefully the pool bar will be opened on our next stay.
