Reviews for Wayfare Motel
Review 1：I would like to have had a better lock on the door.
Review 2：It was clean and cheap. Very small, but that was fine. Had everything I needed for my overnight stay. The owners were very nice, polite and helpful.
Review 3：We only got a double bed but had confirmed for a queen bed and the room was too small for two people.
Review 4：It was clean and quiet. Owner were very friendly.
Review 5：This motel seems to be owned and operated by a large RUDE family who live on the premises. We were hassled by them before we even got there, getting a phone call about paying. My son was interrogated about how many people were in the room. They counted dirty towels at the room door to account for replacing them. I myself was verbally attacked one afternoon by maintenance he was upset because I was locking the room door from the outside and he shouted his wife had already shown me how to lock the door and if I broke it I would pay. Not sure where he got that idea. We were treated as if we had done or were going to do something wrong to them. There is no customer service. There is a lot of angry rude people. DO NOT STAY HERE
Review 6：The room was quite small. Two people would be continually bumping into one another. Located on a commercial strip with a scenic view of a parking lot and a fence.
Review 7：Non-smoking rooms are newer with newer furnishings. Clean.
Review 8：The owner is really terrible. He won't talk to you in a decent manner. Others staying at this place are thugs. Bring your own towels, seriously consider yourself warned.
Review 9：Free wifi
Review 10：Very tiny room, not a problem if you travel alone as I was. No coffee maker, so I used the microwave to make tea.
Review 11：Very clean, freshly renovated room, close to restaraunts (Boston Pizza and Subway), bicycle friendly, ice cold a/c, friendly and helpful staff, a short walk to Walmart for munchies.
Review 12：They gave us a tiny room with a queen or double -not sure- size bed; it was less wide than the queen we have at home. We kept bumping into each other and I could hardly turn over. They have bigger rooms; I didn't know. Sheets were small.
Review 13：It was clean, traffic noise wasn't bad if you closed the bathroom door. There was a scantily dressed woman who sat on a bench next to our door. Air conditioning system was new. Their Engilsh while not good was better than my Punjab.
Review 14：Very comfortable beds & pillows, and very clean. I'd recommend this motel to anyone looking to lay their head for a night or two. I was very pleasantly surprised as I've stayed in much worse places for more money. We will stay again next year when we are in the area.
Review 15：Minor complaints; low light in bathroom, and would have liked a coffee maker in the room. My door lock was a bit fussy, as I had to keep playing with it to get it into the 'lock' position. I alerted management. There was no deadbolt, as a female alone, I feel safer with one.
Review 16：Room includes a microwave, a fridge (fairly large), flat screen TV, and cable. Shower was modern, good water pressure, full length mirror, dresser and table/chair. Busy road nearby, but noise was NOT an issue. Good AC.
Review 17：The price was reasonable, the staff was quite friendly and the beds were comfortable. I forgot my "special" pillow but still managed to have a good night's sleep. My husband also commented on how well he slept through the night. I like the addition of the sink located outside the bathroom. It is a nice touch when 2 people are trying to scramble to get ready in the morning, or it could be used to wash dishes if you are bringing your own food and plates. I am an early riser, while my husband likes to sleep in, so having the ability to step out and go shopping at nearby stores or just sit and have a coffee or snack at McDonalds while I let my husband sleep is quite convenient. We will definitely be staying here again in the near future!
Review 18：Surprised no hangers or Kleenex in room (removed by a previous guest??)
Review 19：Excellent location, large mall including Walmart steps away. Room small but clean, had clock radio, fridge and microwave.
Review 20：Had booked a room with a queen, but unavailable when I arrived. They did try to charge more for the room I got (King), but then agreed that was unreasonable.
Review 21：Unpleasant landlord, did not listen to complaint about cold water and blamed us for it.
Review 22：It was an unpleasant room. The lock on the door did no work easily and the shower each morning was cool.
Review 23：2 people but 1 soap; 2 glasses but needed 4; 2 sets hand towels rather than hand towels plus bath towels; disturbing! shower handles/ toilet tissue holder not cleaned for long time, spotted, dirty & rough to touch; rooms drab, each overhead had 1 bulb instead of 2
Review 24：pillows; excellent heater ... comfortable and little noise; shower; new bath-room ... small but nice décor, tile, etc.; provision of fridge; they took pets; friendly staff ... booked ahead 2 nights and staff complied with bath towels for showering second night rather than two sets of hand towels.
Review 25：Nothing really. For the price it cost, I wasn't expecting a red carpet!
Review 26：Looks newly renovated. Had a fridge and microwave and kitchen sink. The bed was comfy, the shower and generate stage of bathroom were great. Amazing value for the price. At the upper edge of town, but $10 cab with get you down town quickly! Walmart nearby.

Review 30：close to highway 6. Walmart close by. good internet connection.
Review 31：got to Motel at 12 AM and was greeted by a man who wasn't to pleasant. When it says someone there 24 hrs, I don't need to be told I'm late even though my room was charged before I was even there? No coffee maker in room. Hot water takes very long time to get to room. Grumpy even though sign says open, wake up bell doesn't work to well.

Review 77：TV did not work and no consideration offered got this inconvenience
Review 78：Location
Review 79：Bathroom was a bit small. no place to hang clothes.
Review 80：Price. cleanliness.
Review 81：No hot water in room. Manager kept arguing it was hot and cheched it on last day of stay realized at best it was Luke warm. The neighbour was loud and partied all night. The bathroom door wouldn't shut. Said it was pet friendly and they had a fit when I brought my dog for 1 night and charged me 10 extra dollars. They kept calling next day to see if the dog was gone. Will NEVER stay here again!!!
Review 82：The room seems like to be on the street. Trucks passed by even in the midnight, very noisy! It's also cold in the room, can't find any button to adjust the temperature. I won't be here again.
Review 83：The bath/shower needed a renovation (old faucets that were very inefficient). However the motel is building an addition, and the new suites hopefully will have modernized fixtures.
Review 84：The room was basic, but it was quite clean and everything was functional (microwave, fridge, large-screen TV with cable, lights, etc.) Internet was free and high-speed as advertised. Fine for a night's stopover.
Review 85：The room was tiny, dank, and did NOT have a kitchenette — a bar fridge and microwave do not count. The "expansion" was still unfinished. The property looked closer to rent-by-hour motels that one can find off highways.
Review 86：The female owner was very polite and gracious. The property was very close to city transit without the noise normally associated with a city motel. Wifi access was secure and consistently good.
Review 87：The service was terrible. Two rooms were advertised as available. Since we were a group of 4, I booked both rooms. They were supposed to be available as of 1pm, but when we got there we were informed that we couldn't have the second room until 5pm. We had a wedding at 4pm and all 4 of us in the group needed to shower and get ready after 12 hours of traveling. When we pointed this out we were treated rudely and told that we shouldn't have booked so late. The way I see it, they shouldn't have had 2 rooms listed as available at 1pm if that wasn't the case. We had a difficult time obtaining the password for the free WiFi. They also had a very offensive smelling room deodorizer which we put in the cabinet under the sink until we were leaving. I would not recommend this motel to anyone.
Review 88：It was fairly clean

Review 93：The place was run down. It looked like a hotel that prostitutesfrequents. Furniture was outdates with dents. No soap in the bathroom.Lock on the room door did not seem safe. No safety latch on room door.
Review 94：Absolutely nothing.
Review 95：This motel was awfull. The heat did not work. The microwave had mold in it. The phone did not work. The bedding was clean,but had stains all over the sheets. I do not recommend it. Not even at 70 $ a night.
