Warm, friendly, helpful, kind. Great staff. Clean, affordable and good food. At a time of distress I have never felt more welcome or more cared about. Unable to say enough good things about staff and hotel

Over all our stay was good. Our first time staying at this hotel.We were impressed with hotel. Recently renovated in and out. Our room was well equipped with fridge,microwave, tub/shower combo coffee maker. Large tv with a very good selection of channels. We will definitely stay again.

User 05/11/2022

Great location in the community. Food in the restaurant was good but the service was very slow. Check-in and Checkout was good. Appreciate the fact they let me check in early as the weather conditions were very poor that day. All in all things were good.

"Great Stay!"

Bill P, Calgary, Canada 03/10/2022

Stayed one night. Room was very comfortable, staff were accommodating and very friendly. Hotel was quiet, gym was good with a decent range of weight and cardio equipment available, bed comfortable. Saw others who didn't like the rainfall shower head...it worked great with lots of room to adjust the water temperature by reaching around the water. I would definitely stay there again.

"No breakfast as advertised on their page, the place was noisy as there was a bar on the main floor, no laun-site -site"

MannyMO2022, Edmonton, Canada 31/08/2022

Paying almost $140 per night with no breakfast, no pool, a noisy environment, and no laundry, seem like a scam to me contrary to what was advertised on their site. Next time I'm in Wetaskiwin, I'll consider booking the sister-company hotel.

Kent Sjolin, General Manager at Best Western Wayside Inn, responded to this review
Thank you for taking the time to let us know about your stay with us. I'm disappointed that you did not find good value in your experience with us. Inflation is hitting us all and we know that our guests are being financially stretched more than ever. We have held our prices at pre-covid levels and will continue to do so as long as we can. Hopefully things will stabilize soon. As I mentioned in our earlier correspondence, our advertising details that breakfast is available, but it does not state that is free. We have a full service restaurant that serves breakfast. As an added value to our hotel guests we offer a coupon for 5.00 for a full hot breakfast, a 16.00 value on our menu. This is not meant to be a "scam", but more of an added value to our hotel guests. The overwhelming feedback from our guests is that they appreciate this option. Again my apologies if you felt misinformed, I hope you will consider staying with us again.

"Comfortable beds, fairly quiet, pleasant reception people---but impractical bathrooms."

LarryTheRadioGuy, Edmonton, Canada 30/08/2022

The room was comfortable....with nice solid beds. And for $5 you can get a full breakfast from their restaurant. But the bathroom was quite strange. The sink is outside the bathroom. And the bathroom itself is really small and the shower head is large at the top. And you can't test the water to get it to the right temperature unless you get right into it...risking yourself getting scalded or frozen. And the shower has no door....so it's very hard to avoid getting water all over the floor. Not the wisest design.

"Great stay at the Wayside Inn in Wetaskiwin"

garrygrams, Richmond, Canada 19/07/2022

We spent five nights at the Wayside Inn in Wetaskiwin and were most pleased with our accommodations, the friendliness of staff (front desk and room service), and our one meal in the pub. We recommend this place without reservation.

User 26/05/2022

The hotel was clean outside on arrival and inside was also. The front desk staff were pleasant and welcoming. The room was nice and clean, sink area was small and loved the fact that there was just a shower no tub. Easy accessibility. The bagged breakfast is beyond great for the amount given. The lounge/bar and restaurant were great places to meet for business and the service in both were great. I would definitely recommend having this place to stay on your list of good hospitality.

Location and service was excellent. Restaurant was connected to the motel so it was very convenient. The only thing I was disappointed in was the morning breakfast. All they had was a grab bag with very limited options.

MommaMaj, Edmonton, Canada 02/04/2022

Comfortable beds, excellent service from check in to check out and great food from the lounge served with room service. If you are traveling and are looking for a great place to stay in Wetaskiwin. I would suggest staying at the Best Western!!

"Wouldn't recommend"

User 21/03/2022

We booked as a group here for a hockey tournament. The smell of cigarette smoke in the hallways was awful. Even more awful when it seeped into our room. Very disappointing. Rooms were tiny, especially the bathroom. Guest services weren't very welcoming. Too expensive for the experience you get there. We wouldn't book again.

Kent Sjolin, General Manager at Best Western Wayside Inn, responded to this review
Thank you for taking the time to let us know about your experience. Please accept my apologies for not meeting your expectations. The Best Western Wayside Inn is 100% non-smoking, but I'm afraid there are times guests come in with the smell smoke on their clothes. Less people are smoking all the time, so it isn't an issue often. I'm sorry that your visit was one of those times. Again my apologies, I hope we have the opportunity to have you back at the hotel again, so we might provide you a better experience.

We drive north for 5hrs for medical and dental appointments so we need a less stressful quiet place for a good nights sleep and Best Western always provides this no matter whether we are on holidays trying out a new BW or the same one time and again we can count on BW for the right atmosphere

"Pleasant Stay"

fireman205, Edmonton, Alberta 01/02/2022

We were in town for a hockey tournament. The staff were amazing and very tolerant of us and our 7-9 year olds. They allowed us the use of a conference room during our stay which really helped. The rooms were clean and setup how we requested with an extra cot. Plenty of extra blankets, towels etc. It was a relaxing stay and wouldn't hesitate to return!

Cozy and updated rooms. The rain shower head is amazing! Really enjoyed staying here. Bed and pillows were comfortable. Room had a mini fridge and a microwave. Would have gave it five stars but the bathroom is a bit small. Internet worked fine.

We keep coming back due to Dentist, Chiropractor and other appointments and this is our hotel of choice for a quiet relaxing time. Best Western hotels are our hotel of choice because we can rely on them being clean and quiet.

Staff here are always accommodating and pleasant with bright and cheery personalities not to mention the peace and quiet of the rooms. We keep coming back for all these reasons. We weren't going to take the brown bag breakfast but our host encouraged us and we were glad we did as it was fantastic. Good job BW keep up the good work......you more than met our expectations

"Excellent service with the best staff of any hotel we have ever stayed"

User 15/11/2020

The beds are comfy, the rooms are nice and clean and both of the restaurants have always been good; but the staff at the Wayside Inn are the real gold stars. The staff are always happy, friendly and super helpful. It doesn't seem like there is a lot of turnover either, which tells you a lot. This is one of the best hotels we have stayed in and that has everything to do with the superb staff there.

"Another successful stay"

Robert G, Edmonton, Canada 17/05/2020

Stayed for 1 nights on the Sunday of the May long weekend (room 103) It was our first visit since the makeover and we were very impressed with the upgrades. The renovated rooms are very clean and well light with nice amenities including a rainfall shower ! . The front desk staff were a pleasure to deal with and very professional. We had a nice restful night and would recommend this hotel to our friends

"Parking problems"

ldemoissac, Edmonton, Canada 10/03/2020

Overall we were happy with the stay, it was clean and quiet. Beds were comfortable. We did have an issue however as we arrived late at night in a snowstorm and the entire parking lot was full, and people already double parked, parking along the curbs and sides of hotel. We needs to having to park down the roads, down a hill and walking about 2 blocks in the snow. Worries about where I parked and tie away policies ect. I did voice concern to the check in staff that did not seem concerned nor did the apologize for not having a parking spot on property. The room was way overpriced for a Best Western and after the parking issue I wouldn't be in a hurry to book here again despite the overall cleanliness and comfort.

Kent Sjolin, General Manager at Best Western Wayside Inn, responded to this review
Thank you for taking the time to let us know about your stay at the hotel. I am sorry to hear about the parking issues that you had. Parking isn't typically an issue. The hotel is on a very large lot with parking on all sides of the hotel including a very large truck parking lot on the north side of the hotel. With that being said, I'm disappointed to hear that you were inconvenienced with a longer walk than should have been necessary. I am happy to hear the rest of your stay was enjoyable once you were in the hotel. I hope that you will consider us again the next time you are in town, we'd love to see you again.

You defiantly don't get what you pay for. No complementary Breakfast / Coffee service. rooms were small, fitness room didn't have much for fitness. as someone who spends most of their time working out of town. this hotel did not meet my needs.

KSjolin, General Manager at Best Western Wayside Inn, responded to this review
Thank you for choosing to stay at the Best Western Wayside Inn during your recent visit to Wetaskiwin. Thank-you also for completing our guest survey. Your business is very important to us and we value your feedback. By telling us what you liked about your stay and how we can improve, you are helping us deliver a superior experience for you and other guests in the future. On behalf of our entire team, I would like to apologize for not exceeding your expectations. Your satisfaction is important to us and we will be using the feedback you gave us to implement improvements to ensure we offer a better experience for guests in the future. Our on site restaurant offers full breakfast and is open at 6:30 am. Were you looking to eat before that time? We offer a great bed & breakfast package that includes a coupon for a full hot served breakfast to our rooms guests.. At only 5.00 per breakfast coupon, it's a great value. I'm very sorry if you weren't made aware of this. In regard to the fitness room, I'm wondering if you are confusing us with another hotel. Our fitness room is not large, but it does have a treadmill, elliptical machine, stationary bike, a weight training station and free weights. Again not large, but pretty comparable to any hotel fitness room. Any suggestions for additional equipment would be great. Thank you again for taking the time to complete the survey and we hope to see you again! Sincerely, Kent Sjolin General Manager BEST WESTERN Wayside Inn

"Hotel suffers from bar patron access issues"

2
Albertabound10, Spruce Grove, Canada 20/02/2020

Stayed here one night with my family. The one thing going for this hotel is the attention to detail that the housekeeping staff have. Folded towel swans on your bed when you arrive. However; my wife was using the business computers late at night and was creeped on by a drunk bar patron who wandered into the hotel lobby. Kept trying to have a creepy conversation with her that she declined several times, (where you from? From around here? Yech!) and wasn't getting the message. Hid in a blind corner of the hotel for her to come around the corner and have a chat...lurking. Drunk guests coming from the bar can gain easyaccess to the guest room areas that are not secured like in other places with keycards to use the doors and elevators. No hotel security at all--just a lonely front desk agent that supposed to handle these issues herself. Doing her best. Not sure how that's supposed to work or be safe. The hotel management was responsive the day after to our scary incident here by comping the room and providing some bonus BW points. But the issues that Wetaskiwin itself faces, increases in crime are front and centre. Lots of options in other towns nearby, all more affordable than this place and will not be staying in Wetaskiwin again. Management was responsive yes, but would prefer they take measures to secure their property from this happening again.

KSjolin, General Manager at Best Western Wayside Inn, responded to this review
Thank you for taking the time to let us know about your visit to the hotel. Please accept my apologies for any discomfort you felt during your stay at the hotel. It is not uncommon to have a pub or lounge within a hotel. Our pub offers a great atmosphere, local craft beer selection, wine menu and upscale pub menu. We also offer gaming opportunities in our VLT gaming room and off track wagering. Many of our guests enjoy their experience within our pub as noted in previous surveys, but I'm sorry this was not the case for yourself. I hope that we have the opportunity to have you visit the hotel again sometime and that you have a much more enjoyable stay. K. Sjolin GM BW Wayside Inn

I loved this hotel. It truly stands behind the name Best Western and they value you as a customer. The only thing I missed was the breakfast included in the cost, which makes it a little more expensive than I would like, but overall was still good value for a beautiful hotel stay.

When we first arrived, we were greeted by friendly front desk clerk who was able to answer our question. The place does not have a pool but there is free access down the road to one. No free breakfast but for 5.00 voucher you can go to the restaurant in the hotel for a hot breakfast. The breakfast and quantities of food was great. Rooms were very clean plus a towel ornament on the bed when we came in. Just a great personal touch. Beds are comfortable in the room we stayed in. Would stay here again.

"Should be a Best Western Plus"

PapaSteveF, Johannesburg, South Africa 25/08/2019

We have family in Wetaskiwin and had a small family reunion of sorts two weeks ago. I booked three rooms for my wife and I, and my two adult children and their spouses. Check in was fast and on time. Rooms were well appointed with refrigerator, microwave, television, coffee service and many other amenities. Hotel is serviced with a great restaurant and pub. The staff really were outstanding and express checkout was too easy. My son and his wife brought the dogs who were welcome and used the rear entrance near the alley to run and play (supervised of course)! We usually stay at the super8 for the pool but will return to the Wayside Inn instead - our new home in Wetaskiwin.

"Best Ever Western"

User 27/07/2019

We asked at the front desk why this hotel was not considered a Best Western Plus because it had everything we wanted. The room was a little small but perfectly comfortable and very clean, and we really enjoyed the full hot breakfast in the restaurant as opposed to the usual breakfast bar fare. Although the hotel was located on the highway, it was completely soundproof. Because we are Best Western members, we stay at a lot of these hotels and the one in Wetaskiwin definitely ranks near the top. Highly recommended.

Stan D, Calgary 24/07/2019

We found this to be a very pleasant hotel from the moment we checked in, until we checked out the next morning. Very good value for the money, all aspects of the room had been updated. Nice "extras" - cookies in the room, wine opener and glasses, plenty of coffee packages. The breakfast the next morning for $5 was an extremely good value. Nice touch to offer a $5 coupon to use in the lounge - these days little "perks" are few and far between when one travels!

"Couldn't have been better"

Elinor F, Invermere, Canada 20/07/2019

We asked the front desk manager why this hotel is not rated as a Best Western Plus because it was so comfortable and the breakfast was a full hot meal in the restaurant. She said it had something to do with the size of the rooms. Ours was spacious and had everything we wanted including a nice new double shower. One thing I appreciated was that the TV remote was cleaned and kept in a little bag for freshness. The hotel was also very soundproof, and even sitting in the restaurant next to the Main Street, we could not hear any traffic noise. We stay in a lot of Best Westerns so we know what to expect. This went beyond the norm.

from the moment you walk in the door the staff go out of their way to make you feel at home. I am so grateful that they allow my dog to stay and they all welcome him as well. I have eaten in the Rest several times the food is consistent and staff friendly. Try their Summer Salad it is Delicious.

"Great stay!!!!!!"

User 24/05/2019

Coming to a lil city, I never thought that they would have such a great hotel here. The front desk and all the staff are great!! They try without trying. Did i say the staff are great? Rooms wonderful and I've stayed here 4 times in a couple months in all different rooms. The food is so good, you have to try the breakfast and the burgers and fries are bomb. It has a bar place that i never checked out, it looks nice. In conclusion, I would definitely come here again.

Thank you so much for the kind words. We appreciate you taking the time to let us know about your stay. We have completed extensive renovations over the last 4 years, so I am very happy to hear our improvements have had such a positive effect. Our Pub, Barney's Pub and Grill is a great place to relax over a cold beverage, try some of our upscale pub food, or try your luck in our gaming room. With summer rolling in, the patio is also a very popular feature! Thank you again for your business and I hope we see you again soon K.Sjolin GM BW Wayside Inn

I think the hotel (at least some of the rooms) has been recently renovated. Check in was easy and friendly. Our room was spotlessly clean and well appointed, including some complimentary cookies, enough coffee, and a nice note from housekeeping. We didn't try the restaurant but it looked decent. The neighbourhood isn't anything special but we were told our car was safe in the parking lot, which it was. They're clearly trying to be a comfortable and easy place to stay and it's clearly working.

User 10/09/2018

We were quite surprised by the quality of this hotel because, based on the price, our level of expectation wasn't set extremely high. The room was very clean and new looking. There were many amenities such as cookies and mints, all the necessary shower needs, coffee maker and we must state we like when the glasses and cups are seal-wrapped. Certainly would return, if in the area

When I booked the hotel over the phone they were fantastic and a week before we arrived I received a e-mail what expect when we arrived. It was a nice touch and the hotel was excellent. Very modern and the room was great with a fantastic rain shower. The staff in the hotel was great and very friendly, very comfortable bed also.

"A SUPER SURPRISE"

User 09/09/2018

Here we go again people. In Wetaskiwin for a business meeting, a colleague and I were booked into the Best Western Wayside. The hotel is lovely, the room was super clean, with plenty of toiletries, a great TV and an absolutely comfortable bed. However, back to check in. It was quite an easy process, but the card machine is knackered so it took a while for my details to go through. You also get a voucher for breakfast and if you used either the bar (which is a public one) or the restaurant you get a small discount. We went for a pint (or three) and had some scoff which was tasty and plentiful. The bartender didn't ask if we had a voucher (which gives five bucks off) and we forgot so felt right properly seen off when we realised, however the front desk were brill and refunded us the dosh the following morning. Breakfast was wicked, really tasty and set us up for the meeting. Check out procedure was easy peasy, but the card machine was still screwed! All in all a really pleasant experience (one million times better than the Travelodge I stayed in a while back). I would certainly recommend this hotel to anyone and will definitely use it again if I am ever in need of accommodation in the area.

KSjolin, General Manager at Best Western Wayside Inn, responded to this review
Thank you for taking the time to let us know about your experience at the hotel. I am happy to hear you enjoyed the time you spent with us. We don't typically ask our guests in our pub about the voucher simply because we have a very large local customer base. Although we love treating our hotel room guests with a bit of discount in our pub, we wouldn't want our local guests to feel slighted. I am happy to hear our Front Desk Agents were able to make things right for you. Next time your are in town, I hope you will stop in again. The pints are always cold and our staff are always ready to make you feel welcome! K.Sjolin GM Best Western Wayside Inn

My wife and I returned to this hotel and once again in May 2018 and enjoyed our stay there. Our room very clean, modern, quiet and comfortable.

It was very good. Thanks again for another enjoyable stay!

Small room and no amenities for the price,room was clean and updated!, you can hear ever noise from your neighbor, no pool. Restaurant food was OK wait staff was good. Hotel smelled like cig and vap smoke, it traveled into your room from people smoking at back door. Make sure you lock your car door people hanging around trying to bum money and sell things. Doors are slamming all day and all night.

Stayed at Wayside Inn in Wetaskiwin this past weekend. The hotel has been refurbished on the interior and the exterior is currently under refurbishment. We found it to be very good- the staff were very nice and helpful. The bar served an excellent meal and the breakfast (not complimentary) was just okay but the bacon tasted a little old. The room was very clean and well appointed with a walkin shower.

"No elevator!!!"

buenaviaje, Medicine Hat, AB 12/08/2017

This otherwise nice hotel has no elevator. In 2017. My 90 year old mother dragged herself up and down a flight of stairs and I carried her walker up and down a flight of stairs every time we went in or out.. Not acceptable to that portion of Albertans and Canadians who are disabled. There is no excuse in 2017! Impacted on our stay considerably.

KSjolin, General Manager at Best Western Wayside Inn, responded to this review
I am sorry to hear of the inconvenience your mother faced during your stay. As you may have noticed, we have some construction underway at the hotel. Part of that construction is the addition of an elevator that will service our second floor guest rooms; as well as the lower floor banquet rooms. Adding an elevator to an existing hotel is not a small project, but we understand how important of an addition it will be to those who have limited mobility. We are hoping that construction will be complete and our new elevator operational in December of this year. Again my apologies and I hope we have the opportunity to have you back at the hotel once our renovations are complete. K.Sjolin GM Best Western Wayside Inn

tpascal, Edmonton 11/08/2017

Had a great stay. There are reno's going on, however it didn't affect my stay. My room was a little small, stay on main floor. AC didn't work at first, had to call service guy, and it still didn't work so they gave me a fan. Later that evening I tried turning on AC and it worked this time, I reported it to the front desk, I think there may be a short in wiring or something. Location was easy to find with lots of parking. I ordered Dominos Pizza and it was awesome with fast delivery. Great hotel, will come again.

"Enjoyed my stay"

User 10/08/2017

Stayed at the hotel for 4 nights, and despite it being under construction I loved my stay. The hotel staff were friendly, and the room was comfortable. I always like when rooms have the addition of a little wooden table, because it is handy for lazy people like me to put my laptop on it and watch from the bed. The tv had great channels, don't get me wrong, but I am a confirmed Netflix addict. Which leads me to my second point- the internet was fantastic. No delay in streaming, no problems at all, and that is a big plus in my book. When I did get down to the gym facilities I was pleasantly surprised - it was quite nice! Good amount of equipment and mats, and the tv was nice and large with good volume so you can easily distract yourself with a good show and forget about your burning muscles. The addition of the cookies in the room was also a nice treat; I looked forward to the cookies when I got back to the hotel after a long day. If I have to say anything negative, it would be the lack of continental breakfast and the rain shower. The rain shower is not my preference, but it was different than what I expected and not enough for me to think negatively on my stay. As for the continental, I always bring oatmeal anyway in my bag so simply used the in-room microwave for breakfast. Again, wasn't really a bother. Overall, I would recommend.

The hotel was very nice. Wish the bathroom had a tub instead of a shower but other than that the room was great. The staff was very friendly. The room was really clean.

Stayed for 1 night on July 1st , check in was quick and efficient , the trainee at the front desk was very pleasant and knowledgeable about the facilities{even remembered to offer express check out} The room was very clean and well appointed ,with a coffee maker & supplies, mini fridge , bathrobes and cookies. The bed was very comfortable . The only issues we had were minor ones, on the clock radio the volume didn't work and the alarm had been set to 12:30 am which gave us quite a start when it went off, the wall are fairly thin so we could hear the people in the nest room talking . All in all it was a pleasant stay and we would return in the future

User 19/09/2016

We stayed two nights and for our family of 2 parents and 2 teens the room was very squishy.. especially after we added a cot to the room. Bathroom sink is across from the small bathroom and offers no space for our toiletries. But it was fairly modern clean and quiet tho. After we checked out tho I noticed the hotel room deposit was not returned after 7 days. Its been over 2 weeks now and they told me the deposit will not be returned for 3 to 4 weeks. We left the room in good condition and no damages. I'm not impressed the deposit takes so long at Best Western. We've stayed at other hotels and all of them return the deposits 3 or 4 days usually. So we will never use a Best Western again

KSjolin, General Manager at Best Western Wayside Inn, responded to this review
Thank you for taking the time let us know about you stay with us at the hotel. I am sorry to hear you found the accommodations to be a bit cramped. It is always a challenge traveling with a family and especially with an older family like yours. I hope the close corners did not hamper your stay too much. I think there might be some confusion over the hold back on your credit card. We do not take a deposit, but simply put a hold on funds to cover the cost of your stay & a damage deposit. We do not actually charge the card until check out. If you change the method of payment at check out, the hold is released within 3 or 4 days. We do not have any control over that release, as it is performed by your credit card provider. I am sorry to hear this situation has caused any inconvenience for you, but I'm sure a call to your bank will clear things up. If there is anything we can do to help you resolve this issue, please contact us and we would be happy to help. K.Sjolin GM Best Western Wayside Inn

This is a pretty standard BW but the staff were very friendly. I didn't have a reservation but they were still more than happy to put me up for the night. It was a pretty standard room; nothing super interesting about it but it was clean and I could get the temperature where I wanted it (cooler) quite easily without too much nice. I know this sounds strange but I really don't enjoy trying to lower the temperature in a room and have to deal with the banging and clanging and air noise that comes off some A/C units these days. I still like the paper delivered to me in the morning; always a nice touch when I don't have to go to the front desk to request it like in most places. Wasn't satisfied with the coffee but I really wasn't expecting much for room brewed coffee. If you're in the neighbourhood and looking for a place to stay, you'd be worse off staying somewhere other than here.

Thank you for letting TripAdvisor readers know about your experience at our hotel. I am happy to hear we were able to accommodate you during your visit to Wetaskiwin. It was nice to hear you mention the environmental controls in your review. We have just completed guest room renovations and one of the areas we placed a great deal of thought into was the heating and cooling system, ensuring we avoided the very annoying issues at other hotels you mentioned. It's great to hear we were successful! The next time you are in the area, please stop by and visit again, K.Sjolin GM Best Western Wayside Inn

John E, Winfield, Canada 18/09/2016

A good hotel with friendly and helpful staff. We came to the area mainly to visit the Reynolds-Alberta Museum which is located a short driving distance away (about 3km). Later we had dinner in Barney's Pub and found that as well as good food and drinks they also had keno and off track betting.

"Nice surprize"

600seanf, Spruce Grove 14/09/2016

On a recent business trip I stayed at the hotel, I've never visited this town before and didn't have high expectations for the level of accommodation given the proximity to Edmonton. Very nice surprize, the hotel was clean and well taken care of with the rooms providing a level of comfort not normally found in a smaller town. The hotel is much larger than the outside appearance suggests and is very convenient to highway 2. If you're looking for an alternative to staying in Edmonton the travel time to the airport is only 30 minutes so is a consideration if you're looking to avoid the traffic into the city from the airport. The hotel is only 2 km from the Reynolds museum which really is a must see if you're in the area, a remarkable facility that is very interactive for adults and children alike.

KSjolin, General Manager at BEST WESTERN Wayside Inn, responded to this review
Thank you for choosing to stay in Wetaskiwin and at the Best Western Wayside Inn. I happy to hear you enjoyed your stay both in town and at the hotel. It's great to hear you were able to take in the Reynold's Alberta Museum while in town. RAM is a world class museum that truly doesn't get the recognition it deserves. Anyone that visits is always amazed at the quality of the facility and the events it hosts. With every changing exhibits and annual events, visiting RAM is a different experience every time. Thank you again for your business, and I hope you have the opportunity to visit us again soon, K.Sjolin GM Best Western Wayside Inn

"Great Hotel"

Richard G, Calgary, Canada 10/09/2016

Good room, friendly staff.Room clean except for a little dust. could not set clock but it didn't matter. Reported this at checkout and they said they would look into it and put new clock in. Could have provided TV information instead of guest doing trial and error to see what channels were available.

KSjolin, General Manager at BEST WESTERN Wayside Inn, responded to this review
Thank you for taking the time to let us know about your stay at the Best Western Wayside Inn. I am happy to hear you enjoyed your visit with us. Our tv remotes offer a channel guide button, but of course not every channel on the guide is available to hotel guests. Offering guests a list of available channels is a great idea and something we will look into. Again thank you for your business and I hope we see you again soon, K.Sjolin GM Best Western Wayside Inn

"Small but very well appointed"

Belt Drive Bett... C, Grande Prairie, Canada 23/08/2016

This Best Western is a small hotel that packs a pretty big punch. The room I was in was tiny but had everything a person could want, a fridge, TV, ironing board, hair dryer and a comfy bed. The restaurant was decent albeit the service was slow. The bar/lounge was a hopping place. The place is very clean and the staff are very friendly.

KSjolin, General Manager at BEST WESTERN Wayside Inn, responded to this review
Thank you for staying at the hotel during your recent visit to Wetaskiwin and the Reynold's Alberta Museum.

"Forget the points get the fruit tray"

Sean J, Port Coquitlam, Canada 17/08/2016

This was not my first trip to this location but I was looking forward to it. Since I was here last there have been some upgrades to the rooms which were very well done. The staff are very friendly and the facility is clean. If you are a best western rewards member forego the extra points and take the snack. It's a wonderful fruit tray big enough for 2 to share and it was delicious. The mattress was super comfy and I had a great night's sleep. The restaurant that is onsite serves good food. It was all you can eat roast beef dinner for $14.95 my first night with a monstrous yorkshire pudding. This also came with a salad bar and ice cream. The second night was prime rib which was a large piece exactly how I wanted it. I will be staying here again in the near future, you should as well.

KSjolin, General Manager at BEST WESTERN Wayside Inn, responded to this review
Thank you for being a frequent guest to our hotel. We appreciate our loyal Best Western Elite Rewards members and are happy to show that appreciation with our welcoming fruit tray. I am happy to hear you have enjoyed dining in the hotel, I will be sure to pass on your kind feedback to our restaurant and kitchen staff. Thank you again for your business and we look forward to your next visit, K. Sjolin GM Best Western Wayside Inn

Kelly F, Red Deer County, Canada 08/08/2016

Very nice room, has been renovated recently. I didn't see an elevator in the hotel so keep that in mind in room requests if you are unable to use stairs. My room looked out onto a very pretty courtyard.

Terry Morris M, Abingdon 25/07/2016

Hotel was great. Breakfast was to be included at time of booking and upon arrival it became available for a price of 2 for $15.00. Other than that the staff was great and hotel was in a great location to a lot of amenities. The rooms were very clean and very comfortable beds. Tv was lacking on watchable channels.

KSjolin, General Manager at BEST WESTERN Wayside Inn, responded to this review
Thank you for visiting Wetaskiwin and taking in the NasCar racing at Edmonton International Raceway, located 5 km out of town. I am happy to hear your stay with us was enjoyable. I do apologize however if there was any miscommunication in regard to our Bed and Breakfast rate. The Bed and Breakfast rate is a separate rate and not an additional charge, but it is based on our standard room rate. The Bed and Breakfast rate is 5.00 higher than our standard room rate and includes hot breakfast in our restaurant for 2. Each additional guest after the first 2 is an additional 5.00. Four guests in a room would add 15.00 to the standard room rate. It is still a great value, as you will receive 48.00 value in gift certificates for breakfast. Edmonton International Raceway features races every Sat until mid September, so I hope you will consider visiting us again before the summer is over.

Cheryl D, Delta, Canada 19/07/2016

Doesn't look like much from the outside, but rooms were very nice. clean and contemporary. Limited menu items for good, but what we had was good. Has a bar and a restaurant so no need to go far. Better than most for service as Best Westerns go!

KSjolin, General Manager at BEST WESTERN Wayside Inn, responded to this review
Thank you for choosing to stay with us while visiting Wetaskiwin. Thank you also for taking the time to provide some feedback about your experience with us. I am happy to hear you enjoyed the accommodations and our food and beverage outlets. We often hear that people are surprised when they arrive inside the hotel, how nice the interior is. We are in the midst of a 3 year renovation plan and as part of those renovations the exterior of the hotel will undergo a very nice face lift. We are all very much looking forward to bumping up our curb appeal to match the interior of the property.

Linda C, Okotoks, Alberta, Canada 19/02/2016

The rooms are very comfortable, and have everything you need to relax in after a long day. The wifi worked much better this time than the last time I stayed here, so I was most pleased with that. The buffets in the restaurant were awesome! Lots to choose from, all you can eat and priced a very reasonable cost.

KSjolin, General Manager at BEST WESTERN Wayside Inn, responded to this review
Thank you for choosing to stay with us. It's always great to hear from our return guests and get feedback on the improvements that we have made at the hotel. I am especially happy to hear that our new wireless network is working well. We understand how important a strong and reliable wifi connection is to today's guest and made that one of our first priorities as we renovated the hotel. I hope you found the rest of the room upgrades satisfactory as well. Thank you again for your business & we look forward to your next visit, K.Sjolin GM Best Western Wayside Inn

Exceptional experience , great staff, great selection of food items on restaurant and bar menu. The outside of the hotel looked a little tired but the inside was awesome and well accented. The stay was well worth the money and convenient to the locations I needed to be at each day.

Jennifer S, Calgary, Canada 31/08/2015

The staff was very pleasant, and the room was good value for the amount paid. The only issues were the cleaning staff left dirty cleaning towels in our room, and it took a long time for the shower to start providing hot water.
