Location was great, but the rooms and the common areas were not as clean as one would expect. The breakfast was good but note that it’s not full breakfast, you get an item per person. Lastly, we went with a toddler, it would been nice to be away from the stairs where people were hanging out/ smoking (which the smell was coming on the room).

We went with our dogs, paid extra, and put in a room that had obviously had dogs before bec it wasn't clean, and then cleaning service made no effort to clean our room til 3rd day after i complained twice. I paid for my dogs to stay and i expect service for my money...The restaurant menu was more gourmet, ...seemed they forgot it was smokey mtns in Tennessee, not some cafe in Paris...keep it simple and serve straight up normal breakfast...

My girlfriend and I stayed at The Wayback for a night before mountain biking at Ober Mountain, and it was perfect. The location is great, the staff was friendly, and the retro vibe made it feel unique and fun. We’ll definitely be back!

Shower was mostly clean however there was some soap scum left over from previous tenants, I also HATE that the bathroom door just slides over the opening but the sides are still open so you can hear EVERYTHING in the bathroom, also, the mattress was so hard that I woke up crying in pain because of my back (and that’s coming from someone who occasionally sleeps in the floor at home). Love the soaps/bodywash/hair products

It’s wasn’t what I expected the rooms were okay. The service at the restaurant was good definitely different cuisine we had dinner there it was good breakfast not so much. Rooms where dirty attention to detail would work favors for them. Also I had to pay an upfront charge to keep my booking which was not mentioned on the app it said I could pay at the hotel and also there was a holding fee that was not upfront either. Overall would I stay here again probably not good location but that’s about it.
