The property was nice! Not as walkable to the areas we wanted to visit, but that was our fault for not planning better. There’s still quite a few things to do around this property. Overall, the balcony was great, parking was easy, check in and check out was quick, they were very accommodating for our Great Pyrenees also.

My wife, my dog and and I had a great stay at the Wayside Inn. The Inn is just a short walk from a beautiful beach with easy access to great views of Cannon Beach's Haystack Rock. The town of Cannon Beach is a leisurely walk down the beach or a meandering walk through the neighborhood. The staff was very welcoming and provided a basket of dog supplies for our puppy. We look forward to staying at the Wayside Inn on our next visit to the area.

I had a wonderful stay at the Wayside Inn. The beds were incredibly comfortable, making it easy to relax and get a great night’s sleep. My room featured a cozy fireplace, which added a warm and inviting touch to the experience. The location is perfect, just a short walk to the beach. The staff were exceptionally friendly and welcoming. A delightful bonus was the fresh chocolate chip cookies available in the evenings, which made the stay feel even more homey. Housekeeping did a fantastic job, with the room made up daily and kept spotless throughout my visit. Overall, the Wayside Inn provided comfort, charm, and excellent service.

Hotel was nice and clean, great toiletries and comfy beds. Our room had an odd smell but it was clean. The staff was impeccable! Full of kindness and recommendations. The only food place in the immediate area was Mo’s which was ok. You’ll need to dine in town before 8 pm since everything closes around that time. There is a really good market across the street that has a little bit of everything, including medicine. As the closest stores will be in seaside I found. Eat at The Lazy Susan or Pig N Pancake for breakfast. If you’ve got neighbors above you be prepared to hear them stomp on the floors while they’re awake. That was my only real complaint was the noise of other hotel guests stomping all day long. Welling distance to cannon beach, safe, clean and beautiful views!

The hotel is super cute. We were able to upgrade our room from a double queen to one bedroom with 2 queen beds, 2 bathrooms, kitchenette and pull out sofa. The property is nice, conveniently located across the street from the beach and across the street from a small grocery store. It is a perfect spot for a small family.

The hotel is a good choice if you want to stay in proximity of the beach. The building and the property feels a little dated. The property is located across the street from a public parking lot that has beach access and a restaurant. Good ocean views from the room if you are on the top floor though building does not have elevator. Room was clean with decent amenities. It feels a bit dated but you're mostly paying for the view.

Location

Location across from beach access earns strong praise, with many rooms facing the ocean and Haystack Rock a pleasant walk away; a grocery store and a few eateries are steps away. It’s on the quieter south end, a short drive from downtown Cannon Beach.

We wanted a dog-friendly motel at the beach for a rainy couple of days, and Wayside Inn filled the bill. Their pet basket contained sheets to cover both beds, a pet towel, treats and poop bags and our dog felt right at home. It's so nice to sit at the table and look out over the ocean, even if there's a parking lot in between the motel and the shore. Plus, chocolate chip cookies in the office!
