Guest Reviews
- Debbie (10/5): -
- Louis (8/5): I highly recommend it. - I highly recommend it.
The hotel is located in a quiet setting.
The staff is knowledgeable.
The room is comfortable and clean, and the mattress is very comfortable.
Heating/air conditioning is very quiet (a rarity) and easy to use.
Good lighting and a comfortable reading chair.
Large mini-fridge with freezer space.
Breakfast is served at the table and consists of a single, very hearty dish.
2 eggs, choice of meat, roasted potatoes, toast, and various spreads.
Photo The pillows were much too big for my taste; I slept uncomfortably.
There was a single, thinner pillow that I hadn’t noticed, tucked away in the closet.
The fridge in this room is located near the head of the bed; despite its soft hum, I had to sleep with earplugs.
- Rick (10/5): Good location - Friendly front desk and restaurant had good selection.
Good value! Nothing
- MARIANNA (8/5): We will return if we have to go that way again. - Breakfast was excellent lots of choices. However it is not included in the price of the room. The bathroom was really tiny but the rain shower absolutely wonderful.
- White (10/5): Iwant refund -
- Cuthbert (9/5): -
- Jessica (10/5): -
- Harvey (8/5): We would definitely come back. - Very clean and a very nice room. We especially liked the bathroom set up.
- Robert (9/5): - Very tidy hotel, clean and well appointed.
- Vivian (9/5): -
- Cuthbert (10/5): -
- Arlene (10/5): -
- Jodi (7/5): - Clean. Nice room. Cold rooms despite the heat being set on thermostat.
- Patricia (10/5): I would definitely stay a little longer next time I am through the area. - The room was great. The location was great. The beds were comfortable. I had a restful night. It was quiet. The coffee was a delight first thing in the morning. The shower was refreshing and great pressure for a great comfort for the weary bones.
- Stephen (10/5): A+ - It was great, got a voucher. Location was easy to get in with long trailer. Wish restraunt would of stayed open later., I would of liked air conditioning, should of checked for a fan.
- Dianne (10/5): -
- Margaret (8/5): - The breakfast was very good. Some bozo was smoking in the Non-smoking room before we were rented the room. I hoped they were fined! The staff were kind about it and took care of us though.
- Karen (10/5): The property was clean and comfortable. - The property was clean abd quite
- André (7/5): -
- Elizabeth (7/5): Overall, I would go back but request a room not in that particular hallway. - Barneys Pub and Grill had fantastic food, as well as the breakfast at O'Brians was good. The breakfast voucher was a little confusing as it seemed we were getting a deal but the voucher for $16 per person only got us the breakfast that was $15.99 - if we ordered anything else we were told the price would be added - so really the voucher was not necessary. I was not overly impressed with the amount of people leaving the pub and instead of going out the pub door, people vacated the building via the hotel hallway which passes rooms. My room was unfortunately on the corner for the back door where people were exiting. Unnecessary door slamming which was not by paying hotel guests and the rooms are too expensive for this noise.
- Trent (7/5): Best Wetaskiwin Has?! - Clean and friendly staff. Connected to a Grill/Pub is convenient. The mattress was just way to gooshy for our backs and honestly the price was way overpriced at nearly $200 CA/$160 USD for a very tiny room in a very old but updated property.
- Ben (1/5): Horrible - I had a guest that only had a tea saying he did not want breakfast. He was still charged for the full breakfast. Horrible rip off. Not well trained staff who did not know how the POS works.
- Kayla (10/5): - There for a wedding. We loved it
- Carmen (10/5): - Great hospitality!
- Jenna (9/5): Excellent. - The staff were amazing and very friendly and accommodating. We enjoyed our stay and like the restaurant. We had a view of the Barney's Fountain, which was nice. The room was a little smaller, but I booked a king bed room and should have booked a queen or suite room as I had a busy 6year old with me. :)
- Mark (10/5): - Hotel quality exceeded expectations and staff was extremely nice and helpful. Barney's was a great place to grab a meal and it was only steps from our room.
- Linda (10/5): - The pub onsite “Barney’s” has excellent food and the waitresses, Michelle and Dani, were very personal and fun!! The beds and pillows were so comfortable as well. Everything you need in the rooms. We will definitely come back.
- Dennis (9/5): -
- Marinda (4/5): - The tv did not work so no tv. Gave me discount of 16 90 thats all. Was very inconvenient.
- Spence (8/5): -
- Amy (10/5): - Good
- beata (9/5): -
- Francesca (10/5): - Clean, safe. Comfortable bed. Really friendly staff in the lounge. Decent food & wine. Great front desk staff & a very good deal on a nice breakfast. I was here on my own, senior female. I would stay here again.
- Sheldon (6/5): - Rooms are good, the lady who checked me in was phenomenal but the staff the next morning from both the restaurant and the front desk were definitely not happy to be at work in the morning and less than impressed to have to do their jobs. I booked 11 rooms direct with the hotel for the week after this booking and there was a couple errors, one guy had the wrong checkout date and there was no breakfast vouchers included when they were requested and the lady at the front desk was very rude about having to make any changes. Our company seems to like to use this place and they seem to think they are the only option in town when the lodge across the road is a far better choice.
- Brigitte (10/5): - Vriendelijk personeel
- Kari (10/5): -
- Monique (8/5): Hôtel correct et propre - Hôtel correct
Équipement minimaliste mais propre Les photos de la description avec les tables extérieures ne sont pas accessibles avec juste l’hôtel (pour le piquenique par ex) c’est la terrasse du café restaurant situé au rdv de l’hôtel.
- isabelle (8/5): Très bien pour une halte entre Badlands et Edmonton - L’accueil. Le pub attenant pour y dîner. Le confort de la chambre.le calme.
- Harold (10/5): - I asked if we could plug in our PHEV Pacifica (120volt charger) and they said sure no problem.
The check in was really quick.
- Terry (8/5): - Hotel excellent. Attached restaurant offering breakfast below standard ... salty processed food.
- Joanne (10/5): - No hot tub and pool.
- Jennifer (10/5): Great value, clean, and great staff - We recently stayed at the Wayside Inn to attend a family funeral. We were warmly greeted by Amanda at the front desk, and she gave us our keys and vouchers to the $5 breakfast (regular price is $16). The rooms, while not large, had everything we needed, including an iron/ironing board, hairdryer, a good-sized bar fridge, a built-in desk and chair, and a comfy chair and ottoman. My husband was pleased with the large good-quality TV and channel lineup, which included several sports stations, to his delight! The hotel has two restaurants: O'Briens for breakfast and early lunch, and Barney's Pub for lunch, dinner and beyond (loads of seating at the bar and in the large rooms, as well as a cute little patio - very pleasant staff, as well). I think the even-numbered rooms actually look out on the patio and fountain, while the others look out on the parking lot, which is quiet. The premises were very clean (saw the hall being vacuumed and walls wiped down every day during our 4-days stay), with extra ample elevators and a small but functional exercise room downstairs. The Wayside Inn is within easy walking distance of a Subways and a well-stocked Safeway for groceries (also houses a small Starbuck's for you coffee lovers - opens at 7 a.m.) and several other restaurants. We found all the staff to be very friendly and accommodating. This will definitely be our hotel of choice the next time we're in Wetaskiwin.
- Yves (10/5): - Loved that there was a restaurant and pub in the hotel building. Food was great and staff was very friendly and helpful.
- Jeff (8/5): - Great size room. Breakfast was great!
- Eric (10/5): Exceptional -
- Haley (7/5): Nice - Comfort breakfast No tub
- Nancy (10/5): - The kleenex & toilet paper needs to be a thicker ply. Absolute garbage unless you use 3x of what you would normally use!
Otherwise everything was great!!
- Robert (10/5): - Very friendly, efficient staff. The hotel is clean, comfortable & has great amenities.
- Renata (10/5): - Very nice friendly staff
- Kuben (8/5): Very good -
- Linda (8/5): Great breakfast - It was clean and comfortable.
And has a nice restaurant for breakfast
And a pub for lunch or dinner
Has a little area with some slot machines. The unhoused hanging out at the back entrance doing drugs.
Staff handled it quickly. But maybe better security (cameras) as this is the only door to use with dogs.
It was also odd having the sink outside of the bathroom.
- Roland (10/5): - Great front counter staff, nice clean room and great breakfast option. Great service in the restaurant
- Paula (10/5): - Loved the breakfast lots of transient people
- Teri (10/5): - Absolutely maintained the high standard that we have come to expect with Best Western. Everything was clean and well maintained. Staff was friendly. Breakfast was offered with the room and it was excellent. Highly recommend this hotel.
- John (10/5): - great staff and excellent food
- Cordon (10/5): - Great place to stay
- Jinah (6/5): - The water splashed out of the bathroom too much, and it was uncomfortable.
- Linda (10/5): - All was good, except on leaving, the elevator was not working so had to use stairs. Husband is 80 and has a heart condition. However we made it and all is well We did mention it to the front desk and they said they made a phone call for servicing.
- Mark (10/5): - The staff goes out of their way to be friendly and assist you.

- Kelsey (10/5): Great stay - It was a great stay. We had ro get a cot because we ended up with 1 extra person attending from our family. Staff were very good about helping us. Hotel was booked full other wize we would have booked another room.
Eco friendly is not a priority to me.
The breakfast was excellent and the staff especially Nana our server was really on top of her game.

- Naomi (2/5): - This room was so loud, there was a couple having an altercation at 2 am, kids running around and after asking to be switched rooms they would not accomodate me even though this was a business stay and I needed to sleep before an early morning at work the next day.
- Leandra (9/5): Superb -
- craiglN9858HT (10/5): Good value for price. - Staff was very helpful, very good level of cleanliness overall, food services were good. Room was clean with good internet service and television.

- David (10/5): - Excellent
- John (10/5): - nice place great staff
- Carmen (10/5): - Very comfortable beds.
- Phil (8/5): - Very ver clean rooms. Not too sure about the rain shower. Not my preferred showerhead. Also too low for those 6'2 or taller
- adelemK4161CR (10/5): Kindness and great service at a difficult time. - The wonderful staff made a difficult week much more bearable. I stayed for six nights for my mom’s funeral and having a clean, quiet, comfortable room to retreat to after emotional days made all the difference. The kindness displayed by every single staff person I encountered was exceptional. They obviously care about their work and that translates to our customer experience. I would definitely stay there again and have already recommended it to others.
- Jerry (10/5): - Great place to stop
Hubby said the breakfast was very good
Room was clean and you could actually adjust the heat
- Mark (10/5): - The staff at this hotel are fantastic! From the check-in, front desk staff, housekeeping and servers in both restaurants. We were always met with a smile and utmost attentiveness.
- Kandie-Joe (10/5): - Having both breakfast and dinner options on site was super convenient. The food was amazing! The room and overall cleanliness was top notch. Everyone was very friendly and helpful.
- Josie (8/5): - The room's decor I was in is very tasteful and pleasant.
The bed, the sheets and pillows, I loved, it was so comfortable!
- S7661PZjohnb (10/5): Good value for the dollar. - This hotel is well managed. The front desk and cleaning personnel are very friendly.
The beds are comfortable. For both business and pleasure this is a great spot.
On the business side, there are numerous meeting rooms.. As well weddings can be accommodated here.
There is good restaurant Obrian's which services breakfast and lunch, as well as a large English style pub Barney's which serves good food, late into the night.
Overall good value for the dollar.
- Gary (6/5): Pleasant -
- Laura (8/5): Good value and location with friendly staff - Staff was very friendly, room was small but clean There seemed to be a large number of people in the halls that didn’t appear to be guests of the hotel.
- swO6533WP (10/5): Weekend girls trip - Very clean, comfortable room. Check-in was a breeze. The food in both restaurants was very good and we had excellent service from the restaurant staff. Hotel staff in all areas were friendly, courteous, and respectful. They did an excellent job of looking after a group of 9 ladies.
- Grace (10/5): - Our stay was just a quick overnight for a wedding, but was great. We especially enjoyed having the free breakfast. My only discomfort was that I was chilly during the night. I turned the heat up a smidge, but it didn’t seem to help. In the morning, I discovered extra blankets in the closet.
- Falon (10/5): - Pam at the front desk was very kind and accommodating
- Wanda (10/5): - We had a great stay, friendly staff. Clean rooms. Well run , we would stay here again.
- shannon (10/5): - Friendly and very clean
- Barb (10/5): Comfortable stay at this hotel! - We were in town 3 nights to visit my partner's brother, who recently bought a house a block behind the hotel.
I'm not sure when this hotel had their last renovation, but everything looked brand new, clean, fresh, and modern. Both beds were a bit on the firm side, and we got a good sleep all three nights. The room air conditioning worked well and was quiet. There is a smart tv, so you can't find what you like. You can watch your own Netflix or Prime if you have your password. There was a fridge, microwave, and coffee maker. The toilet and shower are together in one room and sink vanity seperate, so good for getting ready if there's two of you. There is an extending lighted make-up mirror on the wall. There is a large rain shower but no wall shower, so you have to dart around that to turn on the shower, (knob all the way around for hot), if you dont want to wet your hair, but it's doable. We had hot water right away all 3 days. There is a restaurant and large pub, both had great food, you can get a breakfast coupon for $5 for meal value up to $16. The pub has many tvs and comfy seating areas if you dont want to sit at
H the bar. The booths have their own tvs. There's 30 VLTs, Keno, and horse betting as well. Service was top-notch throughout the hotel. Will be back again. Nothing not to like.
- Martin (10/5): - Really enjoyed our stay
- Rhonda (8/5): - friendly staff. chatted with the employee that was out picking up garbage in the parking lot. nice to see them taking such attention to detail even on the outside.
