We ended up in a stuff room with old carpets and furniture. It needed to be aired out multiple times a day. The shower had poor pressure and the bathroom sink knobs were very difficult to turn. Heating the room was a constant issue as it would make the CO2 alarm sound.

Wayside was a fun stay. The kitchen came in handy as did the fireplace, as the weather started to get cold in the evenings. Across the street is rise and shine (a breakfast spot). All in a 5 minute walk in every direction there are wine tasting rooms, shopping, food, art galleries, and more. Make reservations for everything you really want to do. It’s a small town that is big on tourism.
