Loved this property! Small but clean and very well maintained. Breakfast had hot and cold options. 2 restaurants next door and a convenience store across the street. Would highly recommend the Viking Restaurant next door. Family run and great daily specials. Try the catch of the day!

Everything’s very good here except two things. There are no counter tops in the bathroom (minor) and the tubs are very slippery and the rounded shape of the bottom of the tub could easily create a significant slip hazard.

We paid for a queen bed and it was not a queen. A glorified double maybe. I asked and the reception confirmed it is a queen. Maybe the Queens in Wawa are very petite.... but it was not a queen. The breakfast area was small and nobody was clearing and cleaning the tables when guests left, so my wife and I had to do that ourselves, just to sit down. NOT good.

I stayed a few hotels for this trip, but Big Bird Wawa was an Inn, and it was the best of the bunch. The staff was friendly and helpful. The room was very comfortable. Shower temperature was just right. The dining area was so nice. The breakfast was perfect. It offered regular breakfast fare, but it had hot items, which some of the continental breakfasts don’t. There was hot sausages, pastries, coffee, tea. I wasn’t able to have breakfast fully as I had to get on the road quickly. But what I had, hit the spot. I would definitely stay at Big Bird Wawa again and I would recommend it to friends/family. Thoroughly enjoyed my stay.
