What an exciting concept and unique style for a hotel. They took an old, run down hotel that probably dated back to the 60's and turned it into a fun, no big frills hotel. Great location, nice pool and hot tub and on site restaurant. We loved the room and parking was easy. The restaurant which has an amazing menu unfortunately had a gas leak so we weren't able to try it (next time because the menu looked fabulous). You really can't go wrong at the Wayback if you understand it is just an old hotel that has had a face lift and offers a great location and fun vibe.

Room was very clean. Great location, short walk to Island, crime museum and comedy barn. Pool was awesome. The only complaint would be parking was a little troublesome. Didn't always have parking close to our room but, was able to adjust without too much difficulty. Over-all experience was good and I would book here again.
