The Hotel Wayne is truly a historic hotel, having been in continuous operation since 1827,Of course it is dated as we strive hard to maintain its true historic character .But we provide all modern services and conveniences.And we do have an active restaurant on the ground floor which really is never noisy.,

Some people just do not understand that we strive hard ot maintain the historic character of the Hotel Wayne, which has been in continuous operation since 1827.Yes....there is some very minor sloping of some floors.....but after almost 200 years is it very normal as wood shrinks with time.And our carpets are all clean and nice but selected to showcase our historic character.

The staff from the time we checked in till we checked out was very friendly. The room considering the age was nice. The food from their restaurant was absolutely delicious. The only problem we had was sleeping tho. Having a bar downstairs and nothing between it and upstairs the noise from the customers and music was really bad. Saturday night it stayed loud until 2 in am. If they did something like doors between stairs to room and bar to help with noise would be great. We ended leaving early in morning to go home and sleep. Other than noise it really is a nice hotel.

I understand the building is old, but it needs serious updating. The sink is in the room, the shower is small and the toilet is small as well. If you are overweight, you would have been unable to fit in the shower. The carpet was old and dirty. The staff was attentive and mannerable, but the owner needs to readdress the quality. I was told this was the best of the properties he/she owns.

The Hotel Wayne is a truly historic Hotel, having been in continuous operation since 1827, almost 200 years.It was built before there was indoor plumbing...so all the bathrooms were added more than 100 years ago. So they were added where they could.We try very hard to maintain the historic character and the history of the Hotel.As for the carpet, we try hard to maintain the character of the rooms. The carpet was an old style which fits in. But is always kept clean.The heading says the Hotel is in Bethany, PA...that is incorrect.Most people appreciate staying in a truly historic hotel especially one that provides modern amenities and servicesIt seems this guest did not!!!!

Unfortunately I felt extremely unsafe and uncomfortable, like never before in any other hotel. The hotel is looking vintage and nice, but it definitely needs to be taken good care off. Badly smell starts from lobby. The room by itself was just terrible, old, poor, smelled, dirty carpet, broken furniture, cracked walls… I would definitely NOT RECOMMEND to anyone staying in this hotel. I believe that type of property can not be acceptable by the law as a hotel. P.S. 1 night of this experience cost me $244

This review is TOTALLY FALSE.This guest checked in and went to the room. They immediately came to the front desk and said the room was "not satisfactory". We asked why and they did not give us any answer.They requested a refund which we declined as they had already checked in.Then they said that if we don't give them a refund they would write a bad review which clearly was totally false,None of what they say is true, including what they paid for the room. None of our rooms are priced that high.The Hotel Wayne is truly a historic hotel, having been in continuous operation since 1827...almost 200 years.Even though it is old, it is kept in perfect condition while still offering modern service and conveniences with a strong emphasis on cleanliness and sanitation,

Absolutely disgusting! The hotel should be shut down. Board of health should be called. Nasty hotel would never go again. The bathroom vanity with a kitchen faucet was next to the door to the room, sheets where stained everywhere, holes in the towels. One of the grossest places I ever stayed. We actually thought of buy a tent and a air mattress.

The property is historic and the condition of the property reflects that. The bathroom is moldy, the ceiling has water stains, the bed is uncomfortable, the wifi is spotty at best, the A/C didn't work well and the window shades can't be closed without blocking the air flow from the A/C window units.

While I have no issues with staff or the premises in genera there was noise from the bar & radios playing outside until 2:00 a.m.( without exaggerating it was as though there was a party in my room) when I finally placed a call to the desk to complain about the noise. It took about another 20 minutes for the noise outside to stop & another 30 minutes for the loud banter from the bar staff to cease. I'm not overly sensitive & I am not one to put a damper on a good time but this was absolutely ridiculous & I'm sure anyone staying in the hotel at that time would agree.

I understand this is an historical hotel. The floors were weak. No accommodations on the first floor for people who cannot climb stairs. Do not flush while showering means the entire building. Food was mediocre at best. Painting the ceiling tiles to hide water damage was probably the last straw. Renovation is needed before you continue to entertain guest.

The Hotel Wayne is truly a historic Hotel having been in continuous operation since 1827, almost 200 years.Most of our guest truly appreciate the opportunity to stay in a truly historic hotel but I guess this one did not.It is true that we do not have any guest rooms on the first floor. We identify that clearly on our website and in all communications.As far as maintenance, we maintain the highest standards which includes regular painting. It is hard to imagine a guest who complains about that.Our restaurant is very successful and offers a wide variety of dishes to accommodate all our guests. We get consistent excellent reviews and our guests are always very satisfied.
