4 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 November 2012

It has a 1960's motel layout, brick on the outside, painted cinder block inside, but it is clean with large rooms and a homey feel inside. The bed is big and the couch new. There is a coffee table and tall entertainment center though the tv is small and it's Dish so no Walking Dead. You still get more channels... More

I paid for Friday night in advance and arrived to a clean room Friday. After a couple of hours I asked to be moved to another room as the air conditioner was not cooling the room, She was nice and said if one came available she would change me but they expected to be full, We left the room and...

We stayed here for two nights and would definitely return! It's family owned and operated, which we prefer. The room was nothing fancy but it was big, clean and comfortable. The king bed was very comfortable! We didn't hear any noise from the road. There are picnic tables, grills and fire rings if you want to have a cookout. The... More

We loved our stay here. You might be put off by the cinder block walls of the rooms or the sort of "road-side-ness" of this place, but it was really just what we were looking for. The establishment has a small grocery store, grill, gas station, and rooms to stay in. The room was spacious and clean, the price can't... More

Spotlessly clean - older but nicely refurbished motel with a staff that cannot be beat (family owned and operated). My better half travels extensively for work and I have stayed in countless hotels as a pilot, so we both have a pretty good sense of what we don't like in a lodging establishment, BUT we both agree that we'll be...

We took a motorcycle trip to Fall Creek Falls and we stayed here because of the reviews on their website. It was very clean, cleaner than some of the more expensive hotels weve stayed in. But, I was disappointed in how old it was. The owners have tried to fix it up but it needs a lot of work. Also,... More

Because my wife and I have 4 kids we find it difficult to get a SINGLE room for accomodations. Can get expensive. The WAY INN was awesome! Great price and even had a large room with 3 double beds. Owner came in after hours to assist with check in and had our room all ready. Small playground in great shape.... More

We stayed here on a trip to Fall Creek Falls State Park as a less expensive alternative to staying at the inn in the park. The room, though admittedly "vintage", had been refurbished and was clean and spacious. The bed was very comfortable. The owners were friendly and made us feel very welcome. I wouldn't hesitate to stay there again.

We noticed a few ants when we moved in. The next morning the room was crawling with ants. The cleaning staff said they had told the owner several times but he hadn't treated for them. My sister even had ants crawling on her and in her bed. The playground had a wasp nest in the lower section of the climbing... More
