Wayside Inn Bed and Breakfast

I’m going to be honest, we chose this inn because of the historic aspect and the things we read and seen online. definitely very outdated pictures and right up’s. We wanted the historic inn and a weekend in historic Ellicot City. We paid over $600 for 2 nights, including a bottle of wine and a cheese platter. None of it was as advertised. The inn is beautiful..it needs a LOT of TLC inside and out. The inside was a bit of a disappointment because there is not a “historic” vibe anywhere except for the exorbitant creaking of the floors. The decorating is a bit strange and does not fit the bones of the beautiful house. We stayed in the Ellicot Room on the second floor. The house advertises a sunroof deck to sit and relax but the window in our bedroom is open for anyone on the deck to stare right in over our bedroom. No window treatments to close at alll!!! Not private in any way, shape or form. How is that ok? The rainforest shower was moldy, the 2 person jetted tub leaked around the cracked tiles of the faucet, the sink leaked all over the vanity from the faucet, and the air conditioning is pretty non existent in that room. Again, just not as expected. The $35 cheese platter wasn’t worth $20. The owner, Joe, is nice enough. Seems to lack the fine art of paying attention to small details though. I would love to tell our friends and family to book a stay but at this time, I just can not. There are cheaper, nicer places to stay in the area. I would have loved to see this place 20 years ago.

Quaint little B&B. Breakfast was delicious, room was a good size, parking was easy, and host was great. It's an older property and had older (1980's?) soft furniture (couches) which made the whole place smell a bit like my grandmothers house. I was surprised that in early Oct that there wasn't a place to sit. It looked like the outside are was shut down for the season.

Wayside Inn in Ellicott City, MD is a beautiful 18th century home. The owner / host is great. We stayed on the third floor. Even though it is very close to a freeway, we were not bothered by any noise. The food was delicious. Our group of three had a small separate dining room to ourselves. The home is charming and full of period pieces, but bathrooms have been modernized and the beds were very comfortable. This was much more fun than being in a hotel. Definitely worth checking out.

A nice stay! I had an overall good experience at the wayside Inn. I just felt like it was dated and sort of disjointed. For example, a massage chair In the living room seemed very out of place. There was also some Christmas decorations still up That just seem to be forgotten and it is September. However, it was the most comfortable bed. I have slept iin a very long time! Joe was very nice and the end was special. I just think it would take not a lot of effort to make it seem more charming. I would still say again!

Perfect getaway Well worth the getaway. Joe was engaging and provided a beautifully presented and delicious breakfast. Looking forward to a return engagement!

Great place! The Inn is clean and comfortable. Breakfast and coffee was very good. The location is perfect for visiting Old Ellicott City and Meriwether Post events. Definitely a bargain and so much nicer than the namebrand hotels! Highly recommend!
