This was the 3rd time we've stayed here. We moved to Tennessee from Palm Springs, Ca. When we found out that this hotel was inspired by Palm Springs, we had to book it, we love this place, our stay was fantastic, food was wonderful, and the drinks were terrific. The only thing that would make it more amazing would be if it was an adult only destination.

We really enjoyed the retro look of the motel! The lobby and restaurant are amazing! Our room was very comfortable and I loved the bathroom and shower. We had our breakfast in the restaurant there and our server, Michele, was awesome. She was so very friendly and accommodating! We enjoyed our breakfast, which was so much better than the continental breakfasts you get at other hotels! We checked out the pool and surrounding pool deck. It was really cool! Loved the look. We hope to go back for a longer visit sometime.

No microwave, no clock of any sort and at check out I wasn't asked if I had a good stay. Won't go back.

We enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay here again! It’s conveniently located (directly across from the Island) which makes it easy to walk or drive to many places along the *****. The drink and breakfast options were great. We loved the retro style as well. The staff was very friendly and super helpful. Highly recommend staying here!

The bar tenders and staff were incredibly kind. I came here for my 21st birthday and they made my trip amazing

I loved the location! It was so easy to walk to many of the places I wanted to try. I even had the chance to walk to Publix (7 mins) when I needed something. The room was cleaned just enough to sleep comfortably in. The shower was pretty dirty with hair and stains from previous guests. I did have to clean the shower before using it. It was also poorly swept and mopped throughout the room. Breakfast was super good. I would refrain from sitting outside, because we were forgotten about one day of our stay and decided to leave. It did give us the opportunity to try a local breakfast spot though! The waiter we had on our first day was fantastic. Pool was great! Service was great (excusing the one day at breakfast)!

We loved our stay at the Way back. Breakfast was cocked to order with top notch quality and great service. Pool and hot tub were great. The staff at the pool were so friendy.

Definitely looked and smelled like a motel. Weird smell in room, hair in bathroom. Dirty and disappointing overall
