What Guests Say

Property building in Sideways Inn

Charmingly quirky grounds with fire pits. Nice staff and clean rooms. The Sideways Lounge is a bar/hangout with a modified Airstream trailer in the parking lot service sausages and other pub fare. They allow pets, which is a plus for some folks, but not so great if you don't like barking dogs in the middle of the night.

I loved the look of this hotel, so cute. We had a balcony room and it was gorgeous. I loved the decoration and how clean everything was. They offered breakfast in the morning too straight to your door.

The staff was very friendly upon arrival and checkout and our room was wonderful, clean, the shower head was extra high for my tall husband and the water pressure was excellent especially for a hotel. I love that our room was right on the pool the jacuzzi was nice and hot and we utilized the fire pit after purchasing a s’mores kit in the lobby for my daughter. We will definitely stay here again!

We loved how accessible everything was. Front lobby was open and helpful anytime of day. The gym was awesome, full of any gym equipment you might need. The bar was top notch, and reasonably priced. The staff was super friendly and attentive. We did not get a chance to eat there, but having food available is a great option should you want a quick bite to eat while on location. We also, did not use the fire pits while there. However, when they were lit closer to evening time they were pretty to look at. The pool was also a welcomed amenity on the hot summer day. The complimentary continental breakfast was a welcomed treat in the morning as we started our day. I really like how they deliver it to your room. They give you a choice of: (donut, croissant, English muffin or hard boild egg) with a fruit: (apple or orange), juice: (cranberry or orange), and if you are traveling with a dog, there is an option for a dog treat for them, too. They give you 2 free comp breakfasts. If you have more than 2 people in your room, you can purchase more. It's super easy to order, you just scan the QR code in the room. There was plenty of parking when we went, in mid- August. We read reviews where they said the entrance was hard to get to off the free way, but I found that once you pulled off the freeway just turn into the shell parking lot and go behind it, there is an alley way that takes you right into the front parking lot of the Sideways Inn. Before I discovered the backway entrance into the parking lot, I turned into the gas station parking lot and made a small U turn to go right down the front driveway of the Sideways Inn. Otherwise, if you miss the signage the first time, you can go down a ways and make a U turn to come back up the street to turn into the driveway to the Inn. The entrance of the Inn is located right next to the freeway. Overall was a great experience, and would definitely book again.
