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.
The bathroom shower set up was subpar. Our room had a walk in shower that had no door, just one small glass pain. So even though you had a full length shower space, you could only use the small area under the shower head. Otherwise, you would flood the rest of the bathroom floor if you used the rest of the space. It was fine once under the water, but if you moved away from the water the rest of the shower space was cold. I hope they rethink the shower set up, as I'd like to stay there again, but (for me) shower comfort was a thumbs down. 👎

Best location, comfortable property, great value. Our upgrade to courtyard rooms, facing the pool, was much appreciated! After all, we did book 4 rooms for 6 nights! Love the fire pits and the Sideways Lounge!
The texting program for housekeeping service was hit or miss. But all in all, you can't beat the value at the Sideways Inn! Love this place! But, you do need bigger pool towels, some kind of drawers in the rooms, and better lighting! The rooms really need overhead/ceiling lights.

The shower and bathrooms were great. I like that the bathroom door closes and seals despite being a barn door style.
I would have preferred more breakfast choices including something hot but I think the choices are more limited during the week. It was nice that it was free. Also, there were no pool towels in the pool area and when I asked for one at the office it felt like I was making an odd request. If you don't provide pool towels then maybe you shouldn't have an empty pool towel kiosk.

There is so much we can say about our stay. It was our 2 year wedding anniversary and the staff was absolutely helpful and even gave us complimentary wine glasses to celebrate. As we're fans of the Sideways movie, the location was absolutely great and the local restaurants that we were able to visit had AMAZING food and scenery. We also loved visiting solvang and other parts of town and we can't wait to come back
The only thing that was having to ask for towels. Not really a negative, but in other hotels my wife and I visited, the rooms were usually cleaned while we're out, but it makes sense to do it after check out. Also, not really a negative, the switch for the light near the bathroom was at the front door. Took a minute to get that figured out.

This hotel is close to the freeway but was still quiet and safe. Lovely and clean grounds and rooms. The hot tub and fire pit were nice and we enjoyed sitting in the outside area in the evening. It is an easy 3 mile drive to Solvang.
The breakfast was very meager. It literally was an apple and a box of orange flavored children’s drink. If you chose a slice of bread then you got no egg. If you chose an egg it was hard boiled and came in a plastic bag. You should assume you will be having breakfast in Solvang and we recommend Paula’s Pancake House.

Stated there in the past, always clean. Good value and location. The addition of the gym is a plus.
Pool area needs updating. Hot tub needs to be resurfaced and was not in working order. A couple if more umbrellas and they need to provide pool towels. The new “knock and drop” breakfast was a joke! Didnt work at all. Id rather pay a little less for the room and not even have an included continental breakfast which it is not. Also the lighting in the room is not good. It may be trendy but it is insufficient.

The entire property was very clean from outside to inside the room. Staff were all very welcoming, and helpful. We did request handicap accessible. The space made available for these accommodations were the best we have ever seen. spacious room for chairs/walkers. The bathrooms were large enough for them also. This was the first time we have ever had a shower chair available to use in the shower. The shows head was handicapped accessible as well. This alone helped our family enjoy our trip even more.
The turn into the property is hard to access. You have to get into the turn lane for on coming traffic for a stop light.

Lovely property - loved the over all design of the rooms and reception area. Great having a bar on site too even if it does close a bit too early during the week! Enjoyed having the pool and also complimentary tea and coffee throughout the stay. Would recommend requesting a room overlooking pool area as our room was located in a dark corner so no view from the balcony.
Early closing time in the hotel bar - it's in a great location away from the rooms so keeping it open a bit later than 10pm would be nice.

Great room on the second floor…comfortable bed with a good sized fridge and microwave as well as coffee and a continental breakfast delivered to your door (and even a treat for our dog!). Very nice! Great gym on the premises…didn't get to try the pool as it was freezing out but it looked nice. Close to Solvang and easy access to freeway, restaurants, etc.
On the grounds there is a bar and sausage food truck which appear to be part of the motel - for some reason the truck was not offering food and when I went into the bar to ask if they had anything…the bartender was extremely rude…tossed the menu on the bar…stated, “no food truck, we have a salad and some pretzel bites, that’s it” and then spun around and walked off. Okay!!! So a little shocked by his behavior and left. We would also have appreciated a blanket in the room…it was quite cold and not enough bedding…brrr… had to get up and put clothes on to sleep. It is also a little pricey but then it is a major tourist attraction.

This is our second time staying at Sideways Inn. The rooms are updated and clean, and they welcome dogs, which is nice! Staff is friendly and helpful. There are fire pits on the property, which are nice to lounge around in the cool evenings. There's also a bar, the Sideways Lounge, which has indoor and outdoor seating and offers great food from an on-side food truck from Santa Ynez Sausage company. Overall, a great place to stay close to Solvang, Santa Ynez, and Los Olivos for those wanting to enjoy the valley's plethora of wine options.
I continue to be frustrated by the fact that I can't seem to get the on-site electric car charging stations to work. Having to drive into Solvang to charge is such a pain. Also, their breakfast items and delivery method is a little frustrating. They have you fill out a card where you circle your options and clip it to the door of your room. If you forget to do this, you don't get breakfast. I also wish that instead of just a bagel as the option for breakfast, there was an option for something like cereal and milk, or oatmeal since there are microwaves in the rooms. I also wish you could opt for tea instead of coffee with your delivered breakfast (they have tea, but you have to go to the lobby to get it).
