It was a very busy weekend with lots of CHP in the hotel due to President Biden being in the area. Front desk clerks were noticeably frazzled or incompetent. Not friendly at all. Don’t know if that is par for the course in wine country but they seem to have a captive market.

Nice place
We had to order our own breakfast Online.. We have received only half the order. It’s very frustrating. The signage to the place is hard to see from the road. You have to ask other hotel owners where their are situated.

The only flaw I think is the breakfast. They don’t have a lot of options to choose from. Always the choices. I hope they will improve this. But overall it was a pleasant stay for a quick 3D2N.

Updated, clean but bad shower, breakfast
Hotel was clean and comfortable for a family of 4. The shower was a joke with so little pressure that could barely get the body warm on a cold evening. Complementary breakfast was a joke too limiting to one item - choice of one donut or cold boiled egg or oatmeal. They should have just said no breakfast instead. Too pricey for just an updated hotel.

Sideways Inn, Solvang - A Gem for Fitness Enthusiasts and Comfort Seekers I had an excellent stay at Sideways Inn in Solvang! One of the standout features for me was the gym—truly impressive for a hotel. The squat rack was a game-changer, and the facilities were well-maintained, making it a perfect spot to keep up with my fitness routine during my trip. Beyond the gym, the design of the inn is fantastic. It has a thoughtful and stylish vibe that immediately puts you at ease. My room was incredibly comfortable, and the overall atmosphere of the place made it a joy to stay there. If you’re looking for a place that combines great amenities with a cozy, well-designed environment, Sideways Inn is an excellent choice. Highly recommend!

not finished w review
This experience was not so great when I walked into the check-in I was pleasantly surprised it’s nice in there. It’s super cute. Check in was a breeze. They informed me of how to order a breakfast in the morning scan a QR code so on. We got to our room. It’s very dark in there even with all four lights on And had a strange smell. We went to the room we brought everything up. We scanned the QR code that we put our breakfast. We put the pups down and they kept smelling certain spots. Every spot they smelled was dog piss from the prior people that stayed in that room. Everywhere they smells we had to put puppy pads down so they wouldn’t piss over it. It was actually very disgusting. I carry a black light with me for the rooms to make sure there’s no bedbugs or anything of that Nature Piss all over the carpet. The bathroom looks like a dog poo in there and maybe the last person picked it up but you could still see residue from it. It’s very disgusting. The beds were clean. They were kind of comfortable. Honestly I was kind of itchy, but that’s because I want to take a shower. There was no body soap, I’m positive. The shampoo is lavender because it made me itchy so I had to use the conditioner to rinse it off. I’m allergic to lavender very allergic.P there were kids next-door that kept screaming and running and knocking on the doors and the walls just a lot of screaming a lot of yelling I could not get any sleep at all. We decided to check it out after breakfast was delivered whc
