It's a fun hideaway, I didn't like the location (behind gas station subject to heavy traffic) but it was comfortable place for a weekend. I didn't have a chance to visit the grill or bar...maybe next time. The front desk staff were helpful and friendly. Nice visit.

Property was close to Flying flags where family was staying. Easy access and short walk. Property had plenty of parking spaces for guest staying at hotel however it should be managed a bit better, during peak times you’ll find people staying in flying flags parking in hotel area.

I had a fantastic stay at Sideways Inn! The location was incredibly convenient—right off the freeway and just a short drive to Los Olivos. The inn was peaceful, quiet, and perfect for relaxing. Everything was spotless, and the staff were genuinely kind and helpful. I’ll definitely be returning the next time I’m in the area. Highly recommend!
