Our keurig didn’t work…the barn door that is utilized for the bathroom got stuck and I was trapped in there for almost 15 minutes as my husband tried to get the door back on the track…the lighting in the room is garish and not very good. And we saw someone who appeared to be very drunk, smoking, unkempt looking into and hovering around our car…we did text and got security to come over…for those that need it, there is no elevator…so be sure to request a first floor room…but note that its much noisier. The sideways lounge had some very yummy food…the king sized bed was very comfy…breakfast is available for a fee…but nothing terribly healthy. Great coffee is in the lobby…which was nice…and of course, this hotel is very close to solvang which is why we ended up staying there…

We really enjoyed staying at the sideways Inn, we were pleasantly surprised with everything the hospitality, fitness facility, Great bed & drop off breakfast. This is all done really well! The only thing I would say is that the lighting in the room is very dim. Would be nice if there were dimmers to raise them up if you wanted it to be brighter. It’s hard to open the shades because you’re right on the walkway.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Not a pleasant experience. Electronic lock battery ran out on door and we could not reenter the room. It was 10 pm and air temperature had dropped. We waited 1.5 hours outside the room. Service people who fixed the lock were kind and helpful. However, no attempt was made by establishment to apologize for our inconvenience. We did not ask for a discount or any other accommodation, however seems like a basic politeness to extend this. The room itself would be ok for a low budget motel, not exceptionally clean or well appointed. Stark and sterile, a bit lifeless frankly.

Minor detail … the hairdryer was not working and there wasn’t a phone to call the front desk so had to walk to the lobby to report the issue but they provided another one. Just wasn’t convenient after just getting out of the shower.

Probably one of the nicest staff any place I stayed. Amenities excellent including high end gym. Door delivered continental breakfast service. Pool and hot tub were heated (thank goodness) because it had rained a ton around the time I was there early April. Will be back.
