I had to wait 40 min because they were cleaning the room we were staying at. The check in was supposed to be at 3pm. At midnight you can hear people outside the pool talking, laughing and screaming.

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.
