We really enjoyed our stay at the Sideways Inn. The beds were incredibly comfortable, and the room itself was spacious and welcoming, perfect for relaxing after a long day of wine tasting. The only thing that could use a little attention is the shower heads, which could definitely be improved. Overall, though, it was a great experience and we’d happily stay again.

Disliked: Amenities
Put us in a handicapped room for some reason. The shower was very hard to use bc the shower head was meant for someone sitting down and the whole bathroom flooded. There was an open soda can in the room when arrived as well. The curtains done block light and its pretty load from other guests and staff walking around the bulding.

This was our first stay at Sideways Inn, but definitely not our last! We have family in the area, and it was a wonderful, pet-friendly place to stay and get to bring our dog along! The office staff and housekeepers were friendly, the rooms were clean and comfortable, and the local blend coffee and fresh gourmet donuts were such a welcoming touch! We didn't have time to try the restaurant, but plan to do so on our next visit!
