The room was very clean and comfortable. All staff we encountered were very nice. The pool area was perfect, as was the fire pit areas. The sideways Lounge was perfect for relaxing after a day of sightseeing and their outdoor living space was amazing. Highly recommend staying here, as it is close to a lot.

As fans of Sideways, staying at the Sideways Inn was a must, and it did not disappoint. The property looks much better maintained than it did during Miles and Jack's adventures. Everything was clean, comfortable, and well-kept. We were especially thankful for the laundry room, which came in handy during our travels. A great blend of movie nostalgia and practical comfort. We'd definitely return
