There was a beer bottle under the table in the outside patio area. Not a big deal but should have been thrown out. Room was clean, towels in shower a little thin, almost a hole in one. But again, very clean and great price. Love Sideways Inn! Also, lots of workers trucks in parking spots but oh well.

Everybody was great and the rooms were clean. The only issue is whenever somebody walks by on the second floor the building shakes a little which startled us a few times. But we would easily stay here again.

No breakfast room instead we get breakfast delivered which sounds good but actually not convenient since you need to order items online which is not clear at all for explaining what you can order or can’t order or how much you can order.

Liked: Cleanliness
Fine place, expensive for a 3 star place. Lack of storage in rooms, no dressers, no counter in bathroom, etc. “Queen” beds seemed more like full beds, refrigerator was too cold and froze everything. On site food truck required ordering in the lounge which is 21 so not family friendly, no way to order food with kids. We went to the Lounge to order and were ignored for 10 minutes despite not being busy so we left. Pool was nice, knock and drop breakfast although mediocre, was convenient
