Unfortunately there was a fire that knocked out the internet... They said Oh when you check in it'll be out for 45 minutes I was like okay 12 hours later still no internet yeah out of their hands maybe but did they compensate at all for the fact that not only the internet was out they had no outside line whatsoever available at their phone What hotel doesn't still have some kind of landline in case someone's a phone dies or something This is ridiculous where in the world do you go where a hotel has zero land lines or a way to call out in case of disturbance of cell phone towers... Then the restaurant closed early so I couldn't eat... The person at the desk said what time it closed and when I went before that time they had already closed So didn't eat at all that evening... Internet never came back on in the time I was there... Drove two hours to be there... Missed being with company because of the internet being out and no phone available... Ask manager what I could do to get another night somehow for all the trouble he said nothing in fact he didn't even have the smart to print a roster before he left to go to his hotel that had no internet to see if he even had rooms... I had driven down the road and saw I could get a room there but was hoping we could have a discussion about the situation from the previous night but he was clueless So he told me have a nice day basically get out of my hotel so what did I need to do Go book a hotel at a diff place... For tonight he lost $$$

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.
