Best place to stay right outside solvang
Wonderful place when visiting solvang this where we stay. We love how well maintained the property is and how convenient it is to go to the bar in the parking lot for drinks and food.

SIdeway Inn is legit!!
Great stay and what a beautiful area! Wish we had more time to visit local eateries which there are many but we are planning on coming back. The room was very updated and clean. The gym was the best gym I have ever seen in any motel professional equipment that if your a workout junkie you will very pleased!!
The bed could've been a bit more comfy but otherwise it was a very pleasant stay. We will be back.

Very nice stay!
We enjoyed our stay and really liked the room. It was loud in the walkways and parking lots, and this was disruptive throughout our stay. Overall, the price, location and room was very nice.
