Great place to stay!
I have stayed here several times for business trips, and as always, very clean, quiet and comfortable. I especially appreciate the workout room, as I am someone who enjoys exercise.

Kirsten, Richmond

Disliked: Amenities
The Sideways Inn is a motel that's been nicely renovated in a stylish hipster motif, and the lobby, pool area, and rooms are pleasant. Things I didn't enjoy: The walls and ceiling were so thin, noise was a problem (there were a couple of female lacrosse teams staying on property). Maid service wasn't offered but every three days, so my room wasn't cleaned. And there were a couple of deferred-maintenance issues in my room (a framed photo missing glass, a big stain on the bedspread, wall paint that needed touching up). One nice amenity is that guests can use the facilities (such as a fitness gym and bocce court) from the sister property next door.
