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.
