Very nice weekend stay!

Nicely upgraded since my last stay a couple of years ago! Felt safe and secure, clean and friendly. The donuts were amazing by the way, thank you!
Kathleen, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Stayed for 3 days. Sideways is dog friendly and adjacent to freeway, gas and other amenitities. The Sideways lounge is a welcoming bar with some pretty good live music. Bed was just right and showers deliver. Recommend for a value added travelers with furry family members.

Simon, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Fun place for adults, so-so for families

Not great for kids since they aren’t allowed inside the restaurant, which is really just meant for partying. Good for adults who are there to have a gooood time. Proximity to 101 is a bummer as it’s very loud at night. Overall they did a cute job renovating the motel.

Yessenia, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The service was outstanding, the check in person was very friendly and explained everything to me. The room was great, the bed was a little soft for my liking but I still slept great. We were right next to the pool and it was loud but right at 10pm, the pool closed and the kids had to stop which was nice. The donuts in the morning were great and a nice touch. All in all, will be back again.

Great Getaway Hotel in Wine Country.

Great location in Buellton, minutes from wine country and Los Olivos. Property is dog friendly and is connected to the RV Park behind the hotel. Nice Pool in the center of the hotel property and they offer fresh donuts in the morning with your coffee in the lobby. Overall a great getaway hotel.

Lovely Stay by the Water

The stay was lovely for my birthday weekend trip. Room was cute, bed was comfortable and amenities were sufficient. I was a Gold member with Hotels.com and I had to speak to a representative to honor my free drinks perks but other than that, we had a lovely stay.

thomas, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great experience!

Clean, convenient and reasonably priced. Only a one-night stay but it definitely met our needs. The place is a bit dated, but I worry more about cleanliness, and it was definitely clean. We had a room on the backside of the property and it was quiet even though the hotel is located near the freeway. People were nice. We went to the lounge that night and it seemed to be more locals than guests which was cool because we talked about the area etc. I would definitely stay here again.
Jim, 1-night trip

Awesome stay. Recommend.
Tiago, 1-night trip

The room was nice...bed comfortable. Bar was pretty cool. A fun stay all in all. Hitching Post is right down the street and only 15 miles from Lompoc with he Wineries there. Lots of great scenery and food.
