The Good: Let’s start with the undeniable charm: the location. You simply can’t beat it. The hotel is perched right on the lake, far from the buzz of traffic, with peaceful, scenic views that belong on a postcard. You might even be tempted to forgive everything else… almost. The staff were genuinely friendly and helpful—clearly doing their best with what they’ve been given. We're especially grateful to one of the young men at the reception for putting us in a room with a truly stunning view—it made the first impression a positive one. The Bad: The rooms and hotel itself appear to be locked in a Cold War-era time capsule. Expect vintage everything—except charm. We discovered some unexpected "amenities," like food leftovers near the bed. Soundproofing leaves much to be desired. We didn’t need to turn on a white noise machine—the shower from the room below provided all the cascading thunder of Niagara Falls. At 2 a.m. And let’s not forget the pillows—thin, uneven, and generously filled with lumps. Bonus touches included a bathroom ceiling fan that looked like someone had tried to rip it out of the ceiling during an escape attempt. The Ugly: The breakfast buffet was... well, they called it a buffet. That’s technically true, in the same way that a few cereal boxes, a toaster, and some mystery eggs can be called a feast. If “basic” had a downgrade, this would be it. In conclusion, this is a two-star hotel, and—credit where credit’s due—it absolutely delivers on that promise.

The carpet in this room was disgusting. There were stains through the entire room. There was blood on the wall and the carpet. The restaurant had live music which was vey loud and could be heard in our room. We were unwilling to stay in this room but the inn did not have another room available. Lakeside Inn should not be renting this room!

The women at the front desk were amazing. Went out of their way to accommodate us but the gentlemen were awful. Refused to change our room even though they had 10 free ones and the AC didn't work, the fridge didn't work, the tiles in the bathroom were broken, there was no blankets on the bed

Bath tub had orange spots and there was lots of small hair in it. There was a layer of plastic under the bed sheet that made a noise and didn’t let me sleep. Not to mention the noises from other rooms bothering me the entire night

Mon-Fri visit. Have stayed here for years. Breakfast ok. But coffee not available in the lobby after breakfast. Most,if not all other hotels have coffee, hot water available 24/7 but no longer here. Yes, they have a coffee maker in the room. Not the same
