This hotel was the only game in town so it had to work for many family members in town for a wedding. Quite a few people had problems with their keycards not working. Rooms were small but fairly clean. No insulation resulted in us hearing other guests throughout the night.

Front desk receptionist was very nice. The keys would not open the exterior door we were told to go through to get to the room. Once in the hallway the overwhelming smell of fresh marijuana was everywhere. The bedding was clean but the room looked like it had been robbed. There were holes in the walls where photos had been before, we turned the AC unit on and the musty smell that came out was pretty bad. The hotel sign said newly renovated, but I think they still have a VERY long way to go. We opted to not sleep there and ate the cost of the room and left after 15 minutes in the facility.

Still smells like smoke after all these years

Property was being renovated. Lots of rooms closed. Pool not usable. Room smelled like smoke had to keep the window open without a screen throughout the stay. Room was sold at bear minimum. $30 a night would be asking too much and I spent $80+. Hopefully property will be brought up to acceptable standards but for now not worth the price.

Great experience

Based off of previous reviews I had no idea what to expect. We had a great stay! Bed was comfortable and room was clean. We appreciate it being a dog friendly hotel and not having to pay insane dog fees. The place is currently under renovation. Employees were all very nice. Would stay here again and would definitely recommend. Can't beat the price!

Filthy

The front desk girl was very nice other than that the hotel was aweful. So dirty and old. The matresses had no covers on them and were brown. Doors didnt lock good and if i had somewhere else to go i wouldnt have stayed here. It was quiet because i think there was only 1 ither guest in the whole building.

The staff I encountered was not friendly at all and was a little creepy for a late night check-in. The garbage in the room had not been emptied and was full. There was a crumpled wash cloth on the counter by the sink, there was hair in the bathroom, there was a GIANT crack in the bottom of the tub that was letting water drain out of the tub and was a cut hazard for bare feet.

When I arrived at Lakewood Inn and Suites, my first impression was not good. The landscaping was overrun with weeds, the signage was faded and outdated from a previous business, and the building had mismatched paint patches. Several windows didn’t have any coverings. I was also the only car in the parking lot. A casually dressed woman was standing outside speaking to someone in a van, which felt unusual for a hotel arrival. Inside, the front desk clerk—who was polite and welcoming—checked me in and walked me to my room. Unfortunately, the room was in poor condition. There were visible dirt marks on the walls, the curtain was partially detached from the rod, the thermostat was dirty, and there was a strong, unpleasant odor from the carpet. I immediately contacted Expedia to request a refund, which the owner approved. When I returned the keys, the woman I had seen outside was now at the front desk. She offered to move me to a room with updated furniture, carpet, fixtures, and paint. It left me wondering why that wasn’t offered in the first place. While I understand the property is under new management, the state of the room I was given made me uncomfortable. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend staying here.

We didn't stay. The hotel isn't in great shape. I pulled the covers back and the sheets were stained. The bathroom sink was brand new.
