Very nice room and hotel. We had car issues during our stay, and I have to say that the staff went out of their way to try to help us. Thanks, Jena, for all your help!

The hotel is great being right on the lake! The balcony off my room was excellent! The rooms are nice and clean with plenty of space. The only things that could improve are the Wifi was very weak and I couldn't get work done that I needed. The other is that no one is there to check you in after 6:00pm.

I usually stick to the big brand hotels, but took a chance on Lakeside Inn and had a wonderful stay. The room had a fantastic waterfront view and a patio. I liked the hard floors. The bed was soft, which was good for me. I was worried about noise with restaurant near my patio; but there was no problem with noise. The friendly staff went above and beyond! Fun little hotel!

We only had 1 bath towel 1 hand towel 1 wash cloth and no bath mat. There were 2 of us in the room. Also the “lake view” was a little deceiving.

Not the property fault, however we had a neighbor up all night trying to recenter building so we got very little sleep, maybe 3 hours of sleep! Our whole floor was not happy!
