Loved the patio and lake. Was very quiet, sad lounge closes for the season. Hot tub would have been wonderful. Staff friendly. The sunset was magnificent. They didn’t refill the toilet paper, so the night of 2nd day, we had to go find some. Could use more lighting, and maybe some pics on the wall.

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!

On Friday night July 12 they had a band in the evening. They were very vulgar and cursing a lot. Cuss words in their songs. There were children around. We thought it was very inappropriate. The band fought and argued during their breaks, and then packing up. There was an argument as well. Everything else was fine. Very friendly staff

Me and my late husband stayed there for our honeymoon and it was the perfect place. So last weekend I took my kids there to see and they absolutely loved it too.

Everything for the most part was great 👍
But dock was not safe to moor your private boat
I also found a rusty nail 2x6 floating inside one of the dilapidated customer slips… I set it nails down on the unusable dock slip….
I’ll bet it’s still there, as there was 0 evidence of upkeep..
The gals at the front desk were nice but never there early in the morning for coffee, which I turned on myself a couple days a little after 6..
One morning the front desk didn’t open until after 8:15??
Garbage removal? We did it..
Fresh towels and wash clothes? We refreshed them..
PARKING TOTALLY SUCKS!!
With the cones and small spaces…
For some reason you asked….
So I had to be honest….
Otherwise we loved the room and view 👍

Stayed for location to downtown and view. Liked the bar and grill attached with lake view. Our balcony view blocked by rooftop of the bar and grill. Dont stay in 204 for that reason as all other rooms looked to have great view of lake. Id stay again, just a different room gaving problems with hot water. Wife didnt have hot water for shower

We loved our stay at Lakeside! We highly recommend getting a balcony room. The room was spacious, clean, and well-maintained. We'll be back!

They were having troubles with hot water heater so showers were cold sometimes and for how much the rates were you would hope for a hot shower

Older but well maintained, clean, and updated property right on the water. Very near to downtown and not far from The Surf Ballroom. Friendly staff. Not much of a continental breakfast. No elevator and front desk shuts down at 8pm.

We went for an overnight stay was a nice room. There is a restaurant and bar attached so had some drinks. Sucks can’t access lake after restaurant closes.
8.0
Our only negatives were in the room. The bed and pillows were not the most comfortable, and there is not a regular closet. There is no place to hang anything longer than a shirt. But that is also a personal preference thing. The location and view cannot be beat. And the hotel staff were very good. Overall we had a wonderful stay.
