8/10 Very good

Service at the desk was great. Floors in rooms need a serious scrubbing. Grounds need some TLC.
Sam, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Since going in the off season is was super peaceful and nice to enjoy a weekend get away.
Nikki, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Comfy stay

I stayed up there with my girlfriend as a weekend getaway for her birthday. It's perfect to stay at if you want to go to Kelly's Island (the ferry was only a couple miles away) Overall the staff was very friendly and the room was bigger then I thought it would be. King bed was definitely a plus. Only thing was they sent me over an email saying I had to get a parking pass, but that's only valid during the "On season" (Memorial Day-Labor day) So I didn't need to worry about it. Overall will gladly stay again.

Good stay

Our stay was very comfortable. The service was excellent and everyone was so kind. Will definitely return.
Victoria, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Hotel does not offer the breakfast during the off season which we were not expecting. Room was clean but floor was sticky. The room itself was damp, leaving the sheets even feeling damp at night. Staff was friendly, front desk staffed around the clock. Room only supplied two pots for cooking. No skillets or cookware available.
Jessica, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

The lady at the front desk was amazing, very friendly and had recommendations for food. The room was nice price point. The Parking situation is horrible, thankfully most the area is walkable

Lakeside Escape

It was one of the most relaxing and enjoyable getaway. It was clean and cozy, everyone was so helpful and kind. I will definitely be back.
Dusty, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Beds were pretty firm and our room was right around the corner from the lobby so noise was an issue unfortunately. Surrounding area is very cute and walkable.

10/10 Exceptional

It accommodated our large famuily with a day bed, trundle and 2 other beds just fine. The $25 voucher was a treat!
Jennifer, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

My twin sister also purchased a room but her shower had black mold in the caulking. She had to come to my room to take a shower. She googled black mold and spores can be released from the caulking. The front desk said that the hotel was booked and could not move her to another room and had to wait for management to see if they could give her a discount.
Lisa, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

I was shocked by gate fees and resort fees that were double the price of the room. I would not book in the Lakeside area again due to the hidden fees.
Angela, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

Although our room was clean it was very outdated. You must pay a fee to enter Lakeside - we paid $95, $40 for the two of us and $15 for our car to enter. Parking was a nightmare, the hotel only has a few parking spots and finding a place to park was exhausting. We had another reservation set for August which I have cancelled - booked an Airbnb instead which has ample parking, no Lakeside entry fees and updated living spaces.
Jane, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Mildew Smell

Room had a strong mildew smell. When sharing my concern with the front desk, they admitted to having 3 other complaints with the same issue that day. It’s been an issue with first floor rooms. The manager said there’s nothing that can be done as the 1st floor rooms are half under ground. Toilet seat was about to fall off, super loose. Room was very outdated. Breakfast is not on site, they give you a voucher to bring to an off site restaurant, max $25 for the family. We ended up checking out as all other rooms were booked. Hotel apologized and refunded in full.
