Comfort Inn & Suites Lakes Entrance
The motel is conveniently located on the main strip with lots of restaurants and shops close by. Walking distance to a great park and the bridge over to the beach. Really enjoyed being close. The room itself was nothing special, no issues, can just use some TLC. Onsite laundry was a nice benefit ...
