Lakeside Inn

Lakeside Inn

10/10 Excellent
"Nice hotel, very friendly staff. Restaurant on site isn't quite full service, but was friendly and food was good still. The view over the lake was very nice, and lovely to be able to sit on benches behind the hotel and relax. The TV was outdated and not friendly for entertainment. We bring a ROKU, but there was no way to hook it up. It was not a smart TV or smart box, so no way to stream anything. The quality of the TV channels provided weren't great. Breakfast was okay, not the best - but I was really put off by signs saying not to take breakfast to the rooms. In a scenario where there is limited seating and the plates / utensils are disposable anyways, I found that request to be a bit ridiculous."

"The staff was great. The hotel definitely needs to be remodeled. Rugs are stained and worn. Everything is just old and worn. Bed was good though, pillows not so much. We didn't have towels in our room so we had to hunt for the maid the next morning to get some. The free breakfast consists of waffles, toast, cereal and yogurt. I had booked a last minute trip so my options at the time were not plentiful. If you just need a place to lay your head at the end of the day like we did, you should be fine."
