The beds were comfortable but that was it. •The bath towel over the bathtub was full of rust like dye marks all over it. Housekeeping should never use a towel looking like that. •Coating in bathtub had peeling marks and shower curtain was not clean looking. •During the night I noticed the AC unit was dripping water onto carpet. •The included hot breakfast that morning had burnt potatoes and found hair in the eggs. Did complain the next morning to the front desk but they told me to contact the third party I booked through which was Expedia. Due to road trip travels and expected events, I wasn’t able to call Expedia until about 5 days later. Expedia did call the hotel for a refund but the hotel said they had nothing to offer because it was 5 days later. What difference does that make when I told them about the issues in the morning of check out. Was also disappointed in Expedia for not offering a refund for the room, only points was offered in the amount of $ 39.69. Expedia should not be representing a hotel like this. It’s better to book rooms directly with hotel to avoid these problems.

Do not stay here. The Lakeside Inn is drug-infested, unsafe and dirty. The staff member and manager were understanding and kind and this was the only highlight. They recognize that there is a problem at this motel and at least they refunded my stay when I had to leave in the middle of the night due to the drugs and filth. We arrived to the Inn late. After attempting to give us 3 rooms, two of which were dirty with a used shower and dirty sheets and one had used drug paraphernalia under the mattress and the third was deadbolted with someone inside, my family left and slept overnight in a rest stop. Sleeping in our car in a rest stop in the middle of the night was better and safer than staying at Lakeside Inn.

The place is one star and only for the views. Staff was slow, the room was a show box, and had a weird smell. So much noise was made throughout the night, this place should never be called quiet. The room next to me had the tv turned all the way up and on all night until I checked out. I will NEVER come here again. My worst experience, should be a motel.

Rooms clean and somewhat updated. I was ok with the property itself as the price was good for the area. We stayed on a sat night though and while I didn’t mind the band playing very loudly early in the evening, my family of 4 turned in at 11pm which is when we heard a stoppage of music. But it was only a break. I was awoken for more music until midnight. We were assigned a room directly above the bar and I feel the front desk clerk could have asked our preference as I did not realize such noise would be an issue. Oh - fire pit was just outside our window too, so extra noise unfortunately. Breakfast was not very enjoyable either but sufficient.
