Staff was great. We stayed there in the winter when there were no resort fees so the price was very good. No breakfast but they had coffee, fridge and microwave so we brought something for breakfast to heat up.

Staff was great. Cute, clean and convenient. Price was great for off season. Not sure if I would pay a heck of a lot more for in-season prices. It was great and onvenient, but not enough for me to pay too much more than we paid for the off-season price. Lakeside is a nice community!

The property is in a community of some sort. Shops, restaurants and cafes all right by the hotel. But the parking is very very limited.

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.

The parking is pretty much non existent. We were there in the off season and still almost no parking. The room was ok but the bathroom tub didn't look clean. It may be stained but it looked dirty. Not a lot of restaurants to choose from, especially for breakfast. The wifi password wouldn't work so no wifi.
