My husband and I spent 3 days 2 nights at the Lakeside Inn. Our staff was absolutely wonderful. The Inn was quaint and charming, with beautiful views of the lake that made the whole experience feel peaceful and relaxing. It was the perfect place to slow down, unwind and enjoy the time away. We truly had a wonderful and relaxing stay and would definitely recommend the Lakeside Inn.

Lovely view of the lake and great location near lots of bars and restaurants. The staff could not have been more friendly and helpful! The amenities in the room were a little limited but that’s to be expected in such an old property

Staff and food were excellent. Thoroughly enjoyed talking with the staff. I didn’t do the breakfast but I did the pot pie. You have to order the famous pot pie! Only wish there were refrigerators in the rooms. Also, no coffee maker in the rooms.

MARCELO

Liked: Amenities
Excellent location with easy access to shops and restaurants, and a beautiful lake view. However, the property needs better maintenance, and the room and carpet had a strong, unpleasant odor. We travel frequently, and this was the first property to refuse us a late check-out. Overall, the location is great, but the maintenance and service were disappointing.

This was our 3rd stay and we absolutely loved it! The only issue we had was that our AC unit didn’t cool our room very well. But other than that it was enjoyable! We will be back!

Beautiful historic hotel in a quaint downtown area. Very walkable to restaurants and bars. The air conditioner made a loud noise but that’s just my opinion and might not bother others. Large room and bathroom. I will definitely stay again.

The prouder was clean and staff were nice. It is old, obviously, but quaint. My complaint was when we checked in we were told we had a $10 food voucher for each night of our stay. Not much, but a perk. When My husband tried to use it the clerk said she never heard of anything like that. Poor communication.
