Was an older motel, but knew that and for the price, would stay there again as very close to the Hard Rock. Rooms were roomy and clean. Bring your own pillows and towels would be my only recommendation for any one wanting to stay here

Nice place

It's what you pay for. Just a typical hotel. The rooms were clean and nice (looks like they were just remodeled recently), no problem checking in and had no problems with loud noice or anything. We'd stay there again.

This stay was all about convenance. The room was clean and close to the Mid Florida Amphitheater. If you want extra frills, it's probably not for you but the doors locked, and it was a decent rate for a night's sleep.

The rooms and property were clean and quiet, and the neighborhood felt safe. Perfect for a one night stay after a concert. You could technically walk to the ampitheatre or the casino, but we chose to Uber which was quick and convenient.

Great value

I was highly impressed with east lake inn. The staff is very friendly and very helpful. The room was newly renovated and clean. Plenty of outlets and usb ports. Great location being a mile from hard rock casino and right off the free way, Room looks just like the pictures.

Conveniently located has it’s pros and cons

Hotel was clean, although somewhat rundown & it did have a refrigerator and microwave although it would’ve been nice not to have to go to the office to ask for a remote control for the television, would’ve called the office unfortunately the telephone in the room was a dummy telephone that didn’t walk. There was quite a bit of traffic noise and the daycare right next door to the hotel was quite noisy in the morning. The location was extremely convenient for our plans for the evening. Having said that I’m grateful we didn’t have to stay a second night

Weekend getaway

The room was cleans and it looks good inside. There is no shampoo or coffee. The outside looks sketchy and a little run down. The bed is not comfortable. Not bad for the price
