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.

This hotel is situated in a great location. They are within good walking to the pier. There's some shopping and a couple restaurants within walking distance. The staff was friendly. When I got to my room the door was already open, but I think they had just got done cleaning it. The room is spacious. The bed seemed huge which was nice. Fridge was clean. The only thing that dampened the stay was the shower. I didn't realize until I was fully in the shower that there was mold. Consequently that was the shortest shower I've taken. If it wasn't for the mold, this room would've been a good stay.
