We had quite a pleasant stay at the Lake Point Lodge.
Our room was clean and comfortable. Two queen beds, dresser, refrigerator, microwaive, two cup coffee maker, iron and ironing board, hair dryer, night stand, work station (desk and desk chair) and a comfortable sitting chair.) The TV was a flat planner, unlike pictures on some other websites.
The beds were firm, but I slept well. Bathroom was clean, and the A/C more than up to the job. (Clearlake gets hot in the summer months, so this made my wife quite happy.)
The pool was also clean and kept at an appropriate temperature, just warm enough to get in quickly, but cool enough that you did not feel like you were taking a bath. In fact, between the before bed dip and the A/C, I actually had to sleep in my long pajama pants.
The staff was friendly and attentive. I went to get ice, but they were working on the ice machine. An employee (owner) let me know that it was out of order, but they were fixing it. He asked for my room number, and I was surprised about 15 minutes later when he showed up with a small bag of ice, letting me know that it would be a while before the ice machine made ice even though it would be fixed.
All in all, it looks like they have been investing in this property, considering some of the older reviews. There were several doors which had multiple new paint sections, which indicates to me that they are picking colors for a new exterior paint job.
A few hints to management. (None of which really impacted our stay.) Two queen rooms should be set up for 4 people. So, 4 towel sets, double coffee sets, etc. I'm sure if I had asked, they would have provided the missing items. (We had a party of 3, myself, my wife, and our son.)
I really only had to negative issues. One, there were no sheer curtains behind the blackout curtains. This prevented us from having natural light, unless we wanted to be in a fishbowl. (Our room, 101, was on the bottom floor, right next to the pool.)
The other was a knock on the door at 8:59 am. The employee asked if we were checking out today. Now, this could have been my fault as we did not hang the "do not disturb" sign on the door, so he may have wanted to confirm that we did not "fast check out" by just leaving, which happens when rooms are pre-paid or they swipe your credit card.
All in all, if you are looking for a place to stay near Clearlake Oaks, this is a very nice option. It's not the Savoy, but I was not expecting it to be. read more
