That being said, this is the perfect place to stay when needing a room in this area. It's very small, 20 rooms maybe and very simple. Like previous reviewer said, no clock radio, no garbage cans, no frills at all. However, It's clean. Very important. It has relatively comfortable beds and a bathroom with a shower. I'm not sure what more you need for a night or two on the island. We stayed there for a wedding that was being held across the street and it was perfect for us. The women who worked the front desk were very friendly. I highly recommend this place if you don't need anything fancy and just want to get away for the night!

Costs $20.00 per adult person and $5.00 for parking. Lakeside community is beautiful and quaint. Step back to the 1950s and enjoy life with swimming, shuffleboard, horseshoes, sailing, sand volleyball, basketball, nightly music, shopping, and dining. Dry community so no alcohol. We didn't see many people of various ethnicities and races other than white. Enjoyed walking on docks, visiting shops, shuffle board, Hawaiian ices, lunch at The Hotel, and walking all around. Wonderful day!

The dock…read moreis the perfect place to watch the sunset and the walk along the lake is beautiful, showing off the houses, the flowers, and the balanced stones. The experience is one that I've come to cherish. However, there are several drawbacks I would 100% recommend renting a cottage instead of staying at Hotel Lakeside (which is the reason for such the mediocre review). The rooms, while quaint, were very dirty in the corners and I wouldn't recommend looking under the bed unless you're a dust bunny aficionado. We were told that we were going to get a kitchenette which we did not receive (and apparently there isn't one in the entire hotel). My room was nice enough (besides for the dust), but my grandparents' room's air conditioning was not working and the room had a musty odor. Thankfully they were able to get the bridal suite on the second floor but even then, the bathroom was so small we were worried they would fall and hurt themselves. In terms of food, you don't really have many options. Besides for the hotel's restaurant, there are some coffee shops that aren't open for dinner, sloopy's and the New Mexican restaurant. The hotel's food is delicious but because there are only a few items on the menu, they can get old rather quickly. Sloopy's is nice for a few meals but eating that much unhealthy food will not make your stomach very happy. This is the other reason I recommend getting a cottage. Just so you could make your own home cooked meals instead of relying on eating out. Lastly, the porch. This is the most redeeming quality to the hotel. Looking out over the lake in the covered porch with everyone quietly reading or on their phones is incredibly peaceful and rejuvenating. In the end, I would recommend coming to Lakeside 100%. However, stay at the hotel at your own risk and definitely not for more than four days.

The decor is so interesting and tasteful, perfect for the area. The kitchen was equipped with full size refrigerator, microwave, toaster, stove/oven and all the other items you could need. We had two children with us, so it was great to have a fully stocked kitchen. Bonus - they have a winery on the property, Rocky Point Winery. It was so fun and convenient to be able to go downstairs and order a glass of wine (beer/mixed drink), enjoy a tasty snack and sit at the lovely patio and garden areas. It has a nice selection of gifts to purchase at the winery as well. As I mentioned, the owner and staff were so accommodating and responsive.

Room was ready, clean and we found no real issues with it. Refrigerator and Microwave were included and air conditioning was on and fresh. Beds were standard, sheets were clean and no issues. Indoor pool is a good size- kind of deep though so little ones will have to stay near the steps, but if they like to jump, there's plenty of room to jump in. Breakfast was decent, plenty of cold options like muffins bagels and cereal- hot options were home fries, sausage patties and powdered eggs which were obviously microwaved . Waffles were ordinary but hot. so overall for a free breakfast buffet, it hit the spot after a good night's sleep. Only minus 1 star for spotty in room Wi-Fi. It wasn't working when we checked in, the desk was responsive though and their provider fixed it within an hour or so. At some point in the wee hours of the morning it went down again probably due to the thunderstorm occurring outside but we didn't really need it much in the morning since we only had breakfast and hit the pool before checkout. Good decent place for no-fuss traveling- and it showed with plenty of families eating breakfast around us. We will not hesitate to use this place again when traveling through.

This place is in serious need of upgrades, cleaning, and maintenance. I would not stay here unless it's your last choice.
