8/10 Very Good

Comfy, clean, no microwave
Loved the patio and lake. Was very quiet, sad lounge closes for the season. Hot tub would have been wonderful. Staff friendly. The sunset was magnificent. They didn’t refill the toilet paper, so the night of 2nd day, we had to go find some. Could use more lighting, and maybe some pics on the wall.

Lakeside was a unique experience... not a chain hotel with a beautiful view of Clear Lake.

Verified Expedia guest review

8/10 Very Good

Our room was clean and attractive. Although we didn't ask for a view of the lake, we had one except that there were the legs of stored bar stools sticking up that got in the way of the view. I asked the night before if there would be coffee in the pot in the lobby and was told there would be but wasn't. I knew they didn't provide breakfast but most every place has coffee. The little pot in the room was pretty useless; I only got 1/2 cup and we only had one regular pod for 2 of us. I did really like the paper cups they had for both environmental reasons and more pleasant than styrofoam. Beds were comfortable; pillows not. More than anything, they need office staff on site earlier. Did answer phone number provided quickly.

Very nice room and hotel. We had car issues during our stay, and I have to say that the staff went out of their way to try to help us. Thanks, Jena, for all your help!

The hotel is great being right on the lake! The balcony off my room was excellent! The rooms are nice and clean with plenty of space. The only things that could improve are the Wifi was very weak and I couldn't get work done that I needed. The other is that no one is there to check you in after 6:00pm.

I usually stick to the big brand hotels, but took a chance on Lakeside Inn and had a wonderful stay. The room had a fantastic waterfront view and a patio. I liked the hard floors. The bed was soft, which was good for me. I was worried about noise with restaurant near my patio; but there was no problem with noise. The friendly staff went above and beyond! Fun little hotel!
