The check-in staff we're very nice. The beds were comfortable. An upgrade on there bed covers would be a nice addition. It is a very old motel but the exterior of the room's are dirty. We needed to clean the outside chairs and table. The balcony was not clean, dirty sliding doors and screens. It's strange to have ash trays everywhere outside. On our return visit from our road trip, the room we stayed in didn't have any glasses or coffee cups. I was grateful to have traveled with our own glasses and mugs. The Lakeside Motel has such potential if they cleaned the exterior property. It's definitely a one night stay. The highlight, was the price of a room.

Peaceful ✨ and Comfortable ❤️

This is my second time staying here! I love the peaceful out of town feeling with breathtaking views of the lake, and incredible deer sightings down below only steps from our room onto the spacious deck❤️ The rooms are very spacious, and the beds were comfy👌Staff go above and beyond expectations to ensure you have a great stay 🥰 Unfortunately we did not have time to partake in the mini golf, (Yes it's Free when you stay) but I was still blessed with the surrounding lights and stunning water fountain ❤️ Overall, I highly recommend!!

Cute lakeside stay

The exterior surroundings are so cute. Pretty setting by the lake. Lovely flower pots and boxes are charming. Staff at desk were friendly. The beds were comfortable with very Clean sheets. Constructive criticism: The appliances need better attention. Wipe with deodorized disinfectant. Especially the microwave interior walls, top & bottom inside. Constructive criticism: The sliding glass door track is very dirty, could not slide the door properly. Balcony needs cleaning. The floors around the wall edges need vacuuming and behind the nightstands and furnishings, plus the electric baseboard heaters. The smoke detector is missing. The one main electric surge bar was overloaded -split the load with a second bar in other outlet.

Cute property, but very old and dated, desperately needs some reno’s. No a/c so the room was quite warm…had to leave open patio and screen door all night to cool the room off. Beds were ok, but like everything else, needs to be replaced. Was ok for the overnight stay.

DO NOT STAY HERE! The only good thing was the mediocre view. The tv remote didn’t work. The bathroom sink was cracked and chipped. The room smelled like something/someone died in it. It should have been a place that was rented out by the hour!
