Negative Reviews
negative:
Older building
This is an older building that some guests believe is showing its age. Specifically, a few guests say the exterior and aspects of the main lobby are a bit of an eyesore due to this age.
negative:
No elevator
There's no elevator on the Lakeside Inn premises, likely owing to the fact that it is housed in an older building. As a result, you're going to have to move up and down manually via the stairs. While this may prove no issue to some, those who are older or bear an impairment to their mobility are unlikely to appreciate this inconvenience, as was the case with a number of guests.
negative:
Lack of water pressure
A few guests cite disappointment with the shower setup. Specifically, the water pressure is not adequate, and the water flow can be weak at times.
