Staff was great. Cute, clean and convenient. Price was great for off season. Not sure if I would pay a heck of a lot more for in-season prices. It was great and onvenient, but not enough for me to pay too much more than we paid for the off-season price. Lakeside is a nice community!

Comfy stay

I stayed up there with my girlfriend as a weekend getaway for her birthday. It's perfect to stay at if you want to go to Kelly's Island (the ferry was only a couple miles away) Overall the staff was very friendly and the room was bigger then I thought it would be. King bed was definitely a plus. Only thing was they sent me over an email saying I had to get a parking pass, but that's only valid during the "On season" (Memorial Day-Labor day) So I didn't need to worry about it. Overall will gladly stay again.
