Hotel Lakeside — Hotel in Danbury Township

This is a historic 150 year old Inn. I would have assumed there would have been some maintenance in that time, but I may be wrong. The screened wrap around porch was lovely and the view is outstanding. The rooms are not good. I booked a room with 2 queens and got 2 doubles. When I questioned it, I was told someone else had also questioned the bed size and the manager had someone measure them and they measured to a queen. The manager should have done it themselves. You can look at these beds and know beyond a shadow of a doubt they were only doubles. The wall paper was peeling off the walls and curling on the edges. The shower wall had a repair done with white duck tape. The ceiling had missing plaster and piece of paint hanging. The air conditioners (although old) worked well, but were loud. The space between the air conditioner side and the window jamb was closed off with what looked like cardboard and duck tape. Air conditioners and table lamp had extension cords plugged into power strips. While not a hazard, certainly not a good look. All in all, the Inn is nowhere near worth the money. The Restaurant is okay but also overpriced. The Staff was very nice at both the Inn and the Restaurant. Very little beach area, but the pool is very nice although it's a little bit of a walk from the Inn. All in all, I could have gone elsewhere and spent the same amount of money and had nicer accommodations with queen size beds. While we enjoyed the time we spent as a family, this is not a place we would...

When you come to this hotel you have to expect an old hotel that has been preserved. The place smells like an old place and is dusty from age. Most of the rooms are darn small but probably bigger than they would have been when it was built. My daughter was up stairs in an upgraded room to be bigger or newer, she did not feel it was either but $189 a night I had hoped it would have been a bit nicer. I understand they are redoing some of the rooms but not the ones we were in. I stayed in one of the handicap accessible rooms. The toilet woudl not flush and it was hard to get someone to plunge it, the automatic door was broken and hanging, the plastic lamp shades were cracked and broken, the shade in the bathroom window would not retract after we pulled it down. It is a large room with two queen size beds and a large bath with roll in shower. That is the nice part. Anything inside Lakeside is expensive. You come for the location. This grand old hotel build in 1878 I think, sits right on the lake. The screened porch looks out on the lake which would be wonderful if they did not have a fountain drowning out the noise of the waves. On Sat. they had music on the pavilion nearby all afternoon. I go there for quiet and rest and want to sit on the pavilion enjoing the water in peace not with loud blaring music. They could put that in the gazebo which is made for music concerts!!!! People come to the water with just to be...
