SteveThought the property sits on the lakefront, most of the rooms have a view of the outdoor restaurant or the roof over the restaurant Instead of the lake. The onsite restaurant is only open from Memorial Day thru Labor…

- Whether the rate moves for your dates, and what it includes.
- What the property actually charges at the desk on top of the rate.
Questions about Lakeside Inn
What time is check-in and check-out at Lakeside Inn?
Check-in is from 3:00 PM. Check-out is by 10:00 AM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.
Does Lakeside Inn allow pets?
No — the property states that pets are not allowed.
Is there parking at Lakeside Inn?
Parking is listed among the property's facilities. Whether it's free and whether a space can be reserved varies, so we check it against your dates rather than promise it here.
Does Lakeside Inn have Wi-Fi?
Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.
Does Lakeside Inn have wheelchair accessible rooms?
The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.
How do I book Lakeside Inn?
Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
