We were expecting the worst given some reviews we’d seen. The staff was great and the room exceeded our expectations.

Questions about Waterbird Lakeside Inn
What time is check-in and check-out at Waterbird Lakeside Inn?
Check-in is from 3:00 PM. Check-out is by 11:00 AM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.
Does Waterbird Lakeside Inn allow pets?
No — the property states that pets are not allowed.
Is there parking at Waterbird Lakeside Inn?
Yes — the property states that parking on site is free. Whether a space can be reserved in advance varies, so we check it against your dates.
Does Waterbird Lakeside Inn have Wi-Fi?
Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.
Does Waterbird 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.
