We had an interesting experience at this hotel. While the location was decent and the staff was friendly, the accommodations left much to be desired. Our rooms were small and not very well-appointed, and the amenities were lacking. On the plus side, it was clean and offered a simple breakfast, but overall, I wouldn't recommend it for anyone on a tight budget.

I had a mixed experience at the Lakeside Resort. While my stay in the new Lake View standalone Cabin was fabulous with breathtaking views and modern amenities, the overall state of the resort felt compromised due to ongoing renovations and misleading descriptions. The location was a letdown as it was situated on a busy road, making it hard to relax. However, the cleanliness and the cabin's spacious layout were highlights of my stay.

We had a wonderful stay in the new cabins, which were spacious and well-appointed, making it a great option for travelers with pets. The breakfast offered a nice selection, and we enjoyed spending evenings by the fire pit. However, there were some issues with the TV placement in the cabin and some customer service challenges that left us wanting more.

The cabins were spacious, beautifully designed with a nice king bed, and a walk-in shower that was delightful. However, the TV was awkwardly placed, making it tough to watch comfortably from the couch.

The cabins are situated with a lovely view of the lake, and there's a nice grassy area for pets to run around. The path along the creek added to the charm.

My stay at Lakeside Resort was quite pleasant due to its stunning views of Seneca Lake and convenient location near Watkins Glen, but the accommodations felt dated and in need of updates. While the staff was friendly and the breakfast was decent enough, I encountered several issues with the room's amenities that detracted from my overall experience. However, the peace and tranquility of the setting were certainly highlights.

My stay at this resort was a mixed bag. While the room was clean and cozy, and the staff were friendly, the overall experience felt lacking, especially considering the price we paid. The location wasn't quite what I expected as it was set back from the lake without easy access, and the dining options were limited. Overall, it's decent for a night's sleep but not ideal for a relaxing getaway.

Rooms

Our room was clean but on the smaller side. It had two beds, which was fine, but the layout was a bit awkward. I would rate the rooms a 6 out of 10 due to limited space and some quirks.

The resort is set quite a ways back from the lake, which was disappointing. It is also too close to the road, making it noisy at times. I'd give the location a 5 out of 10 as it doesn't quite deliver on the lake experience.

The dining options were limited, and I was hoping for breakfast, but it wasn't offered as a part of our stay. I would rate dining a 4 out of 10.

Facilities
