The room we got has no window, it smells very bad when we got into the room. The hotel provides guests dark grey color towels and comforter, you even don’t know whether they are clean or not. We booked two night, but just stayed one night and ran away. We couldn’t sleep in this horrible smells room

We had a great stay at Lakeside Motel and Apartments, staying in a one bedroom apartment. The apartment was very clean, comfortable, and well maintained. The kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed, which made our stay even more convenient. Parking was extremely convenient, located right by the door of the apartment. There was also a laundry facility available, which was very useful. The location is excellent, close to many restaurants and stores. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it.
