My mom and I stay at Hotel Lakeside once a year. If you look at my other reviews You'll notice that I gravitate toward high-end, boutique hotels. This does not fall into either of those categories. What I love about this hotel is the ambiance--unrivaled by anywhere else in the world. The hotel itself is a historic landmark and they've... More

We ate lunch in the Hotel Lakeside Dining room while attending the West Ohio Annual Conference of the United Methodist Church session at Lakeside. Our server, Andrea, was courteous, knowledgable and helpful. The food was delicious, and we chose a healthy entree. We had a lovely view of the grounds and a view that extended out over Lake Erie. I... More

This summer we stayed at the historic Hotel Lakeside in the "Chataqua on Lake Erie" community of Lakeside, OH. The old hotel is charming and the service is outstanding; however, the rooms are tiny and in somewhat shabby condition. The location can't be beat and if you are lucky to reserve a lake-front room with view, it is still delightful.... More

The reviews here must be primarily from those who stayed in the more expensive rooms, because the cheaper rooms don't have the same ambience whatsoever. Though the place served its purpose during a 3-night stay, the accommodations left a lot to be desired. We were especially frustrated not to have Internet access in our room, as the website reports that... More

This is an historic hotel and looks like a great place to stay. In our room we found a pair of underware in the closet, the room had not been used in a long time so everything was not clean (very dusty), cobwebs hanging from the lights, spider webs in the bathroom and last but not least a booger was...

Hotel Lakeside was built in the late 1800's but it is still just as popular today as it was back then, with considerably more human comforts like air-conditioning and elevators. This is a historic hotel, decorated in keeping with its history. (Translation - you could find a huge furniture piece in a corner of the room that takes the place... More

The wrap around skreened porch with wicker furniture and breeze off the lake alone is worth staying there. The room we stay in every year is always very clean and it's beautiful. You will not find room service or television and at night there is only one person working the desk, but it just has that wonderful safe, respectable (meaning... More

We stayed at Hotel Lakeside during the Fourth of July weekend hoping for some relaxation & peace. Perhaps it was due to the busy weekend, but this hotel is very loud. We were in a first floor "suite" - 2 queen size beds - and could hear everything the people in the room next to us were saying, were able... More

This charming Victorian get-a-way is located on the shores of Lake Erie. The hotel has a wrap around, screened porch with rockers and comfortable chairs. There is a restaurant that overlooks the lake. The food is satisfactory, but the service is very inefficient. The rooms are clean and decorated in keeping with the Victorian period. Requests to the front desk... More
