My visit to Lakeside Hotel was quite disappointing. The casino was unexpectedly closed during our visit, leaving us frustrated after traveling a long distance. The staff was not very helpful, and the facility itself had a lingering unpleasant smell. Overall, I felt that my experience did not match my expectations, especially given the trip's anticipation.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. On one hand, the cleanliness and modern touches were a definite plus, making the stay overall pleasant. However, the room's issues with temperature control and some shortcomings in service brought my rating down. The resort fee felt a bit steep given that most amenities were not available during my stay.

This hotel has a lovely setting near the lake, and my room was spotless and very comfortable. The check-in process was quick, which was great. However, I found the gambling options to be a bit outdated and not very appealing. Also, while the buffet was decent, I did feel there could have been a bit more variety offered for breakfast.

The RV park at the casino had decent spots with a grassy area and picnic table, but the lack of restrooms and showers was disappointing. The walk to the casino was short, but the gaming experience was not favorable with tight machines. The restaurant food was good, but the service felt understaffed. Overall, it was a mixed experience with pros and cons that could use improvement.

My stay at Lakeside was a mixed bag. The room was clean and comfortable, but there were issues like a non-working TV and a lack of in-room coffee-making facilities. The casino was disappointingly quiet with high minimum bets. Overall, I wasn't thrilled and expected more given my previous visits.
