What guests think

At Best Western Lakewinds, travelers consistently highlight clean rooms, friendly staff, and family friendly amenities like the pool, hot tub, arcade, and playground, while noting occasional maintenance disruptions from renovations and elevator outages that can affect convenience.

Breakfast is commonly described as good with hot items and waffles, though some guests find the selection limited or repetitive and the area busy at peak times. Rooms feel updated and comfortable, but a number are compact and some guests report noise from the pool area or neighboring rooms; bed comfort and pillow size receive mixed feedback. The location is convenient for the Badger ferry, Lake Michigan, and dining, but it is not lakeside and sits by fairgrounds or RV parks. Expect a practical, comfortable stay with solid value and a few quirks.

The "Family Suite" has no privacy. There is no door separating the 2 "rooms". The bathroom is so compact you have to stand between the toilet and tub to close the door. The elevator was not functional and had not been for days. We were not notified of this which created more of an issue as we were on the second floor and my husband is disabled. We purchased the insurance through Expedia, but learned Best Western would not honor it. They told us we could not get a refund or change rooms. We have stayed at Best Western locations many times before and had great experiences. This location did not meet that mark.

We were staying on the third floor in the middle of the building, and the balcony overlooked the inside pool. So we weren't able to sleep in peace until 11 p.m. The elevator got stuck twice on different floors (2 and 3), so when it finally opened, we got off and used the stairs the rest of the time. At that time (8:30 p.m.), we went to reception to report the problem, and a sign said we'd be back shortly.

Check in was fast and efficient. Our credit card was not charged until we checked out and there was no added fees for security deposit. The only downside was we had a poolside balcony room that was very noisy from people using the pool area. If we would have known this we would have asked for a different room.

Nice lobby area to hang out in with friends. Conveniently located to downtown and right across from an amazing Mexican restaurant! Highly recommend this place.

Bring a little patience at breakfast, as they do run out of things, but are quick to replenish. Overall, it was a basic overnight stay, with phenomenal employees!

It wasn’t clear in the description of the property that this was the case. It was clean and served a good breakfast.

County fairgrounds is across the street and a massive RV park is behind the property making for an interesting location. However, room was clean and neat. The one drawback was our room was across from a laundry area and someone decided to try there shoes in the dryer at midnight directly across the hall from the doorway to our review. It woke everyone in our room up until the cycle was done. Free breakfast was okay but completely overrun and we had to wait 30 minutes just for a cup of coffee.
