What guests think

At Lakeside Hotel Casino, a Travelodge by Wyndham, travellers frequently note clean, comfortable rooms and friendly staff, but also recurring smoke odor from the casino drifting into hallways and some non smoking rooms.

The property offers an on-site casino and easy parking, though the pool and hot tub are sometimes closed or out of service. Dining feedback is mixed, with several praising the restaurant or buffet but many frustrated by limited hours and late or no breakfast. Rooms are often spacious, yet dated decor and noise from adjoining rooms or upper floors are noted; lake views are a highlight for some. Overall, expect a convenient stop with gaming and lake scenery, but variable conditions and limited in-room amenities.

Facilities

On-site casino and ample, well lit parking are appreciated. The indoor pool and especially the hot tub are frequently closed or out of service, and smoking in the casino allows odors to drift into hotel areas; some also note a long walk between spaces.

Staff very friendly and helpful. Room was clean. Quite a ways to walk to the casino area. Had to put room key in a slot to be able to turn lights on - that was different. Had to ask for an iron, but most people probably don't use one.

So disappointed in our stay at Lakeside Casino and hotel. The hot tub was not functional, it was empty and blocked up. The pool was green. The only restaurant was closed with no reason but there were people in it eating, all the tv’s were on and workers present. We choose this property for the amenities. The front desk did not inform us upon check in of any of these items not being functional or open or we would have choose to stay somewhere else. I am so upset with our experience. I emailed the company and left a hand written review asking them to contact me. Only time will tell if they remedy our miserable situation we went through. I would suggest staying somewhere else. Don’t waste your money here. You’ll be sorry you did!

Casio and restaurant are nice. Parking is easy. Hotel is outdated but clean. Smells of tobacco smoke throughout even in non smoking. Rooms eco terribly. Can hear neighbors talking, hallway noise, and every footstep on floor above.

Hotel didn’t have any sit down breakfast options. No coffee pot or microwave in the room. Being attached to a casino, one would think they would have more food options in the the restaurant they have. Casino staff was very helpful. The hot tub wasn’t I working order and the one day we planned for the whole fam to go swimming, they shut the pool down. All the hotel staff could say is they didn’t know why but had orders to shut it down.

The front desk worker when we checked in was not friendly. She didn’t welcome us, no smile, didn’t tell us anything about the hotel such as when breakfast begins at the restaurant. We went down at 7am because we had an early day. It doesn’t start until 9:00! The hotel has a smell of cigarettes throughout, even non smoking rooms. I’m sure it’s from people in the casino who walk through the halls. The standard rooms are run down; only 1 wash cloth was in the bathroom. Toilet paper is thin as could be. My husband and I have stayed here a number of times, but now that we have a child it totally changes things. We will never stay here again.

Hotel was dated, in need of upgrade. First room we got was on the ground floor with a door to an outdoor patio. It looked as if someone had tried to pry it open and had a gap of about 1 inch where it did not close on the top. 2nd room was fine. Carpet was worn and wallpaper was peeling.

The walls are paper thin. You can hear everything going on around you. The shower drains don't work so the tub fills up with water while you shower. The smell of smoke is prominent even in non smoking rooms. I recommend staying elsewhere.

The 3 nights we stayed there we did not have our room serviced once. Even with leaving the “Please Service Our Room” sign inserted into the key slot like prompted. The lobby and open restroom was nicely kept. The hallway smelled like cigarettes but we are connected to a casino so that wasn’t an issue. Overall the stay was great. I just wish we would’ve have our room kept up with. We had to go to the front desk every night requesting shower towels which felt inconvenient for not just us but also the front desk associate.

I had an allergic reaction to the laundry soap they use to wash bedding, towels and such in. The staff at 1 at night when this incident started happening couldn't tell me what kind of soap it was. In the little "store" in the lobby there was no benadryl. And when I asked the night staff who wpuld know what kind of soap, they said that they could try and find out what kind of soap it was but would send "security/medical" to check on me. I work in the medical field and everything in our office that we use for anything, even it's just to clean something after hours, we have to have a sheet listening all chemicals, soaps and their ingredients. Furthermore the "security/medical" didnt even have benadryl in their bag of equipment. Granted they offered me an ambulance but it was not that kind of situation. When we told the night staff we were leaving at midnight, no compensation was offered, still hasnt been offered nor have I gotten a receipt that I have called and asked for. By the way when I called to ask for a receipt, they didn't ask how I was either.

We stopped here to spend the night while traveling through Osceola. Very convenient to the Interstate, close to restaurants and a nice park for a quick walk on a paved trail (Q Pond City Park). They did charge us an additional $13 "resort fee" that was not included in the Expedia price. If you don't have pets, make sure that you are not in the pet area. We were next to a dog that would not stop barking and whining. Probably while their owner was at the casino. Otherwise the hotel would be quiet.

We had a great time at your casino. We ate in the restaurant on the evening of our arrival, and in the coffee shop for breakfast. Both were very good! We enjoyed gaming and won a bit of money. We also had some great promotions. We didn't have time to use the pool, but plan to on our next stay. The bed was super comfortable, and the room was well appointed. We will definitely be back!
