At Lakeshor Motor Inn, travelers describe a clean, comfortable, no‑frills stay in an older, well‑kept motor lodge with friendly service, drive‑up convenience, and a scenic, convenient location near lakes, walking paths, and downtown amenities.

Many reviews highlight good value, easy check-in, quiet nights, and thoughtful touches like a complimentary snack basket, in-room coffee, fridge and microwave, or full kitchen in some suites. Drawbacks include dated decor, occasionally small rooms, intermittent AC or noise issues, limited parking or office hours affecting ice access, and a few isolated cleanliness lapses. Expect a straightforward, budget stay in a handy lakeside location.

Check in was simple, I parked right in front of my room, (which made unloading/loading my ski gear a breeze!), the room was exactly what I was hoping for - clean & comfortable, and the shower was HOT! Bonus - the room has a coffee pot, a microwave, and a mini fridge, so packing food for the trip saved $, time, and calories! I didn’t make it to the sauna as I didn’t pack a robe to get to/from the sauna outside. I will try it next time, though! It’s not fancy, but for the price point, it exceeded my expectations!!! (There’s always a fear of what you will get for under $100/night, but rest assured, this place won’t send you packing with creepy crawlies!)

No way the main office should ever close one because the ice machine is in there and if something happens to the apartment TV doesn’t work you need to get the Wi-Fi passcode or something like that. That’s the first hotel I’ve ever stayed in and I’ve stayed in many that’s never been open 24 hours. It might’ve been full and thinking. That is OK to go home early because every room was filled up but people need things things happen and when there’s nobody there to call or anything like that otherwise everything else was good.

We were super happy the one night we stayed here - l loved the lofted ceiling in our room and on a warmer day could imagine enjoying some time out on the deck. I accidentally reserved a one bed room for 3 of us and they were quick to accommodate us with a cot, that my son found to be very comfortable. We would definitely stay here again.

Owners and family enter rooms with no authorization. ( Occurred again last night 8-27-25) Co worker’s reported the same. The pet rules change depending on their mood. Stayed two separate occasions and was told an imaginary dog rule was implemented whereby the dog must be with me when I go to work. I gave them the benefit of the doubt going in the room last week.Highly unprofessional when confronted on room entry and they admitted to it, but saw no problem if no items were stolen.and no reasonable expectation of privacy as guaranteed by law. Because the owners do not abide by their own rules nor State Law. I would highly not recommend staying there for any period of time. The facility was loud overnight on a Monday due to Adam the owner’s buddies and family were there. No expectation of privacy, an extraordinary rude set of owners, who defy local and State law. You are rolling the dice—especially if you have pets. If you leave the motel—-THEY WILL ENTER

I accidentally locked myself out of my room close to midnight after the office was closed and I had to contact them to get a second key and not only were they understanding they were so kind I couldn't believe it. Anytime I stay up on the range that is my go-to place so if you're on the fence stay here I guarantee you will love it

I enjoyed my stay. Comfortable rooms and easy parking. I appreciated that I had a refrigerator, microwave and coffee pot. I really liked the area as across the street from my room was a small lake that had a walking path all around it and benches to sit and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. It was convenient that there was a grocery store and a whole foods co-op within short walking distance of the motel.

Great value in Virginia. Clean room. Friendly staff. Goodie basket for guests in room. Quiet. Scenic location between 2 lakes. Unfortunately, the fishing pier and the edge of the parking area had several homeless people sleeping there. I couldn't fish there in the morning. A woman was sleeping on the pier with her belongings, thus claiming the pier. I wish the city/county would clean that up. But, the lodging experience was top notch. Would stay again, just wouldn't plan on fishing across the street.

It was nice to have a mini fridge/freezer and microwave in my room. I was here on business and it was nice to be able to fix food in my own room rather than eat fast food. Speaking of food, they left out a complimentary basket of snacks and water for me in my room! There's a nice balcony area to sit out on when the weather is nice with a view of the lake. I would definitely stay here again for work or play!
