“Pass if you are into esthetics”
Dirty room, outdated decor and pricing games.
“Will never stay there again”
The toilet had black stuff growing in it, the door hinges were molded and the beds were damp.
“Stay Away”
Where to Start? Even though it says the hotel has a pool and miniture golf as well as free parking & shuttle buses you have to pay $7.50 per day for these free features or you cannot stay.The resort fee of $7.5/day is simply stupid especially when you know you are not going to use any of them. The hotel management knows it very well that the fees is so unpopular so they make you sign a waiver acknowledging those addon fees and you cannot dispute them later. Problems with the room include: Non working keys and a low battery on the door make it a challenge to get into your room. Extremely filthy carpets, dirty coffee maker, Internet did not work to start with and had to call an Engginner to get it fixed who did not want to do anything with it but gave me a number to call and fix it myself.
“will find another place to stay”
upon arrival room smelled of pee and chemical cleaner. air conditioner was faulty and replaced within the first hour of our arrival. beds were covered but just barely. refrigerator did not keep things cool. floor and beds showed heavy wear.
“Lakeside Maingate West - ok”
Relatively cheap, only downside is the walls are a bit thin.
“door locked us out”
we were locked out of our room twice! once in pjs after getting ice! and the room could of been cleaner. there were spider webs and dead bugs in more than one corner. but overall for the PRICE it was ok.
“Hidden fees”
No elevators for second floor rooms. Hotel computers (provided by a subcontractor) and for which you had to pay with cash or credit card were not working. However, the desk agent allowed me to print some business documents in his office for which I was most appreciative. We got a special rate on Expedia, but when we checked in, there was an additional $7.50 per day "resort fee". It didn't seem like a resort to me so I took it as just another way to charge more. There were some kind of black spots on the bathtub after we took a shower which we couldn't figure out what it was????? The hotel is located a long way from everything! Breakfast is $9.50 per person.
“reasonable stay”
Internet never worked in room.
“Will be going back”
Very clean and close to everything. We were able to see the fireworks from disney at our room.
“Worst Hotel”
We stayed at this place for 2 nights until we were able to check in our room at the Boardwalk. First thing when we got in there was a dirty wash cloth in the bathroom. The next day we had little bugs all over the furniture. The carpets where dirty and the shower was aweful. The only thing that was nice at this hotel was the Buffet. I wouldn't pay $20/night to stay there. Worst hotel I have ever stayed at.
