Clean and a great location. Our bed croaked loudly whenever we moved! Check-in took a long time because the staff person seemed preoccupied with something else.

Staff was great. We stayed there in the winter when there were no resort fees so the price was very good. No breakfast but they had coffee, fridge and microwave so we brought something for breakfast to heat up.

Staff was great. Cute, clean and convenient. Price was great for off season. Not sure if I would pay a heck of a lot more for in-season prices. It was great and onvenient, but not enough for me to pay too much more than we paid for the off-season price. Lakeside is a nice community!

We felt tucked away in an idyllic haven. The Fountain Inn room was spacious, pristine, and comfortable. The location was a convenient walk to lake Erie and all of Chatauqua’s amenities. The staff was very friendly and helpful.

Hotel does not offer the breakfast during the off season which we were not expecting. Room was clean but floor was sticky. The room itself was damp, leaving the sheets even feeling damp at night. Staff was friendly, front desk staffed around the clock. Room only supplied two pots for cooking. No skillets or cookware available.
