Likes the old time feel!
Chelsey, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Beds were pretty firm and our room was right around the corner from the lobby so noise was an issue unfortunately. Surrounding area is very cute and walkable.

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.

Lakeside Escape
It was one of the most relaxing and enjoyable getaway. It was clean and cozy, everyone was so helpful and kind. I will definitely be back.

It accommodated our large famuily with a day bed, trundle and 2 other beds just fine. The $25 voucher was a treat!

I was shocked by gate fees and resort fees that were double the price of the room. I would not book in the Lakeside area again due to the hidden fees.
Angela, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

Although our room was clean it was very outdated. You must pay a fee to enter Lakeside - we paid $95, $40 for the two of us and $15 for our car to enter. Parking was a nightmare, the hotel only has a few parking spots and finding a place to park was exhausting. We had another reservation set for August which I have cancelled - booked an Airbnb instead which has ample parking, no Lakeside entry fees and updated living spaces.

2/10 Poor

Mildew Smell
Room had a strong mildew smell. When sharing my concern with the front desk, they admitted to having 3 other complaints with the same issue that day. It’s been an issue with first floor rooms. The manager said there’s nothing that can be done as the 1st floor rooms are half under ground. Toilet seat was about to fall off, super loose. Room was very outdated. Breakfast is not on site, they give you a voucher to bring to an off site restaurant, max $25 for the family. We ended up checking out as all other rooms were booked. Hotel apologized and refunded in full.
