Simple, clean.
David
Very old, bad damp smell inside the room. No gas stations or restaurants within walking distance. We left a day early and moved to a different hotel and lost the second night’s rent, which I was just glad to find a cleaner place.
Roy
This is a very low quality motel. The windows in room did not lock, the doors were not secure and the chair was not even tall enough to shove under the door handle. The first thing you sign is a “no refund” paper before you get to even see the room, that should have been a clear sign of what was to come.
Luke
Very clean room
Athena
It's a great price and the rooms are very clean and not too dated. The staff is the selling feature - I always saw people working hard and Neil, the owner, helped me in an emergency situation and his kindness will not be forgotten. Thank you, East Lake Inn :-)

Clean room, worked out well.
Ryan
My first time stopping here, I didn’t use the facilities if it had any basically it was just a two night’s day I was walking to the nearby hard rock Hotel Casino
Gabrielle
Decent for the price, no complaints
Scott
Floors need to be moped not just swept, no racks or hooks for your towels anywhere ( which was quite strange) no hangers, no ironing board or iron
Hudson
Room was dirty don’t stay here.

Joseph
Convenient Location and Friendly Staff.
Noel
The east lake inn is good for its price!
Brian
Was an older motel, but knew that and for the price, would stay there again as very close to the Hard Rock. Rooms were roomy and clean. Bring your own pillows and towels would be my only recommendation for any one wanting to stay here
Joel
The close proximity to the Hard Rock Casino

This motel is very run down, but it was clean and decent price.
Paul
Improvement needed
Well...if you just need a place to \"lay\" your head...it was OK. Newer mattress & better updated bathroom area is needed.
The office was a window you stood outside of and spoke through it via microphone. Not real good business practice in my eyes. For the price of the room...simply needs to be better.
Thanks!

Great overall
Donald
Everything fine, but close to highway so hear traffic all the time
Sheila
Easy to get to places the only thing no coffee pots to make coffee no water in rooms like most hotels/motels.
RON
Conveniently located has it’s pros and cons
Hotel was clean, although somewhat rundown & it did have a refrigerator and microwave although it would’ve been nice not to have to go to the office to ask for a remote control for the television, would’ve called the office unfortunately the telephone in the room was a dummy telephone that didn’t walk. There was quite a bit of traffic noise and the daycare right
next door to the hotel was quite noisy in the morning. The location was extremely convenient for our plans for the evening.
Having said that I’m grateful we didn’t have to stay a second night

CLOSE TO CASINO
Jason
This stay was all about convenance. The room was clean and close to the Mid Florida Amphitheater. If you want extra frills, it's probably not for you but the doors locked, and it was a decent rate for a night's sleep.

stand your feet on the ground and reach to star
very good

Not the greatest
Location is not accessible to food and not in an area to go out and walk nearby. Location didn’t feel safe. We also had no shampoo in our room or lotion.
Verified traveler
Nice place
It's what you pay for. Just a typical hotel. The rooms were clean and nice (looks like they were just remodeled recently), no problem checking in and had no problems with loud noice or anything. We'd stay there again.
Evana

It was a convenient stay from the Hard Rock with a few nice businesses in the area for a close walk through the area.

Excellent
Clean and comfy will definitely be staying again

Love this place
Barbara
It was planned to just be 1 sleep, from flight to leaving town. But Flight was late. We were there for 6 hours only. Don't remember much except we had no complaints. And they were kind enough to answer promptly when we buzzed in at 4:40 a.m. and they called at 10:55 for our 11:00 am checkout.
William W
I just wanted to let you know that this isn't a place to stay. Old run-down motel in an unsafe area. Check-in outside through a security window, ring the bell and someone appears and asks to pass your driver's license in an opening at the bottom of the window.
Brian
The only complaint we had was the paint on the door had been worn down to the metal. It gave the room less of a clean look.
Randy
This motel is very very basic. You check in from the outside of the office. There is a bed, chair, tv, fridge and microwave. The first room we checked into didn't have working heat so we were moved to the next room. There is no hair dryer, kleenex or toiletries. The towels are small and thin. The shower was dirty. For $300 for two nights I feel over-charged.
Hilario
It's a nice place.

Get what you pay for.
Checked in after 8 and they were able to accommodate a downstairs room. The room was mediocre clean as the ac air filter was filthy and you can seen the dirt build up in the tiles. Our shower wouldn’t drain fast so you stood in water as you showered. The towels were very stained. They came to tidy up our room while we were out. I took off the top sheet and blanket because my son’s diaper exploded over night and they put the same clearly dirty linen back on the bed. I went and picked up new sheets to put on myself. They use all flat sheets so the sheet comes off in the middle of the night. Floors made our feet black. The beds were a little firm. It overall ok. It is a “get what you pay for” situation.
Joseph
It was clean and friendly customer service.
Sarah
Weekend getaway
The room was cleans and it looks good inside. There is no shampoo or coffee. The outside looks sketchy and a little run down. The bed is not comfortable. Not bad for the price
JENNIFER
Great little Hotel to stay in, if going to a concert at the Amphitheater.
Jen
Very few ammenities. Had to request shampoo etc. AC super loud and kept us up all night. Can hear all conversations in rooms surrounding you.
Amarcus L
Clean quiet
Susan
Quick Uber to the amphitheater and casino.
Mary
Great value
I was highly impressed with east lake inn. The staff is very friendly and very helpful. The room was newly renovated and clean. Plenty of outlets and usb ports. Great location being a mile from hard rock casino and right off the free way, Room looks just like the pictures.
Matthew
Room was very clean only problem was the beds aren’t real comfortable for more than one night
Ann Mari
Clean but kind of icky
It was ok. We basically slept there. The bed was comfy but they did not provide shampoo, hair dryer. The towels were small and very thin. They did provide a small microwave a d refrigerator. There were no bugs but the outside stairs needed to be power washed. Will not stay there again
Dominique
Love the staff
Susan
The rooms and property were clean and quiet, and the neighborhood felt safe. Perfect for a one night stay after a concert. You could technically walk to the ampitheatre or the casino, but we chose to Uber which was quick and convenient.
Jason
Room was clean, AC was cold although it wasn't on when we got there. Overall would stay there again.

I did not stay it looked like a war zone and not a safe area at all.
Cynthia
The hotel was clean, easily accessible to activity sites and shopping. It appeared to be recently refurbished with updated furnishings and low step shower. Staff were friendly and available when needed
Dorothy
Not friendly check in
SANDRA
Our room was on the 2nd floor and it had been remodeled. It was clean and comfortable. A fridge was in the room.
I didn't like that there was no coffee or coffee pot provided. It was a comfortable stay for 1 night but don't expect the Hilton.

Old, small parking lot.
