We stayed at Lakeside as we were attending a beautiful wedding this past wknd.
This was the most incredible experience in terms of covering every touch point from check-in to checkout!!
Personal check-in to your room, incredible property with so much thought put into every aspect. The views, the food, the professionally trained staff and service, 5 star plus plus!!
We can’t wait to return to the county and book another visit next summer!
Until then, cheers Laura, we’ll be back to the “White Lotus” :)

My wife and I stayed here for two nights and while it was memorable, everything about the property felt very transactional and there’s a lot of rules that really cut back on fun/enjoyment.

On the positive, the room was spacious, AC worked well, and the pool was nice. There is a dedicated parking spot for guests and it is walking distance to a great cafe and restaurant. There’s a firepit in the evenings. We paid $25 for earlier check in at 1pm to maximize the use of the pool.

On the downside, the pool is only opened 10-6pm which is a bit early close for the summer months where sunset is 830-9pm. Check in is at 3pm and check out before 11am which makes it a bit difficult to enjoy ample time there. The restaurant was pricey for what they served, and the number of times we were asked if we wanted anything while trying to sit out by the fire pits in the evening was not enjoyable. Every amenity felt like it came with a sales pitch for food or drinks. Plenty of rules of no water bottles in the restaurant and pool areas, no food, etc which seems very counterintuitive to the “motel-like” experience but I understand they have day-use pool users that they want to capitalize on.

We would not return as a motel guest as there are really not many benefits of being a guest at the Lakeside and the experience does not justify the price/value of the stay.

We enjoyed our one night stay despite the plethora of rules. Room was clean and comfortable. The food and drinks were quite good. Pool was very refreshing however found the non stop music annoying when trying to relax. The Lakeside Motel is a neat concept but overpriced for weekends or holidays.

Weather was poor which put a damper on trip, no fault of the resort. Fires could have been started earlier in the day for people who wanted to sit outside. There is no coffee in the rooms which is a huge downfall as they don't serve it until 8-8:30am. Adding coffee to rooms would really add to the experience. Some wear and tear on rooms starting to show up since I was here last. Toilet wouldn't flush unless took off the back cover. Price of shower kits has increased. Was so looking forward to my stay. I always recommend Lakeside but was a little underwhelmed this time unfortunately.

Adorable spot. Loved the room we booked (the 10) which had great light. It was a quick walk to Wellington’s main strip and the Drake which was also great. Excellent base for time in the county, even if the pool was the closed for the season.

Very nice property but not a place to go in the off season for the price that they charge! No pool, restaurant because of the season totally understand that but they should adjust their pricing the rooms are small very clean but can hear the noise from the other rooms.

One of a kind!

What a great stay at The Lakeside! I give it 5 stars for the rare-in-Canada pros listed here, but there are a few cons.
Cons:
-Cost: but I must say it is a great place that deserves charging more than the average hotels. I guess the issue is that even the below-average ones are very expensive in Canada, increasing all places' rates;
-Pool hours: during the Summer, I would strongly prefer that the pool would be open until 8pm, at least, for overnight guests only. If the issue is pool service (food & drinks), I believe there is no need for the pool to have service until the end. 6pm is enough for the service - like it is now.
-Bed: The only downside at the room is the bed that, having an iron frame, made a noise everytime I moved during the night. A bit disturbing.
Pros:
-Service: outstanding! From the friendly front staff to the restaurant servers and pool staff, everyone has a smile for you and makes you feel appreciated!
-Pool: amazing! Water temperature was great, size is good (but it gets crowded on a sunny day of Summer), many chairs (staff went above and beyond to find me a place), very nice environment!
-Restaurant: service was awesome, food was tasty (calamari, burger' salad was 100%, pesto pizza...) and the view.... wow! Unforgettable. At night, the place gets charming lighting, cozy tropical vibes. The mosquitoes? Not welcome! But it is expected since we're right by the lake. The bug sprays offered are appreciated!
-The whole place decor: OUTSTANDING! Top notch!

Overall, I thought the property was very lovely and finished very nicely. The patio at the back overlooking the water is beautiful. One issue with the hotel is that they have a speaker on the outside of the office building that plays loud music all day until 9pm. I understand that it is the same music that is around the pool but it is disruptive to the rooms that are close to the office. The other issue is that it is very dark in the bathroom, it could use a bit more lighting.

Not soundproof, loud fireplace in room

The service onsite was very friendly and helpful. However, the rooms are not soundproof. We were there on weekdays where the motel was not full, it was always us and one other guest. For some reason they decided to put all occupied rooms right next to each other even though there were so many other empty rooms. You could hear anytime someone walked around in the room next to you.

Another thing, as a light sleeper the fireplace in the room woke me up every time time it turned on and was turning off. So I woke up about 5-7 times both nights.

The hot tub on site is not free for guests and comes at an additional cost which was disappointing since the room already cost quite a bit.

We were there during the Fall so we had less access to all their amenities for the same price people pay in the summer for akk access to amenities. Their pool and on site restaurant/bar were all closed.

The area the motel is located in is walkable so it is very convenient which I do appreciate. That being said, it is a small town so everything is closed very early.

Overall, the service was good and I do believe the spot is beautiful by the water, with a modern interior design however I do not believe it is worth the price that I paid. I think if they were to offer more services for guests in the fall and soundproof the rooms better, perhaps the price could be justified.

What an absolute gem of a place. We stayed for one night to finish our vacation in the county, family of four with a teenager and 8 year old. We all loved the Lakeside Motel! The room was comfortable with everything we needed and nice modern decor. The pool area is amazing and the restaurant served great food with a beautiful view. We will definitely be back.

The pool was full of people and not relaxing. They allow people who are not staying at the hotel to have day passes to the pool so it gets busy. Hotel guests are not given precedence for lawn chairs or pool beds so it’s first come first served even for those who are staying at the hotel. The hotel guests should be able to reserve the pool beds and loungers with prioritization given to them.

Bathroom had a strange smell and the room was not ready at the check in time. We were not even offered a free drink by the pool while we waited for the room to be ready. For the price you pay, the service is below standard and the overall experience was not comparable to other hotels within the same price range both locally and internationally. Lots of room to improve on basic service.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at the Lakeside Motel in Prince Edward County, and I cannot recommend it highly enough! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warm hospitality and a serene, welcoming atmosphere. The location is simply breathtaking, with stunning views of the lake that provided a perfect backdrop for a relaxing getaway.

The rooms were impeccably clean, beautifully decorated, and equipped with all the modern amenities needed for a comfortable stay. The attention to detail was evident in every aspect, from the cozy bedding to the thoughtful touches that made us feel right at home.

The staff went above and beyond to ensure our stay was enjoyable. They were incredibly helpful with recommendations for local attractions and dining options, and always greeted us with a smile. The motel’s grounds were well-maintained and offered plenty of space to unwind, whether it was lounging by the lake or enjoying a peaceful evening by the fire pit.

One of the highlights of our stay was the convenience of being close to many of the county’s best wineries and charming shops. It made exploring the area a breeze and added to the overall experience.

In summary, the Lakeside Motel exceeded all of our expectations. It is a hidden gem in Prince Edward County, offering a perfect blend of comfort, charm, and exceptional service. We left feeling refreshed and rejuvenated, and we can’t wait to return. Thank you, Lakeside Motel, for an unforgettable stay!

The property was very clean. It was a quiet place to relax. The food was very good at their restaurant but on the upper scale of prices. The pool was beautiful and there were lots of loungers. There was no breakfast until 11 and the town on Wellington was limited to breakfast options. There is a fridge in the room so you could bring food for a breakfast option.
The staff were very friendly.

We stayed one night for our anniversary. This special occasion was shared with the motel when we booked. There was no acknowledgment by them during our stay that this was a special anniversary. We booked a room with a fireplace intentionally; when we arrived the fireplace did not work. The maintenance woman was so rude and shamed us for even wanting to use it. She said she could call maintenance guy but he would have to come from his home, emphasizing the inconvenience so we didn’t get to use it. Very rude and unhelpful. Otherwise the room was nice and liked the Le Labo products. Motel is in a good location and has a nice pool (as long as you don’t mind loud techno music in the afternoon ~ not my vibe). Restaurant food is disappointing ($30 burger was cold). Courtney at the pool was unhelpful and unpleasant. Made us go to the office to get towel coupons even though we were guests and made a big deal about me holding my wristband instead of wearing it. Overall decent place but definitely not luxury and not worth the $. Will not stay again.

Brian the manager was incredible, we stayed for 1 one night on a beautiful February day - he was looked after us by serving drinks and starting bon fires by the water. The Place was clean and well maintained. Great location! was quiet but it was off season so I'd assume in the summer months that place would be hopping as its set up for a very social scene. Great stay! Thanks Brian!
