We just got back yesterday from staying 3 nights at the Best Western Lakeside. I had read many reviews, most pretty good, but the fews bad ones had me a little worried......., but...
Room was fairly clean, bathroom could have been a little better. As other reviews have mentioned the air conditioner was pretty loud when kicked on so being a light sleeper it kept waking me up. Everyone else slept like a log!
We had a lake view with the mini golf right outside our door. Kids enjoyed being able to play. Pools were kept clean and were great after the hot days in the parks. We didn't eat in the restaraunts, so can't comment on them, but when we passed through to the little general store they seemed very clean and inviting.
Only complaints I have and really there not complaints just something I think they could improve on. Customer service. Fine when we checked in, lady up front was nice and everything went smoothly even the ticket people took our polite no as a answer and said we're here if you change your mind. But when I took the keys back and said we were leaving, the lady up there then was a little rude and seemed not to care when I explained about the coffee maker in our room....which is my other little complaint. The website says there is a coffee maker in room. It is a one cup at a time maker, they give you 2 bags for it(I'm sure you could ask for more). It was aggravating to me cause it wouldn't ever brew my whole cup, it kept clicking off before it would finish. Oh well just something miner!
Housekeeping, though I never actually saw her, she was nice. I had left a tip every morning and asked for a couple extra towels, she did just that and washclothes. The last day she even gave me an extra coffee bag. The best was that she arranged the kids blankets and animals on the bed, they enjoyed that!
There is a Walgreens right on the corner of property that is open 24hrs. It really came in handy. Plenty of places to eat, many within walking distance.
Overall, I'd say not bad place for price and when we go back if we don't stay on Disney property I'd definately consider this place again if the price is right!
If anyone has any questions, please don't hesitate to ask, I'll do my best to answer for you!
