10/10 Excellent

We picked Lakeside Inn because it was on Clear Lake, and it didn't disappoint. We took the kids to the city beach and we all loved it. Then, back to the room and there was a great restaurant/lounge right next door--all outdoor tables--where we had dinner and watched the sun go down over the lake. Don't miss the donut place a half mile north in the morning. The best!

Penny, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Nice small hotel on the Clear Lake waterfront. I arrived at 8pm after the front desk closed but the hotel provides clear easy to follow instructions for self check-in. Room was nice with a patio/view of Clear Lake. Restaurant/hotel was full from Ragbrai guests prepping for the next days ride. I left the next morning early before the front desk arrived.. around 645am. A few small issues- sink in bathroom was not properly attached to wall and needed repair. Coffee pods were in the room but would have preferred fresh made coffee in the lobby. I would stay here again.
