Great location, friendly staff, clean. Rooms and beds were average. Heating/ac unit pretty loud. Slept with the window open. Overall great visit, I would stay again, the hotel itself has a very nice historical feel to it.

Staff was friendly and helpful. Room was comfortable and quiet. Location was perfect. Loved sitting on the front porch and upper balcony. Enjoyed the new restaurant next door. Would recommend a mini fridge in the room.

October is the time to stay at the Lakeview Hotel. Just a little quieter than other months. Had great interactions with the staff, especially housekeeping. Love coming back from a long walk, and soaking in the hot tub.

Nice front porch and third floor public deck. Room door had gaps around it so we were moved to a different trim. Sign in the lobby indicates rooms to be updated for 2024. Would be nice if refrigerators were added to the rooms.

Check in was fast and easy, staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. The bed was amazingly comfortable. I would absolutely stay here again, and recommend it to anyone who asks for a good place to stay on the island.

We loved sitting on the porch and outdoor seating on floors 2&3,and employees were respectful and friendly. Beds were comfortable and hotel overall was great,the only problem we had was all the carpet stains and the musty smell in room 404,we went down town and bought room spray. Thanks again

The hotel is right across from Sheplers dock, on Main Street. It’s nicely decorated inside, and has rooms that sleep 4, which can be difficult to find on the island. Plus there is a pool and hot tub. We were very satisfied.

We stayed 3 nights and had the best time. The daily maid service was exceptional. The hotel, pool area and lobby were very well maintained. The hotel was located near the ferry, our luggage was delivered right to our room.
