Hotel berhampiran Innovative Jewellery, Picton

Just spent 2 nights in The House Next Door room 10 of the Waring House. For the nightly of $275 I was shocked at the room. I was part of a large group, and unfortunately there were no other rooms available or I would have checked out. To start with, in the bathroom there was a large section of black mold along the floor board, the caulking along the bottom of shower stall as well as the track were in need of deep cleaning, same with the floor of the shower since I don’t think it was meant to be grey. The sinks were cracked and unbelievably the clothes rail (only place to hang clothes up) was right next to the toilet! After my shower I hung up my towel & the towel bar came crashing down from the wall. The lights in the room were either entirely off or all on as they seemed to be on the same circuit. Same goes for the electrical outlets, so I couldn’t charge my phone once the lights were out. The manager seemed shocked when I showed her the photos, apologized and offered a small discount but it really didn’t make up for a truly awful room. It needs to be gutted and they should start over again.

對於很晚到達的我們來説，酒店給我們很好的體驗。有充電車位，旁邊有好吃的早餐廳咖啡館，離附近的酒莊也不遠。推薦。

This is our second time at Lakeside and it has gotten worse. I’m so disappointed. We arrived early and used the pool while we waited for our room and the front desk called me early asking if I wanted to do early check in for $25, really? Then, while at the pool there was an accident so we weren’t able to go in for the last 2 hours of the day. Ok fine. And I have to agree with the last review on here - sooo many rules especially around the pool with the buzzer going off every second. We get our room and then there’s a biggggggg bug in the wash room which we were able to get into the garbage can. I advise front desk who said they’ll take care of while we were at dinner. Come back from dinner and it’s still there, very gross. Called front desk and they finally took care of it and said yeah these things happen we have trees. Ok so a motel is ok with bugs in the bathroom. Nice. My last complaint is that at the pool, the menu says there is a gratuity of 20% when there is 6 or more people. I was charged gratuity both times and we were only 2 people. Not happy!!

Check in was simple. Our credit card was charged the moment we arrived and the receipt was delivered to our room on the day of our departure. We saw a security guard doing his rounds in the lobby at night. Our family stayed here during the civic holiday long weekend in the 2 queen bed suite on the main floor. We did not hear any noise coming in from the hallway during our stay. Our room was bright, clean, spacious and beds were comfy. Sofa bed was an added bonus. As well as the mini fridge, kuerig coffee machine and microwave. Lots of storage and shelves to place our items. The parking lot was full in the front but around the back, there’s plenty of spaces available. The outdoor patio was great for relaxing while we helped ourselves to the complimentary cookies, coffee, tea and water. Sandbanks provincial park is 40 mins away. Breakfast lounge was uncrowded when we went at 7 am and the options were fantastic. There was cheese omelette, baked beans, sausages and breakfast potatoes. In the cooler, we found hard boiled eggs, yogurt, cream cheese and milk. The opposite table had hot buns, butter, jam, peanut butter, muffins, fruits, bagels, english muffins, and toast. There were also assorted cereal and pancakes. The location was superb. Walking distance to lots of restaurants, fast food eateries, grocery stores and coffee shops. Shopping mall and highway is conveniently close by. Overall I would return and recommend this hotel. This place is modern, close to everything, the staff were friendly and polite and the price was reasonable. We had a fantastic stay.
