We checked in on June 4th. During check in the clerk asked if we booked on line. We told her yes, and then she asked if I had my paperwork. She adjusted the rate in the computer, and reminded us about daily resort fee. That poor girl looked as if she was waiting to get blasted from us about the daily resort fee. We told her that we already knew about it, and that it was fine with us. We paid $39 per nite through hotelplusportal.com The total for 8 days/7 nights was $345.59 including the resort fee. The entire check in process took less than ten minutes.
We had no trouble finding our room. Upon entering we were pleasantly surprised. We had a studio with two queen beds and a pull out couch. It was clean and spacious. The beds weren't as comfortable as home, but they were fine. Our son slept directly on the couch because the bar bothered him. He thought it was cool that he got to sleep on the couch, so we didn't hear any complaints after that. Our only disappointment was that we didn't have many cooking items. There were two pots, two bowls, one slotted spoon, and one non-slotted spoon. They did bring new pots the day before we left. There was one large pot with a lid, one small with a lid, and a fry pan. There was one potholder. Our dinnerware and silverware were service for four. We were given dish soap, and dishwasher soap as well. There was a stove, a full size refrigerator with a freezer on top, and a microwave. The freezer had a built in ice maker, which came in handy.
The maid service was great. They were usually there after 9 a.m. They made the beds, gave us fresh towels, cleaned the bathroom and vanity area, and vacuumed if needed. They even put the dishes in the dishwasher for us once even though there were only two glasses in the sink. There were a couple of days that we didn't need any service, so they asked us to sign a paper.
The continental breakfast worked out well for us. There was coffee (high octane and decaffeinated), tea, juices, milk, bread for toasting, muffins, fruit, waffles (for toasting), french toast, bagels, and two different types of cereals. They also had small packets of peanut butter, jelly, cream cheese, syrup, and sugar. The staff was attentive and refilled things when needed. The breakfast area was a bit crowded after 9 a.m. so we always tried to get there before then. Another thing to add about breakfast is that they may offer you a time share pitch for cheaper park tickets. They didn't ask everyone, just some people. We told them no thank you and they never asked us again.
The grounds need a bit of sprucing up. However, you can tell that they are really trying. We saw staff around during the day and evenings. The pool was clean (not spotless) and acceptable. There was always a fresh supply of clean towels available as well. They did have a bar area at the pool, but it never opened while we were there. They also have a guest laundry, but we never used it so I can't really comment on that.
Over all we enjoyed our stay. We were just looking for a no frills, clean, comfortable place to lay our weary heads at night. Lake Suites Hotel was perfect for that. The continental breakfast and kitchen were a nice bonus. Both of which saved us a nice chunk of change. So, if you are looking for the same (clean and no frills) it's fine. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. I will answer them as best as I can.
