Love the vintage feel of this property and the spacious deck overlooking the lake!
Could update the patio chairs to a bit more comfortable as we sat out there for a long time in evening
Die Lage ist sehr schön
Es waren überall Haare und Spinnweben, der Wäscheservice wechselt wohl nur die Bettwäsche. Es war die schmutzigste Unterkunpft unser 4 wöchigen Reise durch Kanada.
Nettes Motel am Stadteingang mit Blick auf den See und eigener Minigolfanlage
The view from the room was awesome...close to restaurants
Tv channels were limited to my likes but found a couple not bad...would have been nice to have had a toaster...
Due to an unexpected issue during our trip (the arrival of my van on a tow truck) I needed to extend my stay for one of the rooms I had originally reserved. The staff was not only sympathetic and helpful with the arrangements, they also made sure that my comfort was taken care of. Extra visits from housekeeping to make sure I had what I needed were really appreciated. Although I had booked the 2 extra nights I only needed to stay for one. Thank you to the staff for your courtesy in allowing my vehicle to be towed into the lot and parked by my room until it could be removed by a second tow truck.
As usual nothing I really disliked other than the fact that I didn't have a room with a view of the water. I know it's luck of the draw for the view and this time just wasn't my time.
no AC
View wS perfect. Deck was great. Turning car around easy. Locating the motel was hard.
Better sign
I didn’t know there was a breakfast available.
Can’t think of anything.
While the motel was perfect for location, it is now very old and some of the facilities need replacement e.g. the cooker and the kitchen cabinets
Has everyones you need , great value , good view
A nice little motel tucked away, nice and quiet.
I had to go up and down the stairs with my luggage and baby in tow.
The location was easy to find
Brown towels
The location is convenience.. the kids had a lot of fun with the mini golf
no A/C in the middle of summer.. the cheap fan is not working. its still too hot. its smells and there’s still a hair and old pervious stains in the beddings and tub.
Location was great! Staff were so friendly! Mini Golf was a nice addition.
Well I had to cancel 2 of 3 nights over the booking website but when I received the email verification code it wouldn’t work. I had to call the motel directly to get this accomplished. Staff were great and happily canceled the 2 nights but when I checked in for the one night the cancelled nights didn’t show up. Very frustrating. They didn’t charge me for them which was very appreciated!!
La vista sul lago
La stanza impregnata dall’odore di sigaretta.

The facilities were dated, which I expected, but the bed was very comfortable, and the bedding looked new. What was unexpected but exceptional was the view out of my unit, which looked directly out onto Scout Island. The setting was so peaceful, I would stay there again, probably ask for the same room. I also was pleasantly surprised to find a water kettle in the roombecause I am a tea drinker and heating water in a coffee machine is not an option for making tea.
My only disappointment was the lack of a hairdryer, but I will bring one with me next time. I’m thinking of staying there again. There was not any air conditioning either, but was not an issue during my stay.
Convenient, close, close to the highway, close to restaurants, reminded me of motels I stayed in for six dollars a night in the 1950s. Modernized bathroom.
No AC, but actually not a problem; the fans were fine.
Locatie,personeel
Was zeer verouderd,badkamer was schoon. Maar de rest twijfelachtig….
The view of the lake and the well kept grounds
Have stayed there before and knew what to expect. Clean and large room although somewhat dated. Had fun playing the free putt putt course, although its needs some maintenance. Staff friendly and good location
room and bathroom could use some hooks for hanging things
Beautiful view, fun mini golf, wonderfully friendly staff, budget friendly.
Nothing, excellent quality for my budget friendly travel experience.
It was excellent The barbecues made for a nice steak dinner. And it was an excellent place to stay. It would definitely have to come back.
Location, was perfect Mini kitchen, esp freezer was appreciated
Bed was uncomfortable,
I forgot my phone charger in the room. I called the hotel and told them I’d be back to grab it. When I got back he had it on the counter waiting for me. I don’t remember his name but I believe he’s Filipino
The mini golf was fantastic 👌
No air conditioning i was too hot
The location. The staff were lovely. It was quiet with a nice view of the lake and close to amenities.
It was in tired, in need of some updating and fresh paint. The smell of cigarette smoke inside our room and the constant smokers on adjacent balconies .
Great view of the lake
It was run down, quits old and worn, carpet old and dirty, repairs needed on walls. There was a lingering of smoke (Tabacco) smoke.
Everything
They need to fix their satellite
minigolf für gäste frei, super
Great room with a view. Loved the mini golf too! The front desk also loaned us a cork screw for our wine :)
Easy access and check in, comfortable bed and linens
Outdoor noise, dated windows and bathroom. Would have liked to secure patio door slightly open for ventilation.
Quiet and awesome view
The view.
The place is a little run down.
once I let the property know we would be arriving late ( we'll past their office hours) they made it super easy to get into our room and into a comfortable bed. Also full size coffee maker in our room, very nice 👌 👍 😀
Well located for a visit to the Williams Lake Stampede. On the main road into Williams Lake so it was easy to find and there was lots of parking. Beds were very comfortable
Lake view is lovely. Free mini golf was fun but the course was rundown, as is the rest of the property.
There’s no way to block the light from the parking lot. The front door has three windows but no blinds - the light shines through to the second bed all night long. I hung a towel up as best I could. Photo was taken at 11:50pm
Die Lage mit Balkon und Seeblick, nur knapp 2km von Willams Lake entfernt, war hervorragend. Das Zimmer hatte einen Gasgrill vor dem Eingang stehen, als Motelgast konnte man die Minigolfanlage kostenlos benutzen.
Die Öffnungszeiten der Rezeption waren etwas kurz (9 - 18 Uhr); dies ist aber nur dann ein Problem wenn ein Bedarfsfall unerwartet eintritt
Clean quiet and well priced especially for Stampede Week
It was all good
Room was spacious and clean, beds very comfortable, staff very accomidation. Great view of the lake.
All it needs is an air conditoner in the room. they had a big fan and that did the job when the room was warm at night time. otherwise our stay was great.
Smoke alarm was on counter not on ceiling in
The shower was great!
I got in late, and my room faced a busy highway that got loud at 5:30 am.
The bed was very comfortable.
smelling marajuana smoke outside my door. Unkempt patio area outside my door. Tub water did not work. TV remotes did not work. Water from bathroom basin had a nasty odor when first turned on.
Nice location. Value for money
Location overlooking the lake
This motel is very old and worn and hasn't been painted, updated or it seems maintained in years. Sure the linens were clean and the place clean. But is so grimy and worn that its hard to tell. Depressing vibe, I wouldn't recommend it.
Excelente aquecedor e quarto, confortável.
O fato de ser beira de estrada é ruim pois tem algum barulho a noite
At 38 degrees the fact that there is no Air Conditioning made it very uncomfortable.
The view is the room was on the lake
I loved it all
Needs to be up-dated but is very nice.
It needs to have a face lift.
No breakfast, but good coffee maker. Good location and quiet from road traffic, but lots of workers and noisy trucks from inside the motel traffic.
Place was old and not kept up
Quiet and clean
A little big old and rustic
good location, homey atmosphere, grassy area and a view of the lake. very friendly staff. clean.
a bit worn, but charming. The lighting was a bit dim, not a problem in summer but could be in darker months.
Everything was good, nothing to complain about
Not enough heat in the bathroom.
I picked Lakeside Motel because it was the most affordable place to stay in Williams Lake… an old school motel, probably built in the 50s. But the welcome and check-in, The, actual facilities, the cleanliness and the comfort, were top notch! Even the TV was user-friendly usually have to call staff to help me operate a hotel TV, but this one was great and easy to use. I drive-through Williams Lake six or seven times a year, and I will for sure stay here each time in future.
Nothing
Location is good
All the rooms could use a better heating in the winter
Everything
Not enough heat 🔥 in the room
Close to town centre
Fascility is old
View
Needs upgrades
Great views and super friendly staff.
The noise transference from the units below us.
Clean
The people at the front desk
Pet friendly and tidy rooms central to the town and services.
Downstairs back rooms are ground level, but actually a flight of stairs, so a bit inconvenient if notvexpecting stairs.
Location, beautiful view, nice clean grounds, pet friendly
Needs new mattress
The view
No hairdryer in the room and the coffee didn't work
I especially loved the old-fashioned feeling of the place, hot water heat, a real door key, the well-equipped kitchen and an Analog phone sitting on top of a Phone book! Priceless for the digitally disenfranchised in today's world :)
Access to the highway a little treacherous for the uninitiated.
Convenient to town quiet clean, likes the little mini golf course

Picturesque old style motel with parking at your door. Close to Museum of Cariboo-Chilcotin. Manager was friendly and helpful, remembered me from previous visit.
Rooms were a bit shabby, could do with refurbishment.
Everything
Nothing
Run down motel in need of renovation. Beautiful location, our room had a Lake view. Nice park near by to take a walk.
Located right off the highway—easy to find and very convenient.
The sign is easy to spot, but I still missed it—maybe I was driving too fast.
Clean room, nice staff, open parking and mini golf included :) for $7
The toilet paper really sucked. Way too thin. The bathroom adjacent to ours the bathroom was loud. The outside light lit our room all night which interrupted our sleep.
It was clean and quiet
It was very run down
We had a room with a view of the lake. Friendly guests, friendly staff, it wasn’t our first time staying at lakeside and it won’t be our last, we will stay there again.
Very nice staff; willing to provide help.
The room is old. Window and Door really need to repair. Lots Spider-Web ...
The rustic feel, the Lakeview, and the clean, decent furniture and soft blankets were amazing. Great and friendly staff. We loved our stay. The rooms have more amenities than usual, which was nice! Would stay again.
(THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE MOTEL. Its just a heads up for people staying.) Beware Google GPS. It'll send you across the street. To someone's house. Just turn around and look toward the lake, you'll see the motel! It even sent our Uber Eats driver there.
Great place to stay!
Only stayed for the night during a longer journey down south but overall was a nice comfortable and clean place, would definitely stay again.
Been staying here for the last 8 years during our road trip to the north. It’s a convenient location, usually well priced, has a patio and is pet friendly. However interior and maintenance continues to worsen, needs for repair - and now the price has gone up! Next trip might consider paying another 15 dollars and stay somewhere with a little more amenities and comfortable interior.
Check-in staff was great. Would stay again.
An old motel which could use some updates
It was clean and staff were nice
I didnt like anything . It was the dirtiest motel I've ever stayed in.
It was disgusting
Basic older motel, my go to hotel in Williams lake Friendly staff and always feel welcomed here
Good value for money considering it was a stop off point en route elsewhere. Bed was comfortable, bath and shower good. Quiet, ideal for its purpose.
Although bed and bathroom were fine, the room could do with a thorough clean. Decor is decidedly tired.
No breakfast available.
Often couldn't use the balcony as immediate neighbor smoked frequently and smoke came right to our. Sign was not easily seen from highway for northbound traffic.
If there had been another available room in town we would have left as soon as we saw the room.
Condition of the room was only fair. There was a nasty odor in the room.
