Clean, friendly. Could be efit from couple tweaks
If all you want is a clean bed and all you plan to do in your room is sleep, this facility will do the job. The staff is friendly, check in and check out are simple and painless, rooms are clean.
Although the room was spacious, there was no comfy chair or nook to sit in and read to relax before going to bed. There was a desk and one office chair, which is clearly not enough seating for two people.
Website mentioned a breakfast. When we checked in, we found that was no longer true. All it would take is a simple change to their website so expectations more closely match what's on offer.

Older motel. Decor was very out dated. Beds were comfortable. Room was clean.
Great experience, check in was fast. Our room was nice and spacious and clean! We could not hear others next to us and the inn seemed full. Many fast food options within a 2 minutes walk from the inn. The whole experience was great especially considering the cost of the room which was definitely lower than average.
Gentleman at the desk was polite and efdicient. Room was as expected, ckean and simple. I slept well

This hotel was conveniently located about halfway between our home in West Michigan and St.Paul/Minneapolis. We found Gladstone to be a pleasant little town to explore and caught the sunset down by the lighthouse pier. Good choice of restaurants, too.
The hotel itself was fine. We slept well. The bathroom was clean.
Don't however count on the coffee provided in room. Very bitter and the packet of creamer broke in hard pieces when opened. Thank goodness for the McDonalds practically next door.
Also someone needs to do a little window washing. The front side door was completely smudged and dirty. Poor first impression. Also there was a good sized hole in the window screen in the room that should be fixed. All in all though, the stay was good for the price.
The establishment itself was well maintained. Location was great too for what we needed, excrete that its close to the rail line and train horns woke us up twice in the night
I like everything about Lakeside Motor Inn. The staff are friendly and helpful. Rooms are clean and neat. I always stay here if a room is available when I am going through the Gladstone/Escanaba area.

Rooms were very clean.
Tub was very dangerous. It was extremely slippery. The shower curtain was 3 feet too long. The tub wall was 3 feet deep. So To step in or out was dangerous. There are not any grab bars. Toilet paper seemed to be rationed so I bought my own to supplement.
But for the money, it was sufficient. The other person staying with me went to a friends house to shower since she could not safely step in or out of the tub.
The bed was very high off the floor. The bed covers was very warm like polar-tex blanket . Most hotels have thin bed cover and sheet covering them. The bed must of had plastic cover. We were both hot all night.
