Clean but old. Needs updating but looks like it’s for sale. Hope new owners put the work into it.

We stayed for two nights, 2 adults and 2 teenagers. It was a bit cramped but clean. Walking distance to the boardwalk. Shared front porch with the other vacationers. Beds were old but it was what we expected for the Lake District. There is access to a small private beach at the end of the street.

edioe but not the worst
The people that ran it and cleaned it were really nice people. I however didn’t use the closet because it was deep to the left when the door opened and it had cobwebs in it. The daybed/trundle in the living room was duck taped on the left corner, and the bed was very uncomfortable and lumpy. The place was clean and it was very clear that they are in the process of making improvements in the bedroom area with the primer visible. The kitchen/ living room area is beautiful. The bathroom is clean. I would go back provided the improvements were finished as the location can’t be better. I wouldn’t go back before the improvements were finished. Oh and it advertises shared gas grills that don’t exist.

Comfortable apts, friendly staff, great location!
This was our 4th stay at Lakeside and it definitely won't be our last! We absolutely love it there! The guy at check-in is always super nice and friendly, and he even offered us coupons to use at local restaurants during our stay. The apartments are always clean and provide everything we need for a comfortable week away at the beach. The location is absolutely perfect with the beach, boardwalk and so many other fun things to do, all within walking distance. We always have so much fun during our annual week-long stay at Weirs Beach, and Lakeside Get-away will always be our favorite place to stay! Already looking forward to next year's stay!

Hotels.com did not inform me that Check-in takes place at a different hotel!!! I was in the area for a concert and running late, so I was very unhappy with this and the fact that I had to park down the block and on the street. There is no parking lot and I couldn't see my vehicle from the motel. I was impressed with the size of the apartment for the price I paid. It really does have 2 bedrooms, each with a full closet and dresser. A full kitchen, including sink, stove, refrigerator, microwave and coffee maker. It was extremely close to Weirs Beach boardwalk and walking distance to many fun attractions. Of course no stay can be perfect and there were a few thing left to be desired. The mattresses were terrible and I was up several times throughout the night with back pain. Also, the ceiling in the living room looked like it was ready to fall down. All that said and done, it was a good rental for the price. The closeness of all the tourist attractions when still feeling private in your apartment make up for the negatives. In the end, I would rent a unit at Lakeside Get A Way again.

The Good- It is about 100 yards from the lake which is at the bottom of the road. It is very close to the Weirs beach amusement/entertainment area, the ferry boat and the beach. The Bad- Our room (#1) is pretty run down. The couch in the living room should be replaced, if not the chair. The window air conditioners in the bedrooms are noisy/clacking. Old toilet seat should be replaced

Thank you for taking the time to review our property. It is unfortunate that the studio couch in the living room did not meet your expectations. We will look into ways to better the unit to help with our future guests stay. Thank you for your feedback and we hope to see you again in the future

It is unfortunate that you did not enjoy the property. We do our best to represent the property online with pictures of each unit & property so that guests understand that this is an older apartment style building. Over the years, 4 out of 7 units have been renovated with new kitchens and wood floors. We will look into more ways to better the units & curb appeal of this property. Thank you for your feedback and we hope that you will give us another chance in the near future.

Very old, property is for sale. Though, Brandon was accommodating, the apartment was not cleaned even though we’re checked in. We just got a refund and found a better place.

Thank you for the kind words. It is unfortunate that the accommodations did not meet your expectations. We try hard to make sure that the property is well represented online with picture of the units and the property to show the guests that this is an older apartment style building. We will look into ways of making this property more appealing to guests. We do apologize that the unit was not cleaned in time for check-in we are working on staffing more employees so that this does not happen again in the future. Thank you again for your feedback.

To Whom it may concern, We do apologize that you did not enjoy your stay. We do our best to present the property as it is. It is an older apartment style building with the luxury of being walking distance to all of the Weirs beach attractions. Weirs beach is a very safe area that is commonly patrolled by multiple Laconia police officers due to the amount of activity Weirs Beach brings during the summer months. We do own and operate several properties in the area that might better suit your next stay. We hope you will give us another chance in the future.

The carpet was so dirty to let kids stand or play. Toilet was clogged after one person used it. It gave us really hard time.

This was a wonderful place for my family and I to stay for a week up at the lake. The staff was nice and friendly, and the location was excellent. There is so much to do all within walking distance. And the apartment was well stocked. Plenty of dishes, utensils, cookware, towels, extra bedding, and everything we needed to help make our stay comfortable. We had a great time and would definitely stay here again.

While the proximity to the lake and boardwalk was perfect, the cleanliness of the room when we walked in was not acceptable. There was a 2 hour longer wait for us to check in from what we were told due to the cleaning crew not having prepared it yet. When we arrived, we found trash still out on the back deck, loose hair was found in the shower, the towels and in the beds. The chair cushions had a lot of crumbs which tells me it hasn’t be vacuumed in some time. The shower head appeared to have grime or mold. I just wanted to bring this to attention to make it better for future guests. Also I didn’t want to get blamed for leaving it in a manner that it already was when I got there.

By submitting this information Anonymously, we have no idea which room had the problem, nor which housekeeper to speak with in order to make sure that this doesn't happen again. We wish you had let us know when you were here so that we could have made it right at that time.

Not worth the cost!
There is no staff onsite, checkin is about two miles away. Very noisy! Just go elsewhere for a good overnight stay. Not a family friendly environment.

Avoid!! What a dump
We never even stayed. Looked at it to check in and would not stay there. It was nothing like the pictures online. It was dirty and scuzzy. Just plain awful. I am out over $300!! Had to book another room somewhere else. Will never book through Expedia again unless I get a refund for this dump!

The Lakeside Getaway is an older apartment style building next to Weirs Beach. It is accurately presented online. You never checked in, never saw the unit. You arrived at our office with 7 adults, for a room that accommodates a maximum of 4 people. We offered you to either upgrade to a larger unit or to book a 2nd room and sent you over to Lakeside to meet our housekeepers who were over there preparing the room. You left our office, telling us that you were going over there, but never did. You held up the room that you had reserved and kept us wondering throughout the afternoon for other possibilities never giving us the opportunity to try to satisfy you. It was you who chose to book elsewhere without checking out what we truly had to offer.

Check for Bugs and this place should be condemned!
The only way people will stay there if people have not seen the place, even from the outside. The place was disgusting and my wife spent the first 30 min checking for bugs in the beds and couches. The building is terribly uneven (every floor), walking through the room was tricky do to the floor moving. If you are above 5 ft 11in, don't stay here, ceilings are really short.

DISAPPOINTED WITH ACCOMODATIONS
HAD AN ISSUE WITH THE BED; NOT LEVEL, HEAD LOWER THAN FEET, HAD TO SLEEP BACKWARDS IN THE BED. BE.DDING AND TOWELS WERE OLD AND, AND NOT ACCEPTABLE. OUTSIDE OF BUILDING WAS VERY OLD AND NOT KEPT UP AT ALL; MAINTENANCE LACKING. I DO A LOT OF TRAVELING UP AND DOWN THE COAST AND THERE ARE MANY OLD PLACES, BUT THEY ARE KEPT UP AND THE BEDDING AND TOWELS ARE AT AN ACCEPTABLE LEVEL; THESE WERE NOT, AND THIS PLACE WAS NOT!!!
