Lakeview Inns & Suites - Brandon

This was a very clean and comfortable hotel with a homey feel to it. Many guests were given gracious hospitality from very friendly staff and they rewarded the hotel with return visits.

Guests were made to feel at home with free soup or stew on offer each evening, as well as a well-liked free breakfast each morning.

The hotel afforded a good night's rest on comfortable beds, the staff worked hard at keeping the rooms very clean, and the hotel was handy to the the Trans-Canada without being noisy.

Guests also liked being near to good restaurants, nearby children's activities such as mini-golf and rock climbing, and having free DVD movie rentals with a surprisingly good selection. One guest was very pleased to have a BBQ area at the hotel, which he used for a team wind-up in the summer.

Besides being well managed, the hotel was also well priced, according to guests.

Guests also liked: a good cable selection and a bedroom door separating the bedroom from living room.

The hotel offers some smoking rooms and occasionally guests could smell smoke in their non-smoking rooms and requested a move to another room.

A few guests complained of inefficient air conditioning and rooms which were too warm.

Noise disturbed a few guests who mentioned an AC unit and guests in the hallway or rooms overhead as the source.

Other comments found: no meat at the free breakfast, linens smelled of bleach and no pool any longer on site.
