Room smelled stale, but good enough stay for a business trip.

We booked a room with this hotel on the recommendation of a friend who had stayed there 7 years ago. Apparently the hotel has declined terribly since then because the room was awful! The room stank of cigarette smoke, the mattresses were visibly sagged, and the carpets and chairs were stained. The light switch plates had obviously not been cleaned in ages as they were horribly grimy. The towels, though laundered, had obvious stains on them....and on it goes. The whole room had a very run down feel to it: chipped paint, old stained fridge and bathroom fixtures etc. We had to 'negotiate' for over half an hour with the desk clerk to get our money back so we could go find a better hotel to stay in.

I absolutely could not recommend that anyone stay here at any price point.

I went to Lake City approximately 6 years ago and though it was on the older side it was clean and reasonably priced. Last weekend myself and 2 friends decided to take a little road trip so we booked a room at $99. I was embarrassed to have suggested the place. Though the exterior is very clean and well kept, the room was horrible! The very, very dirty light switch was my first clue as to the cleanliness standards. There were stains on the carpet, chairs, and towels. The room smelled like the most foul stale ashtray. We decided to ask for a refund and leave. After much negotiating and time wasting we were finally able to get our money back, but not before the clerk told us he was scared he would lose his job over it. It use to be such a nice place but I will never go back.

I booked Lake city Inn and suites during our recent travel to Vancouver. We drove from Seattle and reached there with my Family. It was around 10:00 PM and it was raining. My children were tired from the long journey. The guy at the front desk showed us the room. When we got in the room, the tiolet was clogged and I reported that to the front desk.

They Guy at the front desk came with a plunger and he was trying to unclog the toilet. After some time, he said that he cannot do it any more as it was clogging again and again. He told us to keep the plunger to unclog the toilet each time after we use it and he left.

I told him that my family is tired and I need another room. The guy's response was "I do not have another room, if you want to go to another hotel that is fine with me". I was stunned to see the rudeness and inhumane nature. I told him that I have small children and I cannot go looking for other hotels in an unfamilier place at night 10:30 PM.

Finally after some time the guy connected me to another hotel and fortunately they had rooms available. We finally checked in to Accent Inns, about 2 miles away from the place around 12:00 AM. Accent Inn was a bit more expensive, but was far far better than Lake city. My advise to families "Stay Far Away" from this place. It is not worth it.
