My husband and I attended the 28th annual Food and Wine Festival held at the Lakeview Golf Resort and Spa from January 20-22, 2012 and had a wonderful time! First of all, let me comment on the facilities. Despite the average and below average reviews on Trip Advisor, my husband and I were pleasantly surprised with the resort itself. Yes, it is an older place but it has been renovated and is very nicely appointed. The common areas are very nice, colorful and modern. The Fushion restaurant is upscale and serves delicious food. We had a Trip Across America Buffet the first night and everything was delicious and we had drinks in the Legends bar and it is very modern also. The banquet and meeting rooms are nicely decorated and accommodating. We did not use the pool, spa or fitness facilities so I cannot comment on these. As for the room we got, it was a H/C king sized room on the second floor of the main building. It was very spacious, had newer furniture, wallpaper and carpeting and was very clean. Yes, the bedspreads could be newer and they could upgrade the tvs and clock radios but we found the room to be fine.

As for the Food and Wine Festival, it was a wonderful event! This was our first time there and we will definitely go back. Kuddos to the Food and Beverage Manager, Mr. Murphy, and the various other managers, chefs, staff, visiting chefs and vendors. Friday night there was a manager's reception with delicious appetizers, beer, wine, soft drinks, followed by the first cooking demonstration. Saturday included a breakfast buffet followed by various cooking demonstrations, wine tastings, beer tastings and a vendor market. They had an Iron Chef competition that was both educational and entertaining. The evening was capped by a cocktail and appetizer reception followed by an exquisite dinner. Everything the chefs cooked and demonstrated on Friday and Saturday was set up in stations around the elegant Reflections Ballroom that overlooks Cheat Lake. The managers, chefs and staff were so attentive to everyone and the food was some of the best we have ever eaten. The evening ended with a drawing for prizes but we were not lucky winners. On Sunday, the event ended with a great chef's brunch. We talked to many people who attend this weekend every year and we can understand why. If you are interested in learning new recipes, cooking techniques, eating delicious food and just relaxing and enjoying yourself for a weekend, the Lakeview Golf Resort and Spa's Food and Wine Festival is worth going to!

My husband and I went to Lakeview Resort and Spa for the New Years Eve Package. We booked just for the one night. The front desk staff were all very nice. Our room, being that we booked late, we got 2 dbl beds. They were comfy. Also, got a refrig. for $10 and the delivered it immediatley. Room was very typical. It was clean and had a great shower! We also had an in room safe, full iron and ironing board, alarm clock, soap, shampoo, conditioner, lotion full size hair dryer and make up remover wipes. They had a large, clean and warm indoor pool that went to 8 or 9 Ft and an older model hot tub that could accodimate prob 4-5 ppl. also indoor. They also have towels in the pool area so you don't have to bring towels from your room.
We had dinner (buffet) and breakfast (buffet) in their resturant (Fusion) both meals were excellent with a large variety of foods to choose from. Wait staff in the resturant were very nice too!
This resort wasn't 5 star. It's a very average hotel. More-so a hotel than I'd say a resort. It's a older property and is a bit worn and tired.
However, it was a nice time.

paid $60 on priceline for 3.5 stars,it's no better than any aging best western.located in a remote area,it's deceiving to call it a morgantown hotel.probably much lilier in the summer during golf season,not much doing in dec.

We have beent to Lakeview several times. The location is great and the surroundings are beautiful. Very close to WVU and the center of town but still feels like you are secluded. Golf course is beautiful. Staff is very friendly and helpful. The hotel itself is dated but clean.
