My twin sister also purchased a room but her shower had black mold in the caulking. She had to come to my room to take a shower. She googled black mold and spores can be released from the caulking. The front desk said that the hotel was booked and could not move her to another room and had to wait for management to see if they could give her a discount.

Beds were pretty firm and our room was right around the corner from the lobby so noise was an issue unfortunately. Surrounding area is very cute and walkable.

I was shocked by gate fees and resort fees that were double the price of the room. I would not book in the Lakeside area again due to the hidden fees.

Although our room was clean it was very outdated. You must pay a fee to enter Lakeside - we paid $95, $40 for the two of us and $15 for our car to enter. Parking was a nightmare, the hotel only has a few parking spots and finding a place to park was exhausting. We had another reservation set for August which I have cancelled - booked an Airbnb instead which has ample parking, no Lakeside entry fees and updated living spaces.

Room had a strong mildew smell. When sharing my concern with the front desk, they admitted to having 3 other complaints with the same issue that day. It’s been an issue with first floor rooms. The manager said there’s nothing that can be done as the 1st floor rooms are half under ground. Toilet seat was about to fall off, super loose. Room was very outdated. Breakfast is not on site, they give you a voucher to bring to an off site restaurant, max $25 for the family. We ended up checking out as all other rooms were booked. Hotel apologized and refunded in full.

We felt tucked away in an idyllic haven. The Fountain Inn room was spacious, pristine, and comfortable. The location was a convenient walk to lake Erie and all of Chatauqua’s amenities. The staff was very friendly and helpful.
