This place was recommended for so long by a friend , and finally we made it , we had a high expectation about it because the place looked so good , it all started with a phone call 3 days earlier before check in requested an early check in , it took a while for tue rude guy to pick up , and surprisingly he’s the only guy running the whole hotel , I mean it , check in , boat rental , janitor , valley , butler , bbq guy , …… wth , name it , so rude and note flexible , made a booking through Expedia they made a mistake and gave us wrong room , no help , no upgrade options , we come with family and kids and they actually he didn’t seems to care about my crying baby or my 8 months pregnant wife , zero zero hospitality, anyways we used Expedia for our booking and never again , already deleted Expedia. App never ,this place has potential but no TLC at all , what a waste

It's a little expensive and you have to rent the water toys even aftet you paid 400+ for a room. I feel like those should be included with the cost. Lovely room and the front desk lady that works weekends is the sweetest!

Images on website do not reflect reality. They have day use available and our room was next to the “port a potty”. The property is a bit worn down, the access to the lake is over grown and the beach area is small. The property has seen better days

False advertising. I paid $168/night and there was no pool and no beach. I was willing to pay the price because the photos and description called it a “Lodge”. This place was a roadside motel. We were next to the road so loud we couldn’t sleep. Although we paid for 2 nights we left in 18 hours. It showed a dining room that was not there. The beach access was sand about 3ft wide in the middle of reeds. Couldn’t even swim. I want a refund or at least a credit from expedia

Although the hotel is not fancy, the rooms are prepared nicely with coffee pots, microwaves, and refrigerators. They have AC. The beach area is rather disappointing; it's very minimal and can quickly be overcrowded. I wonder if some landscaping might provide more access to the lake.

Not for Me

I booked this from hotels.com using the reserved now pay later option. I reserved using my personal card but plan on using my business card when I checked in. When I checked in, I tried to put my business card down to pay and cover any incidentals but was told I couldn’t do that and they took payment from the card on file already. This is inconvenient because I have to wait days to get reimbursed. The room was clean but the mattress was hard as rock and whatever scent they use is over powering and made my eyes water the air conditioning unit was at bed level so it was blowing in my face or my back. My business meeting ended early I decided return home and asked if I could get refunded for the night I wasn’t going to stay but they said no which is fine just thought I’d ask. When I received my itemized receipt i noticed that room rate was different than the one I booked in Hotels.com. I asked the manager via phone since they were not on site why couldn’t changed the card on file when I checked in and she stated it was because they processed the payment 7 days in advance. I checked my bank statement and they did not charge me until I checked in on 7/27 and even my itemized receipt says charged on 7/27 so that reason was not true. I also inquired about the room rate difference and she told me I needed to take it up with hotels.com. This has been escalated with hotels.com but just a heads up if you book through a 3rd party you might be surprised at the end.

We have been going to LBL for almost 20 years now. This is the first year I’ve been disappointed in almost everything. It used to be that LBL was a resort and now it’s almost a glorified motel 6 on the water. First the price is the same as before- pricy but doable. We even added a night because we love to fish and they were on fire this week. The process of adding a night was easy from Expedia was fast, but I went to the office and asked if we could get a deal on another night. I was given a huge “Sigh”, and it will be $full price+tax. Plus the kitchenette rooms are not really set up for complete usage. The beds are the worst! Even our bathroom needed plunging on the first night. The office was closed and we had to wait till the next morning to get handed a crappy plunger. Also come to find out when it’s check out time you have to leave. You’re not able to stay the day without paying $$ for day use. WTH we stayed all week over $fifteen hundred and we couldn’t swim on checkout day. Btw during check in I stated I was paying cash and they had cards on file from previous visits that they tried running EVERY card on file for full price. SHADY!!! I’m so disappointed and deflated over our yearly family vacation that I will spend my hard earned money with another lodging on Blue Lakes for next year.
