The Lakeside Inn - Wakefield

We had a reservation for brunch at 11:30, but when we arrived, there was only one other table occupied. It was clear that the buffet hadn't been restocked in quite some time, and the eggs Benedict were completely dried out. I ended up just having toast with hummus, while my friend opted for cereal. It's such a shame because the location is fantastic!

It's such a shame because this place is usually fantastic!

It’s quite nice! Although the location might seem a bit unusual at first, the rooms are really charming. I think it’s just an old building, but it’s well-maintained—clean, no unpleasant odors, and no bugs (unlike some other places I've stayed). If you manage to get a room with a water view, you might hear a few ducks quacking in the morning. Overall, for the price, it’s a pretty great place to stay!

The entire staff at this restaurant is outstanding, especially Tamera in the evening; she's truly wonderful. The location is excellent, and you can tell the team genuinely cares about the establishment. However, I must mention Karen—she is by far the most unpleasant person I've encountered. I believe she would be better suited for a different role, as her attitude towards customers, particularly those with disabilities, is quite poor. She comes across as rude, and there are hints of potential bias in her behavior. If it weren't for her, this experience would easily warrant a five-star rating. To future visitors, be cautious of Karen—she's not pleasant to deal with.

We spoke with John and informed him that we had a service dog. He insisted that we needed a certificate. I showed him the ADA website, explaining that there are no certificates required for service animals and that what he was doing was against the law. He wasn't allowed to refuse us service, but he did so anyway. I will be notifying the ADA, and you may be facing a fine as a result. Enjoy that!
