Western Riviera Lakeside Lodging

This place is all about location. Lakeside rooms, all facing out, with lots of tables/chairs on the porch in front. Friendly guests (some appeared to be repeat visitors). Easy walk to just about anything in town. On the other hand, the main room lighting was absolutely horrible. And in the room, there was only one very hard chair.

Views Great location. Amazing views!

Stayed at Western Riviera Lakeside Lodging recently and it was great. Perfect spot right on Grand Lake with awesome views. The cabins were really comfortable and had everything we needed. Staff was friendly and helpful, and it’s close enough to town to walk to restaurants or shops. Overall, it was a super relaxing stay—I’d definitely go back.

We had stayed there before, the first time the room downstair was very stuffy. This time we were staying upstair, the room is better and not stuffy.

Great place and affordable.

This place is advertised everywhere as a “hotel,” but in reality, it’s a run-down motel—and they even admit that on-site. Our nightmare started at check-in. We arrived at the listed 4 PM check-in time, only to find the front desk closed with a sign saying “out of office, on site.” We waited in our car until 4:40 PM, but no one showed up. Since we had plans, we left, hoping to check in later. We returned at 7:30 PM (just 30 minutes before the latest check-in time of 8 PM), and the front desk was already completely closed. Instead of a proper check-in, they left an envelope in an unlocked lockbox with our room key inside, meaning literally anyone could have taken it. Then came the room itself. The moment we walked in, we were greeted by a half-drunk tequila bottle on the floor—so clearly, no one even bothered to clean properly. The motel was incredibly old and run-down, and it only got worse from there. The noise levels were unbearable. All night, the heater banged, our neighbors’ TV blasted until midnight, and even after that, we could clearly hear loud snoring through the walls. To make matters worse, the fridge wasn’t even cold and made a high-pitched ringing noise all night. Just when we thought it couldn’t get worse, at 5 AM, we were woken up again by the thunderous footsteps of the upstairs guests. And despite all of this, they still had the nerve to charge $110 for one night. The motel falsely boasts a “lakeside view,” but (through no fault of theirs, but still worth noting for winter travelers) the lake was completely frozen and covered in snow, so that “view” didn’t exist. We got out of there as fast as possible the next morning. Do yourself a favor and stay anywhere else.
