I was taken aback by how rude the owner was when we arrived. I completely understand that they want to keep it allergy free, but you can be polite when explaining this. She asked if I was a smoker. I answered, "Yes", she then told me that we could not stay there even if we smoked off property. It was... More

Clean motel, if you smoke you can't stay here, which for us is a plus since we don't smoke! Like all motels in Colorado, this one too is overpriced. We paid $111.00 (includes tax) for one night in August for the two of us. Family owned, well maintained. Lodging in Buena Vista is expensive. More

Owners Steve and Patty keep this smaller motel in perfect condition. The rooms are as nice as our own home and the location is a half block off the main highway so it is quiet and peaceful. No breakfast but plenty of coffee in the office. The price is much less than the Super 8 or the Best Western but... More

We moved to the Lakeside Motel after spending one night in a motel that was rated higher. The aesthetic value alone at the Lakeside was worth the extra 40. bucks. Convenient to all in BV. CLEAN, spacious and the "bigoted" couple were delightful and attentive to my needs. Very comfortable stay. We ended up coming back to the Lakeside after... More

We checked in late one afternoon because it seemed clean and close to town. When checking in we saw that there was a no-smoking policy. Posted on their door it said Welcome, clean, smoke free environment. Our "hostess" asked us if anyone smoked and we replied no. I do smoke but we assumed the question was meant as will you... More

We love Buena Vista and try to come up every year or so. Since we discovered Lakeside Motel and it's owners Patty and Steve, we have been staying there over the last 10 years. Clean, clean, tasteful rooms with the most comfortable beds and ample plump piilows. The room we usually stay in has a refrigerator and microwave. We just... More

This motel was recommended by the owners of the Thunder Lodge and we were sure glad we took their advice. The place is seriously one of the cleanest places I've ever stayed and I travel a lot. It's not a fancy motel, but nicely appointed, everything works, the beds are comfortable, with nice sheets, blankets, and pillows. You're not going... More

This motel is a great homebase in Buena Vista. The yard is charming and welcoming with its flower baskets and green, green grass. It is centrally located in town, which is great logistically, but it is a bit noisy. You won't go wrong staying here. More

This motel does not allow smoking or pets anywhere on their property. For those of us who are offended by the smell, it is great. The rooms are large enough, and VERY VERY clean. There was a table and a couple of chairs, an easy chair, king size bed and dresser in the sleeping area. A sink with firdge and... More
