Maingate Lakeside Resort

Don’t stay here My experience at this so-called “resort” was extremely disappointing. From the moment we checked in, it felt nothing like a resort and more like a budget motel. As soon as we arrived, there were people standing near the entrance trying to sell theme park tickets, which immediately set the wrong tone. During check-in, I even noticed three raccoons outside the glass doors. The front desk agent who assisted us lacked any sense of hospitality—no greeting, no smile—just asked for my name and gave me the room number. We were informed about additional hotel fees that supposedly cover transportation to the theme parks, but not all parks are included (for example, Epcot is excluded). The continental breakfast deserves its own warning label: do not eat it. Everything tasted sour, there was no cream cheese for the bagels, and the man restocking the food was using his bare hands—no gloves at all. That was a clear health code violation, and we stopped eating immediately after witnessing it. The room itself was just as bad. It had a strong musty odor, a partially collapsing ceiling, and visible stains on the bed. It honestly looked like housekeeping hadn’t touched it before our arrival. We ended up buying our own cleaning supplies just to feel somewhat comfortable. They do allow pets here, but that also explains why much of the furniture looks worn out or damaged—clearly not being properly maintained or replaced. Overall, this property should not be advertised as a “resort.” Between the lack of cleanliness, poor hospitality, and questionable food safety, this was one of the most disappointing stays I’ve ever had.

Dilapidated and gross. Felt unsafe. This place was a dump in every way. We were greeted by an army of feral cats being fed by the employees. The manager charged us a fee that was not disclosed by the booking agency and blamed the agency (who blamed him… but at least refunded me the room PLUS his fee.) The resort was a dump!! The photos from the hotel are extremely dated. The whole place is incredibly under lit at night. Felt super creepy and dangerous. Run down buildings, cracked stairs and pavement, caution tape marking off sections that are in disrepair. The room was the worst. Dirty, rusty and in disrepair. We left as soon as we could get a refund from the booking agency.

photos look great but maybe taken 15 years ago..... i don't look for much in a hotel. but even this was poor for my standards. breakfast is shocking, hard boiled eggs and toast. half the rooms are stripped bare and doors hanging off. no house keeping had to beg for towels when needed. i will say the pool was decent. dont let the photos on here fool you the place does not look as good as the photos..

Do not book Checked in and gave the keys right back. Refused to stay after seeing the parking lot was empty and a rodent of some sorts running across the lobby entrance. Booked through Adoga and fighting for booking fee to be refunded $120. Absolutely disgusting area and a reason why the parking lot is empty and gave us a feeling NOT TO STAY HERE!!!!
