The staff was very nice. Provided $5 vouchers for the nearby beach that otherwise is $30 pp. Great location! Right in Heavenly Village. Walking to restaurants, shops, cute places to sit outside, near beach and great views in walking distance. Coffee, OJ, instant oatmeal and bagels for breakfast.

Nice motel
This is a nice motel style (meaning outside entrance) hotel room that offered everything needed for a night stay. The room was clean and comfortable and the price was right. Would stay again if in the area.

Blue Lake August 23rd 2024
We went for the Jon Pardi concert and it was very cold for August but it was good the room is comfortable and a little walk to Harveys for the concert.This is my third time staying at the Blue Lake Inn it has always been nice. my go to place to stay when im going to a concert. Walking back someone was on the phone telling the person they were talking to that they needed to stay to the right because of a bear sighting. We made it back safely to our room.

Would definitely stay again!!
Love the shower pumps, lovely shower gel / shampoo / conditioner, bring your own lotion. Wish we had reserved 2 queen instead of 1 king. Loved the extra blankets!! Pillows are a bit flat, sinks were a bit high but nice double sink!! Nice microwave and refrigerator!! Nice parking and walking distance to lots of restaurants. Free wifi and absolutely loved they had oatmeal and apple at breakfast!! My boyfriend also enjoyed the bagels with cream cheese and fancy bagel toaster. And not just plain but also cinnamon raisin. Also since we left before the 8am breakfast start time on our checkout day, we were able to take oatmeal packets for our checkout AM breakfast!! Very nice room service replaced all towels!! Friendly front desk greeting for check in and just drop keys at slot outside office for checkout. Did not use the lakeside advantage, ended up doing early AM at Baldwin beach at 9am to beat the crowd (2nd Sunday in August.... gets overly crowded in PM!!!!)

This Inn is perfect for coming home after being out all day and going to bed to wake up and leave again. Ask for extra blankets and pillows. Comforter was torn and hand sewed real quick like. If this is the worse than know It was moreless a great stay for us.

when I booked It was mentioned that they provide continental breakfast but there was no continental breakfast. It was regular bagel and butter/cheese. They should not mention about continental breakfast. They should mention bagel and coffee/tea.
