Perfect stay
The Lift Bridge Lodge was fantastic. The room was great, the view was beautiful and we were greeted with ship coming into port after breakfast. The staff were personable and professional.

Lift Bridge
Location and view was awesome. The hotel parking lot and layout was good. The Breakfast was great. Suggest closing the breakfast area for the cleaning at 10am. Bathroom tub drain was very slow. Some cob webs in ceiling/wall corner. The pictures and details of the room I selected on Hotels indicated a fire place. Our room did not have a fire place. Hotel staff indicated that they are not responsible for 3rd party booking sites content. ???

Find another hotel!
We drove several hours to find that our room wasn’t ready even though several other people got a room. Desk person not very accommodating or helpful other than to say check back. Had to meet family and couldn’t freshen up. Checked twice room still not ready. Given text info about their cleaning policy but our room hadn’t been cleaned after 2 nights. Found out you had to request cleaning-that wasn’t mentioned. Breakfast potatoes for three days were soggy and old. Wouldn’t stay here again! High price for subpar hotel. Only plus was it’s close to the aerial lift bridge.

Pleasant experience, great views
We loved the location and our room had a wonderful view of the water. The room is comfortable, the public spaces were clean, the staff was friendly, and check in was quick and easy.
The breakfast left a little something to be desired, but they still had plenty of tasty options. Even though we were on the ground floor, we did not find any noise from the outside disturbing us.
Overall we really enjoyed our stay and we hope to stay there again in the future.

Always get the top floor if you want sleep
We've stayed here several times with zero problems until this time. Bed was hard & squeaky. We were on 2nd floor. People above us sounded like they were gonna come through our ceiling! They were loud from 3am on. I finally got up at 6am after laying in bed listening to the crap. We did let the front desk know. All they said was sorry.

Disappointed with our room location and room size
It was a much-needed time away from the numerous dr’s appointments that have been happening for us. I called in advance and asked location of handicap accessible room. I was told it would be city view room on 3rd or 4th floor. When we arrived we were disappointed. Our room was on first floor and our view was of the parking lot cars and a tree. Room was much smaller than depicted in the photos we saw before we made our reservation. So the words accessible suite seems a bit of an exaggeration. Also shortage of handicapped accessible parking spots close to the ramp which we needed to use to get in and out of the hotel (only 2 spots), on our last night there we had to walk a long ways from the available parking to access the ramp. So, it wasn’t the best place for us like we imagined. I guess we wouldn’t reserve there again especially due to the issues explained above.

Wonderful stay at Lake Bridge Lodge
We have stayed in Canal Park several time, but this was our first time at Lift Bridge Lodge. The stay was absolutely wonderful. With a georgous lake view and a room that was clean and comfortabe it easy to relax and enjoy the stay. The breakfast area was bigger then most and provided a great variety of items. There was always someone available to refill items, clean tables and take care of things.
