Lakeshore Inn, Lake Oswego

We were in town for a quick overnight after attending a funeral service. The room was facing the parking lot, handicap modified, next to ice and pop machine AND the housekeeping closet. We were told that it was all that was available through Hotels.com and that we should book direct next time.

Great location overlooing the lake. Close to shops, and running and walking routes.My only complaint is the strongly scented sheets and towels. I would prefer that the hotel use unscented laundry detergent.

This was the second time we’ve stayed here. It’s not an exotic hotel but you can request a room with a fairly private balcony facing onto the small lake, which is very pretty and peaceful. There are resident blue herons and ducks on the lake edge. Lots of small stores within walking distance. Starbucks across the street. An ice cream shop that serves breakfast. Very clean and lots of water pressure and warm water in the shower!

Property is very dated and loud. Walls are thin and you can hear people talking and walking around above you. Rooms had a distinct smell that was undesirable. No special amenities (even plugs to plug in a phone were at a premium). We booked well in advance and had 2 rooms for 3 nights and yet were put in 2 of the few rooms that don't overlook the lake which is the one nice feature of the property. Cookies, breakfast items and coffee were a nice touch.

Overall we had a very nice stay at this hotel. The beds were soft and comfy. Having the small kitchenette with dishes was nice. The nice, deep bathtub was wonderful. The only thing that was a bit of a problem was parking. There are not a lot of spaces in the lot and they are rather narrow, plus there is only one entrance/exit, so if you get to the back of the lot with an SUV it is very hard to turn around if it is full.
