Top Scarborough Hotel Reviews

Lakeside Inn Illawarra

8/10 Good

"Lovely little room, bathroom was very modern, though the flyscreen on the window must of had holes as we had many bug visitors. Aircon was great and staff very friendly. It would of been nice to have a sink in the kitchenette and the rooms are not particularly sound proof as i could hear our 2 year old from a decent distance outside the room. "
