this property is uniquely nestled into a strip mall. It is extremely outdated and ‘resort facilities’ are either closed or very basic. The pools might remind one of a fancy motel six - very depressing. The pictures on the brochure are very misleading. I was extremely disappointed and would not recommend. The use of the term ‘resort’ in not appropriate.

Loved it!
Beautiful hotel! I didn't realize there was lake in San Marcos but we really enjoyed our view/stay. We came down from NorCal for the CSUSM orientation and ate at the local restaurant which was DELISH. Would absolutely stay here again!

The resort grounds and staff are terrific. Food's great. Patio view and seats are pleasant. My room smelled a bit like urine (my Mom's room smelled a bit musty). I could hear normal conversation in the next room.

Great Hotel
Hotel was clean and comfortable; we loved the fire pits at night. The view was beautiful, and my kids loved the kayaks. The area is nice with lots to do, very close to Legoland and not a bad drive to the San Diego Zoo. We would definitely stay again.

The Lakehouse was recommended to us by a friend so we decided to do a quick weekend getaway. This was such a great quiet, tranquil resort. Although its right in the heart of San Marcos, you feel like its far away. Check in was quick and welcoming. Our room faced the lake and pool. I would highly recommend the 2nd floor because of the high, vaulted ceiling. The room was huge compared to other resorts. The kids loved making smores by thr fire. Although it was off season, Audrey, the pool bartender was serving and took care of our drinks and food during the day. Having coffee by the lake was such a nice experience. We will definitely return when the weather warms up again.
