Lakeside Hotel Casino

It's nothing short of exactly what one would expect for the Osceola lakeside casino and resort. The rooms are alright, beds actually decent. The smell of smoke in the rooms isn't so overwhelming you can't sleep.

The dining experience was mediocre - had the dinner buffet followed by the brunch buffet. Took them 30 minutes to sit out group for dinner, when we could see wide open tables everywhere. The standout food wise was the biscuits and gravy, that was good.

The casino was again, so mediocre, there's just no better word for it. 2 blackjack tables and 3 poker tables, an incredible rude and unpleasant pit boss taking names for those tables, and a HALF of a craps table (literally, half of it).

The dealers were actually the highlight of the whole place. Good folks who like to talk gambling and life. I understand why they only had a few tables open, hard to get competent dealers in Osceola, and lots of the dealers stated they work twelve hours shifts almost everyday just to keep it running.

If you like slots you'll have no problem finding a chair to sit in and pack of cowboy killers.

The room, executive King size, non- smoking, was spacious and clean but the walls were thin so we were hearing even normal voiced conversations over the night. There was not a coffee maker in the room so getting a cup of coffee meant walking to the lobby (quite a distance when occupying the last room in the corridor) to wait in line with several other guests.
Desk staff were fine but only one computer was working for the 4:00 check-in time.
