Online Reservations Now Available at Lakeside, Ohio
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Lakeside, Ohio – Although Lakeside is an historic Chautauqua community, it continues to strive to meet 21st century guest expectations. An online reservations system has been established for the Fountain Inn and Hotel Lakeside that will be available year-round.
Online reservations are accessible from the Lakeside home page (www.lakesideohio.com) through the new pictured widgets located at the bottom of the screen or by clicking the “Staying at Lakeside” tab.
From the Lakeside website guests can check availability and make a reservation on a live interface. Guests are also able to view pictures of individual rooms and a list of hotel and room amenities.
General Manager of the Fountain Inn and Hotel Lakeside, Steve Koenig, said the pictures were important to guests, especially since the Hotel Lakeside rooms are uniquely decorated with antique furnishings.
“It helps returning guests find rooms they’ve stayed in previously,” Koenig explained. “It also helps new guests find rooms they find attractive.”
Koenig said he expects more guests to book at the Hotel Lakeside and Fountain Inn as a result of the 24/7 service that online reservations provides.
Online reservations have not been officially announced until now, but Koenig mentioned there have been 40 reservations made online within the first two weeks of the website’s launch.
Group Sales Manager, Adam Gehman, stated that the online reservations have already increased staff efficiency.
Guests will still have the option to make a reservation in person or over the phone by calling (866) 952-5374, ext. 230.
The project was spearheaded by Koenig, Gehman, Director of Marketing, Alexandrea Kontos and Vice President of Operations, Wendy Eller. The team appreciates the efforts of Lakesider Riney Robertson, who spent countless hours taking pictures of the Hotel Lakeside and Fountain Inn rooms. Gehman said the housekeeping staff was also an invaluable asset for this project with the advanced preparation needed for the hotel rooms.
There will also be an online-only weekday promotion throughout the Chautauqua summer season, ending Thursday, Sept. 2. The promotion is for 10% off for hotel stays made Sunday-Thursday (excluding holidays). Continue to check the Lakeside website for ongoing promotions.
Known as the Chautauqua on Lake Erie, Lakeside is a family destination that has pioneered the act of nurturing mind, body and spirit since 1873.
