Top Leland Hotel Reviews

Empire Lakeshore Inn

Empire Lakeshore Inn

10/10 Excellent
"The place is well maintained and looks recently renovated. There is plenty of parking available and check in/out is super easy. The only complaint I have is that the walls are thin and you can hear your neighbors pretty clearly. I was next to someone who was talking on their phone all night and I was having trouble falling asleep because of that. The room does include a white noise machine which did help a bit."
