Lake Norman Hotel

What guests think

At Lake Norman Hotel, travelers highlight the scenic lakefront setting with marina access, an on-site restaurant and bar, and easy parking by room doors, alongside welcoming staff and a cozy, old-school motel feel.

Rooms are generally small but clean and recently updated, with many enjoying patios. Recurring downsides include road and neighbor noise due to thin walls, and occasional spillover from live music. Availability of the restaurant and water rentals can be limited on some days, and after-hours check-in has been inconsistent. Expect a simple, relaxed stay.

Great place on the lake with ample things to do on site. Restaurant a bar even kayak/boat rentals. Rooms itself ample and clean and looked updated. Only thing that would be negative is it’s an old style motel. Sound proof it’s not but was easily overlooked for price and the ocean sound machine lol.

What a great little find. A perfect spot right on the lake! We needed to get away from the brick hotel staring at an old rundown mall, so we found this little gem. The rooms look as if they have been recently remodeled! Keruig machine in room was a great touch. Basic TV but that's fine with us. We enjoyed hanging outside on the picnic bench or the chairs! Restaurant downstairs was convenient but just basic bar food. If you don't have a paddle board you can rent from here too(we had our own!). Def a nice little get away. Friendly people and even got to check in early! Publix is just down the way

I love that this property is on the lake and has a great restaurant with live entertainment on the weekends and water sport rentals. We rented a pontoon boat on a previous stay and had a lot of fun. It’s no frills but that is what we love about it. The rooms have all been updated since our last stay. Love the lake side deck and the staff is always amazing. We have made this our go to place while visiting family.

The rooms are small but just fine for 2 people. Ours was spotless. For what it is supposed to be it was great. This is not the Holiday Inn. It is right on the water with a restaurant and bar downstairs on the waterfront. BTW you check-in downstairs in the bar. Super nice people! The hamburger I had was fantastic. Thick hand-made with a charcoal grill taste. If I were in Mooresville I would go there just for the burger.

We stayed on the lake side and I loved walking out to see Lake Norman each day. Each room had it's own little picnic table outside of it on the deck. Rooms were redone at some point in the last few years and are updated and very clean. Staff was great. The only thing that can't really be helped is the walls are very thin. We had a minor noise issue one night which the staff handled well the next day. Not a place for late night party crowds. I would absolutely book again and plan to in the future.
