Beautiful property; great location; No sleep!
This hotel is super historic which means the buildings are old. It is sooooo loud in the hallways and through the walls and ceiling. That made it not so enjoyable. No sleep at all.

A nice weekend, BUT...
My wife and I have visited Mt. Dora many times, but we had never stayed at the Lakeside Inn until this weekend. I figured it was worth it to at least try it out once. First, the positives --the location is beautiful, the grounds are well kept, and the view is OUTSTANDING. The front desk staff were lively and helpful, even on Thanksgiving, when I know no one really wants to be working. Our room was a decent size, clean, and the closet was much larger than most. Nice chairs and table, and the refrigerator we requested was ready to go. (we always have leftovers :-) ) I did like being able to park at the Inn and then walk everywhere, especially when there was a lot going on. BUT... Getting the luggage and bags in and out of the room is frankly a nightmare. No luggage racks, a more than decent walk from where you park, especially when we checked in, (the area where you could park to get closer to the rooms was blocked off when we checked in) and no elevators. I am not in the best of shape admittedly, and dragging the suitcases up the stairs to the Gables 2nd floor was rough. Unfortunately, we tend to bring a bunch of stuff, and always buy more when in Mt. Dora, so it was challenging when checking out as well. The bed was OK, but a bit hard, and it creaked when getting in and out. I can tell you there were signs for Quiet Hours, but I don't think there was much security going down the halls at night to enforce. Refrigerators you have to ask for, and microwaves I do not

Reminds me of a stay at Grandma’s house.
Hotel is definitely old. Makes you feel like you are staying over at Grandma’s for the holiday. Lots of stairs but definitely worth the proximity to downtown and atmosphere. The second room off our room creeped me out a bit but would be great for traveling with kids.

Some TLC
Very old hotel which we love. No sheets for pull out bed, and spiders in the closet. Needs some TLC. Property and location are perfect.

Lovely Historic Hotel
Beautiful setting, tropical landscaping, historic hotel and cottage on Lake Dora, walking distance to downtown shops and restaurants.

Great location, just okay rooms
You are definitely paying for the amazing location and the historical charm. It is within walking distance of downtown Mount Dora and on the lake which is great. The rooms definitely show wear, the bathrooms require multiple flushes. Some of the quirks are charming such as using an actual key to get in the doors and the old time bathrooms. But mostly just seems like benign neglect to the room. Especially for the price you are paying. Would be more comfortable and have more amenities and cheaper at a Fairfield inn, would just not be as conveniently located.

Wonderful location
Beautiful property, very historic and beautiful from the outside. I think the inside needs work to be more comfortable and still keep its charm. Room was musty, air was loud, absolutely no counter space in the bathroom and the bedding needed upgrading. It’s the second time we have stayed…can’t beat the location and views!

A Must Stay for Central FL
Lakeside Inn location is just the best for historic downtown Mount Dora visit. Yes its an old inn, but the charm can't be beat. We will say, thankfully, the king room we stayed in had a much more comfortable bed than the numerous others we have experienced, so that was a plus for these old bones. The dock has been rebuilt! Yeah! And we noticed the pool side bar was back in action, though our short stay this time did not allow us to try it out. Grounds continue to be beautifully maintained and the large porch provided a wonderful view.
