Outstanding location and a lovely property. However, the furnishings in the rooms (and the lobby for that matter) are severely outdated. Hallways also had a musty odor. No coffemaker or refrigerator in the room.

Beautiful Views, Great Location
The Lakeside Inn is a lovely old inn with beautiful lake views and a great place to stay because you can park and then walk around Mt. Dora to restaurants, shops, and entertainment. Because it's "old" it does need some renovation but the grounds are beautiful.

The hotel was very charming and relaxing had two bars and a restaurant and a kept pool overlooking the water with boat charters available. Once we park the car, we did not have to move it at all. We were within walking distance to everything.

Great Location in Mt. Dora
The hotel has an excellent location, we stayed before and love it! The main hotel is older, the tub was a bit peeling, and one of the mattresses was lumpy but when I told the desk, they were glad it was brought to their attention. They can't fix what they don't know is broken. The grounds are lovely and on the lake.

It was a wonderful couple of days away. Hotel is lovely. Staff very friendly and efficient. Only thing I didn’t like was the thin blanket on the bed.

The Lakeside Inn is a place for those who appreciate historical places. Beautiful grounds, pretty lake view, friendly staff, serene, walkable to other town shops, restaurants, and quaint coffee shops/bakeries. Full capacity, but not overwhelming - high end, yet reasonable.
