It was our 25th anniversary and spent a very quiet night in Mount Dora.

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.

The staff is friendly, but they possibly could use more help This was a nice weekend stay, unfortunately the hotel is getting a little more run down. Could use some new mattresses inside. I’m sure some of the rooms although Kristin. In housekeeping kept our room, tidy and clean while we were there. I do suggest breakfast and dinner at the hotel. It was one of our best meals.

Great weekend getaway. Easy access to everything in the area. Hotel is quaint and charming but definitely shows its age. It’s Florida so I expect bugs but they could pressure wash the buildings and do a deeper clean to clean up old bugs and it would look a lot better. Need more towels at the pool too.

I really wanted to love this place but it fell short. First the property itself outside is beautiful. However, the building and room was very musty smelling and there was glass in my room which I cut my foot. The restaurant was overpriced and couldn’t seem to cook my filet correctly, even after 2 tries. I will stick to a chain in the future.

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.

Charming picturesque vintage lakeside inn. Unfortunately, that meant really small room with an ac that cooled the room but left it very humid. Clean but old, our section was built in 1927, but no vent for bathroom and window painted shut in a century worth of flaked paint. Restaurant was under renovation but full menu was available in bar. Food was good but service was extremely slow and there were only two other tables of guests. Pool was ok, but lots of lakeside bugs and my wife got a spider bite. No frozen drinks at pool bar, had to walk to main bar inside the inn for pina colada’s. Staff was friendly but stay was just ok.

This was a lovely historical hotel. It had old time charm a step back into time feel. Rocking on the veranda and watching sunset was lovely. If you are looking for a 5 star hotel, this is not it and you don't want it to be. The rooms were adequate and had the old feel. The one thing I do want to note, getting into the tub it was slippery so beware. The Inn was close to everything. Walking on some of the streets in town were uneven and could be an issue for some. Took the sunset pontoon boat right from their dock and it was lovely.
