Great view nice location for visiting Mt Dora. Ac blew cold. Shower didn’t have hot water. Warm at best. Only complaint was there a group of six unsupervised kids in the pool all day Saturday during my stay. It made me leave the pool earlier than I wanted and not enjoy my visit. They were there at 1 pm when I was first there and still there at 630pm when I went back again. Aged 3 to 10 ish. Not sure if they were related to the bartender or were part of some day pass. What appeared to be their parent(s) were rotating adults sitting at bar all day ignoring the kids for the most part or the bartender who also occasionally yelled to the kids. The ten year old did his best to watch the other kids but shouldn’t have had to that. The paying guests shouldn’t have to experience that either. They were bugging other kids and families looking for attention going back and forth from sand to pool and cleaning off in the pool. Covered in sand (the younger ones). At times the young ones who couldn’t swim were jumping in the deep end. No adults inside pool area other than unrelated guests.

A beautiful property. Bathrooms need some improvements. Sink in our room was clogged and they couldn't fix it, very disappointing as we were three people in the room. I expected some sort of compensation for such an uncomfortable situation. The smell of water is NOT pleasent.

The place is great... sitting at side of the lake, with the charm of an old property. The room is not great, but clean and well maintained. We booked the suite at an extra cost, but not worth it (unless you need an extra person to sleep in the sofa): you will have an extra small room connected via the bathroom. Food was good at breakfast and dinner. Drinks were too soft.

Very quaint room and property. The lake was beautiful.
4.0
The room was lovely and had a huge bed with plenty of space in the room itself. It was charmingly decorated and the outside was very relaxing and fun to walk around. Very pretty scenery.
There were only a couple downsides. The biggest one was the lack of sound insulation in the room. You can hear absolutely EVERYTHING happening outside and in the hallway. Come 7am, you'll hear the sounds of people walking around and talking, so I hope you are an early riser. I wore earplugs and still couldn't get back to sleep.
The second problem was all the midges. They are perfectly harmless little things but will cover almost every surface they can find outside and try to fly into your face and mouth at any given opportunity.
But overall, if you prefer the quaintness and charm of historical hotels over the bigger chains, this one is certainly a great one to pick. The location is perfect and the view over the lake is stellar.

This is one of my favorite places in FL. This is an old grand hotel right on Lake Dora with beautiful views. The town is full of shops and restaurants. Because of the age of the hotel is does not have elevators and is not really handicapped accessible.

The Lakeside Inn is the only place I’ll stay when visiting Mount Dora. The grounds are immaculately kept and the staff are very courteous and helpful. They have their own restaurant, bar, and pool so you don’t even have to leave the hotel! At night, the deck and lighting by the lake are so romantic and serene. Thank you for making my weekend getaway so magical.

The hotel and grounds are beautiful, the rooms are spacious and very comfortable. The rug in our room needs to be redone. It did have some stains and looks a bit worn out. Other than that all else was awesome. The restaurant had delicious food. Walking steps from many restaurants and shops. Mount Dora like is stunning.

The truth is that if you want to stay here you must know that this is not a modern hotel, rather an old "lady" charming and historical. The rooms are small, showers small but it's ok for a couple of nights. The location is excellent, very clean and friendly staff
You just need to overlook many things and accept the "old lady's" charm as it is.

The property itself is so charming. The main hotel lobby is stunning. Staff is very friendly. We had lunch on the porch and the food was delicious and staff very accommodating. Our room was in a side building. Room size was ok. Bed was very uncomfortable and they used a twin sheet sideways on a double bed so no sheet on bottom of bed. Also, bed squeaked when you sat on it or turned over. Tv was so antiquated that we had to have someone from service have to come and explain remote. No guide button on remote . Plus tv picture was distorted. Anyone walking the hallway and talking could be heard in your room easily. The grounds were lovely and town very close by. We liked the ambiance of the hotel but they need to update beds, linens and tv

Great location. Staff in dining room and bar were wonderful. Wasn’t easy to secure a slightly late checkout. One day there wasn’t much hot water for a shower

Charming and full of character. My room had been renovated. The mattress could have been renovated as well, but it wasn’t. WiFi lacked web access. However, I truly enjoyed the stay and wholeheartedly recommend it.

Keeping in mind that this is the oldest hotel in Florida, the hotel had a slight sewage smell to the water but I found rgatvto be rhe same for tap water everywhere in Mt Dora. Iblive in South Florida where the water quality is excellent. This hotel is charming and historical. The setting and location cannot be beat. Right in downtown Mt Dora on a huge lake with a huge 1920s pool deck overlooking lake. Walking distance to everything. The staff was very welcoming and accomodating. The beds were comfortable and we had a king size bed with 8-10 pillows in the room. Definitely pricey though

Beautiful views of the lake from our room. Historic nature and natural beauty of the property. Interior rugs on our floor were dark in need of serious cleaning.

We love staying here. The staff were friendly but we found they do not know the area well. We asked for hiking and hiking trails and no one was able to help. We drove to a local bike shop for the information. Room had spiders and hot water was not properly working. Breakfast in the hotel was lacking. The table cloth was wrinkled and stained. Will we return? To the hotel, yes to breakfast- no. What I loved most is the hiring of the deaf and hard of hearing. This is most commendable.

Beautiful location. Extremely shabby property, badly in need of a deep cleaning and some basic updates.

Bushes rubbing against window sounded like screeching fingernails on a chalkboard all night long.
Bathroom door hinge was unbelievably loud.
There’s no way to use the bathroom without waking your spouse in the middle of the night.
Staff was informed of the issues. We received an apology.

We had an amazing time celebrating my birthday for 2 days at the Inn. We enjoyed the Sunday dinner and jazz group preforming that night. What a nice time. It would have been nice to have had an elevator. . .but hey -- we only stayed 2 days and it was OK. . .Great time and good personnel all over the property.

Great property and experience. We will be back.
