Lakeside Inn

Enjoyed our stay. Lovely lake view.

Beautiful! I will say Natalie was the star of our visit.

The Lakeside Inn, Mount Dora has a lovely setting, well maintained and clean. The bedroom was ample, well furnished. The air conditioning had a remote control for temp setting. We arrived for breakfast at 10:20 it stops at 10:15 but the staff was gracious and arranged for us to be served. The inn is a historic site.

We will be back for sure! Loved the area and staff was amazing.

We will be back for sure! I would recommend it to everyone! It was so relaxing and peaceful. It was much needed.

I was nearby in Tavares visiting one of our sister companies for work and was booked to stay at the Lakeside Inn. Although it was only one night, my experience was like a mini vacation! Mount Dora is a very nice town to visit. When I arrived at the inn, staff was friendly and attentive! My room was clean and comfortable and the views at sunset were unbeatable!

The outside, grounds etc are beautiful. However the room accommodations are extremely uninviting and not very comfortable. The bathroom was not easy to function in and we could not adjust the water setting. You either scalded or frozen. The restaurant had delicious breakfasts and very friendly wait staff.

We arrived hot and tired after a long drive. But the charm of Florida's oldest constantly operating hotel soon had us relaxed and ready for a sunset cruise along the shores of Dora Lake to see vultures and egrets and a world class sunset. The hotel's beautiful antique furnishings and old fashioned courtesy and care made our two day stay feel like a genuine escape from crowds and hustle bustle. We enjoyed the nearby shops and restaurants, as well as the hotel's excellent food. A glass of wine on the veranda at sunset made for a magical evening. We took another cruise before we left, when we spotted turtles and an alligator sunning on a cedar log and many wonderful birds including a wood stork and a blue heron. It was a very special time.

Bathtub needs replacing pillows very uncomfortable.

Its a very beautiful place.

Classic hotel.would have liked a coffee / microwave maker in the room but over all would recommend staying. Breakfast was delicious!

This place is old just like me. I grew up in an old home, so I felt like I was back home again. Everything here was relaxing for me. In the evening the sunsets sitting by the lakeshore was so beautiful. It is not like the modern chain hotels don’t expect that, just expect this place to be memorable and unforgettable. And you’ll probably want to come back again.

This Inn is a step back to old Florida. Sitting on the veranda talking to other guests who equally enjoy relaxing conversation while looking out at the scenery of a manicured lawn and palm trees leading to a lake was just delightful. Liz, who helped us at arrival and departure was such a kind and helpful member of the staff. She engaged us in conversation and saw to it that we were all set in our rooms. She has wonderful people skills that made our visit all the more enjoyable. Morning coffee is served in the main lobby. Rooms were clean and comfortable. Be aware that there are stairs all around the property. If you plan a quick visit to Mt Dora, Lakeside Inn is a good place to stay for a couple of days to relax and enjoy a step back to a slower pace of life.

It was a cool location and absolutely wonderful staff and I mean everyone! The food was great and walking distance to all the shops and dinning. I will come back again.

Overall great experience. Amazing ambience!

The room was clean, comfortable. The staff was friendly. Loved the atmosphere, worth the stay.

The staff, the grounds, the atmosphere, absolutely amazing?!! Anytime we asked for anything we got it. Our room was always cleaned when we came back from neon out. It's your responsibility to make sure you put the sign on the door for housekeeping, but that's the way it should be! We went for relaxation and no hustle and Lakeside Inn delivered just that! I will go back again and again! Love the history, the staff and the meaning of all of it! Downtown was awesome also!
