The perfect place to stay when visiting Mount Dora! The staff was hospitable and friendly...the atmosphere nostalgic and charming...I slept like a baby and ate like a queen! Poolside bar, lakeside view, gorgeous sunset, Adirondack chairs by the lake, historical photos telling the story of this wonderful property. The location is perfect right on the edge of the picturesque lakeside... More

The charm of the Lakeside Inn is the historic history of the Inn and town. Our beautiful room overlooked the lake and even had a private stair to the pool area. We picked this retreat to just relax and enjoy the resort. The pool is beautifully kept and the grounds are well maintained. Evenings we would sit with a glass... More

My family and I have vacationed many times at the Lakeside Inn in Mt. Dora. Our experience is always wonderful from the fastitiously clean rooms to the sumptuous dishes served at their restaurant to the convivial staff who are always ready to serve their clients. The swimming pool was clean and well maintained and what a view!!! Do yourself a... More

This historic inn, built in 1886 has the best location in town. Set high on a hill, overlooking the lake, the view from the front porch, sitting in a rocking chair, is worth every penny; but stay in the "off-season", like we did, and it is a bargain! Yes, the rooms are small, and the bathrooms don't have any counters,... More

This place is a dump. The rooms are small and musty. I reserved a king room well in advance, but when I checked in, all they had was a room with 2 double beds. The 2nd night they told me they could put me in a king, but would have to "(tick) off someone else". I accepted! The bathrooms are... More

The staff moved only half of our luggage though. Both rooms were very small, and the bathrooms were disgusting! The decor in the rooms were tacky and old (not... More

Last weekend we stayed at the Lakeside Inn at Mount Dora with friends. The inn was constructed in 1883 and has survived for 129 years. We found the rooms to be clean. The bathrooms are dated, but it added to the charm of the inn. We are all use to staying in new modern hotels but at times it is... More

We had 4 ladies stay for a 4 day weekend at the Lakeside Inn in Mt. Dora, FL. It's a charming hotel built in 1883 located directly on a lake in Central Florida. The furnishings are comfortable though not modern by any standard. The decor is simple but it brings you to a by-gone era where you can relax down... More

Beautiful location and very historic. Checked three rooms, all were filthy and worn. Portable A/C with hose out of window. Besides a new coat of paint on the exterior not a single dime was invested on the inside. When we got back after a snack at 8:30 PM the bar was already closed - but the bartender showed us the... More
