Best location in Mt Dora
We loved the Inn atmosphere. The location is perfect, sunsets, lakeside bar, live music, rocking chairs on porch. The food in the dining room was tasty and reasonable.
However, our room in the main building needed new carpet. Carpet in room and going up the stairs was filthy.
I am hoping it is scheduled for replacement. I think the rooms in the newer buildings might be much better.

Rooms are small but quaint.
Restaurant food leaves a lot to be desired.
Dinner lacked taste and Breakfast they were out of oatmeal ?
Grits, Biscuit and English were cold !
Breakfast was overpriced @ $39 for 2

We stay here every few months. Only downside is that the walls are very thin and you hear everything from the neighbors and the hallway. If you sleep soundly, you’ll be fine. It’s in an amazing location.

They still use metal keys, and my key did not work. I had to find a staff member to help me get in my room. The property has a lot of character, and the location is superb.
Really enjoyed the beautiful property. Shoutout to housekeeping who provided excellent service and handwritten welcome and goodbye notes. As a fellow hotel hospitality worker, I loved this personalized touch. Location was fantastic! Would definitely recommend staying here!
The Lakeside inn is located in a beautiful spot however the smell of mildew is very strong. Also the bed linens were quite worn and yellowed. The staff was warm & welcoming.
My new go-to favorite place. This is a gorgeous, historical hotel close in walking distance to everything Mount Dora has to offer! They even have a fantastic scavenger hunt you can do for a prize! Clean, elegant, beautiful, just plain perfect! Ask to play games on the garden lawn, too!
We only stayed for one night but we had a lovely time. We will definitely be back. It's an adorable town with an adorable hotel.

Lakeside is a charming 1883 inn overlooking the lake. The bedrooms are smaller but comfortable. The inn is not easily accessible for those who have mobility issues as there are stairs and no elevators. The staff were lovely
