Great location, just okay rooms
You are definitely paying for the amazing location and the historical charm. It is within walking distance of downtown Mount Dora and on the lake which is great. The rooms definitely show wear, the bathrooms require multiple flushes. Some of the quirks are charming such as using an actual key to get in the doors and the old time bathrooms. But mostly just seems like benign neglect to the room. Especially for the price you are paying. Would be more comfortable and have more amenities and cheaper at a Fairfield inn, would just not be as conveniently located.

I booked a stay for 3 nights nights for a family of four. I understand that this is a historic hotel however the conditions inside the room is very poor. The carpet is extremely old , sticky and even wrinkled. The little furniture there is, is very old and wobbly . I got a standard room with two double beds. Only 3 drawers for cloths and one small night table drawer , no chair, sofa or desk . I stayed in the gables building perhaps the other buildings are better. The shower had very low water pressure and the room very noisy. The beds were lumpy and linens extremely old . For the good , everything outdoor is fantastic . Very beautiful. The boat tour is great and they let you bring in drinks. Dinning is plentiful and walking distance. Too bad the rooms are not good.

Wonderful location
Beautiful property, very historic and beautiful from the outside. I think the inside needs work to be more comfortable and still keep its charm. Room was musty, air was loud, absolutely no counter space in the bathroom and the bedding needed upgrading. It’s the second time we have stayed…can’t beat the location and views!

Our first trip to Mount Dora, and we were extremely impressed with both the town and the Lakeside Inn. This will be our go-to weekend getaway going forward, thanks to the great location on the lake and the great facilities at the Inn itself. Charming is the best word to describe the hotel and the town. Highly recommended.
