This is a very old hotel that has very old designs (no elevators), But it is extremely charming and this is where we always stay when going to Mt Dora.

Lakeside Inn location is just the best for historic downtown Mount Dora visit. Yes its an old inn, but the charm can't be beat. We will say, thankfully, the king room we stayed in had a much more comfortable bed than the numerous others we have experienced, so that was a plus for these old bones. The dock has been rebuilt! Yeah! And we noticed the pool side bar was back in action, though our short stay this time did not allow us to try it out. Grounds continue to be beautifully maintained and the large porch provided a wonderful view.

The grounds of this property are beautiful. It's a historic hotel with beautiful oak trees, the pool facing the lake. We stayed in the Sunset cottage, pet friendly the stairs and hallways were really dirty and smelly. The carpets were black going up the stairs. There is also an additional pet fee of 75.00 unless it's a service animal. The rooms were clean but the bathroom sink was so small it looked more like a school water fountain. No mini fridge to keèp cold water or leftover food. Small tv in the room and bed was very hard.Very good location to stay in downtown Mt.Dora in walking distance to restaurants and shops.

Location and view

Loved Lakeside Inn. Very nice property overlooking the lake. Waterside Bar, Outside seating for all meals. Inside dining room and bar were wonderful. Staff completely attentive and friendly. Just overall, a very lovely experience. Would recommend

There are several beautiful buildings to this historic property and this was the first time I've stayed in the main hotel building. It was a disappointment. Unlike the other buildings there was no ice machine available, no refrigerator in the room, and the room itself was tiny and felt damp. There was one chair kind of blocked by a closet door. Not the experience I have come to expect from Lakeside Inn. Several times I requested a few extra hangars and they never arrived. Ice was available at the bar which doesn't open until 11am. I'll return but request to be in one of the newer (circa 1920's) buildings. Still a favorite.

Amazing stay, 10/10, demonstrating true hospitality the lakeside inn is truely a step back in time. Amazing staff and the rooms were way larger than expected. Will definitely be returning back to the inn very soon.

Amazing location, great staff. Exactly what should be expected for the price. Can’t wait for the next stay!

Beautiful grounds, lovely from the outside. Oy on the inside. Wow does this place need updated. The first room we were in was so bad. Carpet coming up everywhere, filthy unsalvageable carpet that is. Dirty glasses, grey hairs on the bed, it was so cramped you could barely turn around. Had to pay more for a bigger room, which was cleaner but again, wow, does it need updated. This isn’t a case of old charm, this is neglect. It’s a 140 year old building and it shows years of neglect. Carpets need pulled up, paint, I mean just those two cosmetic upgrades would go miles. The whole place smells of mold, mildew, musty. Feels like staying in someone’s attic. Such a shame because the surrounding area is just the cutest, walkable, restaurants, shops, beautiful lake. But it was so bad we chose not to stay our planned second night, we just could not stay in there another night. I question if all of these 10 star reviews actually stayed here. That said, the front desk staff is nice and all the other workers we encountered were very nice as well.

What a wonderful, historic building! The setting is perfect! The easy 2 minute walk to shops and restaurants in the charming town of Mt Dora made it a perfect place to stay!

This beautiful historic inn is well built and well-maintained. My room was clean and quiet and everything worked perfectly. I will stay there anytime I visit Mount Dora.

Great view of the lake while eating breakfast on the porch.

Great experience, beautiful charming hotel. Historic buildings, small rooms but plenty of character. Highly recommend.

Lake view is beautiful!
