"The rooms are clean, but the smell is quite uncomfortable, which could make it difficult to fall asleep. The hotel staff, however, is very welcoming. I understand that it’s a historic building, but the renovations, at least in the room we stayed in, could definitely be improved—100% better—so that guests feel more comfortable. For that reason, I cannot recommend it to anyone. On a positive note, the grounds around the property are well-kept, and the location is ideal if you plan to visit the downtown area."

The location and atmosphere was amazing. Although I booked last minute and room choices were limited, we had a thoroughly enjoyable stay. The staff were very accommodating and kind, and the lobby was a great place to hang out in the morning with the complimentary coffee

The Lakeside Inn is a throwback to times when class and elegance took precedence over fast and furious. Our room was beautifully made up and we had a view of the sunset and the central grounds. The main lobby takes you back to the early 1900's with wood floors a beautiful fireplace, piano and multitude of comfortable chairs to sit, talk, read or just have quiet time. Why not 5 stars? The walls are thin, as we could easily hear the neighbor's conversation, and the water pressure was very low in the bathroom sink. The drain was also very slow. We brought these issues to the attention of management, and they immediately notified maintenance. Would we come back ABSOLUTEY YES!

Our room was fine and the bed was comfortable. Since it's a historic inn, we knew not to expect modern amenities such as mini-fridge or coffee pot. There were plenty of towels in the bathroom. The closet was huge which would be more useful for stays longer than our single night. Breakfast in the Beauclaire restaurant was tasty. We plan to return to Mt. Dora and will stay at the Lakeside Inn again.

The rooms were clean, the hostess for the dinning room and the bar area was not quite as helpful as she could be We had placed an order in the bar area but after 25 minutes the food was not ready. I told her our problem and she indicated that she could not help us. I found that extremely rude and not helpful in the least
