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

Outside is gorgeous. Inside…nope! Old carpet, beds, linens. Dust and dirt caked around bed on carpet. Hair in tub, shower. Paper thin walls/adjoining doors permit one to hear EVERY. SINGLE. NOISE. We had our 11 yo w/us. Couple next door were up all night. Use your imagination. Never again!

We enjoyed our stay, feeling a bit sad to leave, the staff was professional, kind, helpful, and gentle in goodness provides service like family would give. So much to see and do, we are really considering coming for a longer stay. There was Music, Lights, Families, happy greetings, strolling in the evenings, that carefree feeling of belonging.
