Came to Mount Dora to experience all the Christmas lights in this quaint little town…read more We made reservations at the hotel and decided to have dinner at the hotel before viewing the lights. We ordered drinks and decided to try a couple of entrees. The kitchen did take their time to prepare our meals, but, we were not in any hurry after driving all afternoon. All our dinners were excellent. We also decided to try some of their desserts which were out of this world...great. Prices were reasonable and service was very good. I highly recommend dinner and dessert at the Lakeside Inn.

We spent three nights here last weekend. When checking in, after making a reservation for a "Pet"…read moreRoom, I received eye rolls and a warning when I asked for clarification of the language on the pet form. The form stated that we could not leave our 15 lb dog alone for extended periods. I asked if we could leave the room for meals and got a mean look and more eye rolls. Not a great start. If you don't want pets, don't say you can bring a pet and then charge a pet fee. The location is fabulous. That said, the exterior of each building is filthy. They have not been cleaned or painted for many years. The room has carpet from the 60's which was stained as well. Food in the dining room was average at best. The bartenders and servers were great. In the main dining room, we saw the "cockroach that devoured Cleveland!" In the same room, the split system air conditioner was leaking down the wall and onto the floor. Well, that is about as nice, and brief, as I can be. Good luck, folks!

My review is only for their conference rooms…read more I attended a baby shower at this hotel and it was being hosted in the conference room,I did not spend the night here or go to the front lobby but from looking at the hotel from out side it looks like it is maintained ok The conference room were the baby shower was that I attended was pretty small but we were able to fit probably about 20 people in it.

We spent one night at this Hampton Inn. It's located fairly close to several restaurants…read more Parking is only available on either side of the building, but there are side entries (not so easy to see). Hampton is trying to convert people away from using physical card keys to using a phone to enter your room. It didn't work for my husband. Our king room was adequate, with night stands on either side of the bed, with outlets available. The room included fridge, microwave, and coffee maker, plus large flat screen TV. There is vending and an ice machine on each of the 3 floors. The bathroom was equipped with a shallow tub and shower combination. There were plenty of towels, but they were on the stiff side. A hair dryer and box of tissues were well hidden in the vanity drawers. There were no towel racks, but there was a small hook near the tub. Oddly, there were 5 grab bars in our bathroom. The bathroom had been cosmetically renovated, especially around the vanity. Breakfast was so-so. Hot items included oatmeal, sausage, eggs, and potatoes. There were also mini-scones, bagels, a waffle maker, and accouterments. Seating is limited, and is essentially the lobby area. The upholstered surfaces are rather dirty. Given what we paid for our stay, we expected better overall.

Not pet friendly. The place is pretty clean and well maintained. It looks like the room was updated…read morerecently. Plenty of clean towels, kitchen is fully stocked, better than a hotel. The only pet peeve would be the sheets, they are polyester and they kept rolling down at night. They also produce static electricity and you get shiny sparks in the middle of the night. The location is great, walking distance from Donnelly park. Management was very accommodating. The place is advertised as pet friendly (some units) but it is not. If you have an overzealous dog that barks at the drop of a pin, this is not the place for you, we could hear other dogs barking in the pet friendly units as well. This is an old building so walls and floors are not soundproof. We could hear the other tenants yawning (if you have kids, not a place for you either. They will hear more than just yawning, if you know what I mean). So, if your dog barks at other tenant's voices and they leave early asking for a refund, you will be asked to pay for those missing days. So, not a pet friendly at all. Overall a good place to stay if you are an adult and don't mind noises, but don't bring your dog (or kids).

Choices are tea or coffee, with milk or cream, several choices of toast, a yogurt, fresh fruits and crispy bacon (a little too salty for our tastes) scrambled eggs and a French toast with apples.

The room was comfortable and tucked away at the carriage house near the rear of the property. Our only critique was the bathroom was pretty small, but certainly usable. This B&B is quiet, undoubtedly well-maintained, and a short walk from delightful restaurants and antique shops. The caretakers were polite and attentive and prepared a huge breakfast with fresh fruit, oven-baked french toast with homemade jams, among other dishes at request. They were also very accommodating to allow an early check-in due to travel constraints. For a taste of old-Florida in Mount Dora, don't look anywhere else.

My husband and I decided to head to Mount Dora for a one night getaway. We stayed in Mount Dora one…read moreother occasion over a decade earlier. We like the quaint area and small town feel. We also like to walk around the area and try out the food spots. They have an outdoor market on Sunday. We stayed at this lovely bed and breakfast. We ended up being the only guests staying there. We had the entire house to ourselves. The room was antique but well maintained. The bathroom was updated and the water was warm with great pressure. The bed was comfortable. We did watch a movie on the small television; and there was an issue with the television, but the host fixed it. The host over the Inn were pleasant and welcoming. They live on-site. They suggested a couple of places in town. The bed and breakfast is located within walking distance of a lot of sights and restaurants. The breakfast was cooked to order as we were the only guests that day. It was delicious, served on-site, and the perfect amount of food. After flipping through photos from over a decade earlier, I realized this was the same location we stayed at over a decade ago. At that time, it had a different owner, and we used a Groupon to cover the costs. We would definitely stay again! It was a great price for the value, cleanliness, and hospitality. Thanks!

I always love the welcoming style of a bed n breakfast, hotels are a little cold and harsh feeling to me. This is a gorgeous home, you'll feel like you're staying in an old mansion, the parking is in the driveway so navigating to your room is like walking up to your house. The rooms and furnishings are gorgeous and classically decadent. Although vintage nothing feels worn or old, everything's in great shape, well taken care of and very stylish. It was easy to see and feel how wonderful this location is, but what we didn't expect was the phenominal service. They do not skimp on the breakfast, the options are tasty, decorative, well thought out, and fantastically balanced. From the colors to the ingredients it was a joy to view and consumed. We stayed the night at a friends for one of the nights and made sure we ran back for the breakfast (and we are not morning people!). They make you feel so cared for and we left with so much joy in our hearts. I'm very grateful for them. Cheers to Sandy and Joe! You have done a wonderful job of making an exceptional place feel extra special.

Clean rooms, comfortable beds and a friendly staff. I refer to it as the "Old Pumpkin" as it is the color of an old pumpkin. On the outside it is pumpkin orange and inside the rooms are a Squash/yellowish color like the inside of a pumpkin. LOL! It is my preferred place to stay when I visit and highly recommend it to those that want to stay in a comfortable, safe and budget friendly place while visiting the area. They have a complimentary simple breakfast offering in the office in the mornings and it is "Service Dog" friendly, which is most important to me. Many great restaurants have recently opened that a very close too.
