Disliked: Room comfort
Charming picturesque vintage lakeside inn. Unfortunately, that meant really small room with an ac that cooled the room but left it very humid. Clean but old, our section was built in 1927, but no vent for bathroom and window painted shut in a century worth of flaked paint. Restaurant was under renovation but full menu was available in bar. Food was good but service was extremely slow and there were only two other tables of guests. Pool was ok, but lots of lakeside bugs and my wife got a spider bite. No frozen drinks at pool bar, had to walk to main bar inside the inn for pina colada’s. Staff was friendly but stay was just ok.

Historical building with amazing views and perfect location to walk to the heart of Mount Dora! Rooms towels and beddings were clean . Carpet in the room and walkways including steps need replaced or updated . Pool furniture terrible condition , was no towels by the pool. Personal slow to serve in restaurant, bartender was drunk that day ( memorial weekend) can be water offered by pool ( was very hot ) bar was slow service ( even though was not busy) Need better management. Not very pleasant experience for our 2 days to visit for the money we paid. We had better experience with local AIRBNBS

Love Mount Dora

The staff is friendly, but they possibly could use more help This was a nice weekend stay, unfortunately the hotel is getting a little more run down. Could use some new mattresses inside. I’m sure some of the rooms although Kristin. In housekeeping kept our room, tidy and clean while we were there. I do suggest breakfast and dinner at the hotel. It was one of our best meals.

I actually loved the history of this hotel, it was intriguing! It’s within walking distance to downtown, as well as the lake it’s situated on. Very intimate setting. I would definitely stay here again!!

Great weekend getaway. Easy access to everything in the area. Hotel is quaint and charming but definitely shows its age. It’s Florida so I expect bugs but they could pressure wash the buildings and do a deeper clean to clean up old bugs and it would look a lot better. Need more towels at the pool too.
