Beautiful grounds. Lovely historic hotel. Needs an update inside. Carpets and furniture are in really bad shape. Great view and location for a visit to the lovely town of Mt. Dora.

We were visiting friends in the Mt Dora area and they told us to try this historic beauty. The building was lovely. Staff was welcoming and efficient. The room was fine for an old structure with beautiful decor. Unfortunately, the floor in our room along with the bed and even the sink faucets were squeaky which got annoying. I guess old allows squeaky but it got annoying. We did not try the restaurant because we were visiting our friends but it looked lovely and you could dine indoors or on their front porch with a view of Lake Dora. We would stay here again on a future visit. Only reason for my 4 rating was the squeaks but probably no way around that on a wood structure this old,

Beautiful, old hotel right on the lake in Mount Dora. She was showing her age but her charm made up for it. I was looking forward to the pool, unfortunately the water was the same temp at the air. Hot. 🥵 not refreshing at all. It looks like they have started a pier renovation/ improvement, but they seemed to have stopped mid way through, such a shame as it looks like it will be lovely when/if finished. It's within walking distance to everything in town so that is also nice. Despite the bathroom door not having any hardware, the water barely trickled out of the sink and the creaky bed, I would still stay here again

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.

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.

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

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!!
