My daughter team stayed at hotel I rented a room and sent with someone else The staff was very helpful getting the room set up so the other mom could check the girls in

I called 2 days before to double check and everything was fine but when they got there the guy tells them we need the credit card and id, which I had already emailed after talking to him a few minutes he figured it out The girls were disappointed with pool as it only went to their waist

Carlisa Harper

This is the worst experience I have ever had at a hotel This doesn’t not even deserve a one first of all during the week of March 2nd I called down to the front desk at 8:00pm to tell them that the toilet overflowed and need to be fixed The receptionist tells me that she has a plunger and some towels that I can come get and to basically plunge the toilet your self

I am like wow I paid 350 for three nights for this trashy hotel she did not even offer me to get another room with working supplies that is the most god awful thing you can tell you customers I will never stay at this hotel ever again the worst experience ever

We stayed here to celebrate my best friends 50th birthday It was a couples getaway and we stayed in the windmill cottage This was my first time my husband and I visited Mount Dora

My best friend and her husband visit regularly but it was their first time staying here First off Gwendolyn and her husband Dennis are simply terrific! Very accommodating and beyond helpful The cottage was spotless and so comfortable They always had the fridge stocked with whatever drinks we wanted The breakfast was AMAZING I didn’t want it to end We cannot wait to come back and stay here

Brad

Sitting here relaxing by the pool in perfect weather with a breeze just enough to gently give the windchimes some attention  I vary watching the squirrels, watching the original windmill spin and turn,  or the small ripples on the pool  I’ve only arrived 30 minutes ago and I’m instantly relaxed after 6 hours of traveling

  Mt Dora is already a magical place and Grandview adds to that it’s own its own enchantment  I’m so happy I was lucky enough to stay here while visiting friends just down the streetI’m home now and was just thinking,the proprietors were so nice and welcoming There is no way for me to fully communicate how special I believe this B&B to be As I looked around the property, every bauble, lamp, and piece of furniture brought to mind how much love and attention has been put into this historical wonder It is astounding to think how much work a place like this would take to keep at this high a level of polished, thoughtful, yet comfortable vacation excellenceThe breakfasts were wonderful and they work hard to accommodate as many dietary needs as possible You will certainly not go hungry Also, worth noting is its all locally sourced farm to table where possible The bed in my room was so comfortable, I got some of the best sleep while staying here I also enjoyed talking with some of the other guests who were regulars I hope to be back soon to this special B&B Oh! And I should visit my friends again tooThank you again for the stay Grandview!

There is plenty of charm to this hotel and a real taste of “old Florida” And the views of Lake Dora are fantastic from the InnIf you’re looking for modern amenities though in your room, like a microwave or mini fridge, a nice-sized TV or even an enclosed toilet tank (instead of exposed plumbing) to come standard, you’ll need to manage your expectations

The most modern thing in the room was the super quiet, super cooling A/COverall we enjoyed our stay The serving staff at The Beauclerc and Tremain’s Tavern were excellent and the food was great Seriously, portions were big, very fairly priced and even the salmon we had was perfectly cooked And you will not find a better location within walking distance for all that the historic downtown district has to offerAreas for improvement:- We requested a mini fridge by phone days ahead of time only to find no note for it in our reservation I suppose we saved the $5/day charge which seems a little nickle-and-dime like in the first place, but the whole thing was handled poorly by the front desk- The mildew around the door frame inside the closet was just plain gross and needs work- The pool bar was not open due to staffing shortages Would have enjoyed that- Trying to book a boat tour through the hotel website needs even more in your face explanations that it means nothing unless you call the boat tour operator directly to confirm Really, why bother to have it on the site otherwise

Gretchen Bennett

Our room facing the lake was clean and very welcoming! The staff were very attentive and happily greeted you! The piano playing superb! My only complaint was 2 days in a row (and we were the some of the first guests) at lunch and dinner the next night they were out of a certain soup! Dinner we ordered the Brie with crackers and she came out with the Brie and dinner rolls saying that they didn’t have any crackers! We will been coming back as the beauty of this old place in and out are exquisite! But I will be bring my own crackers!❤️😂

Kristy Burns

I usually give good reviews The two stars is for the staff who have been kind My room is old, gross and overpriced

Don’t walk around barefoot Your feet will be dirty and sticky The lock on the door doesn’t work and neither does the toilet flush well I am next to some noisy passage at the top of the stairs I am currently being forced to hear the worst wedding DJ music permeate the walls At what point do we move past Sir Mix A Lot’s “ I Like Big Butts” and “Celebrate Good Times”? So, if you are coming for a wedding, make sure to hit up the bar so the room doesn’t offend at the end of the night and DO NOT CRASH ON YOUR FRIENDS FLOOR! Ew! If you are not coming for a wedding, there are some bed and breakfast places in the area that I am sure are quieter, cleaner, and provide more for your money It does get quiet after 10pm and the mattress was soft but judging the bedding and flooring, who knows how old the mattress may be I try not to think about it The grounds are nice and I did not try the food so I have nothing to offer on that score

Rebecca Gaconnet

We were so pleased with our room Really comfortable bed, lovely pillows, and that cute little efficiency kitchen We didn’t need that for our one night visit, but will definitely keep the place in mind should we ever need a longer stay

Breakfast choices and area were wonderful A beautiful arrangement with lots of seating options for individuals or groups

Jenny Lawson

It was an overall great stay! It was clean, the rooms were nice, and the workers were polite I just wish the pool hadn’t closed at 8:30 That’s kind of early

When you’re on vacation you’re busy doing stuff all day, it’s nice to come and unwind in the pool, but it was always closed, unfortunately! We did get to swim once, it was nice

DJ S

Upon entering the day to come to the hotel it was catastrophic traumatic uneventful frustrating and totally disorganized Nothing was done right the way it should have been done But the manager tried everything he could to rectify the situation

After driving 6 hours frustrated anxious and tired with an elderly woman and a service dog it was very difficult for me to calm down Mind you I had gotten lost for an hour and 45 minutes because nobody knew how to explain how to get there to the hotel from where I was at No matter how much I was explaining myself to them where I was at I was not getting proper articulate thorough directions One of the employees kept hanging up on when I asked how do I get there and he didn’t know and then associate female did not know Which was creating more anxiety because I wanted to get in there freshen up and lay down I said how come you don’t know how to give directions which I found out later they were new people Instead of putting a manager on the phone to direct me it just became worse in an escalated By the time I got to the hotel more issues arose that I almost didn’t even say there that night I was ready to sleep in my car because of the battles that somebody else created before coming to the hotel Which one major one said I didn’t have a reservation but I had a reservation number The manager did everything he could to call me down but I was not about to calm down because I was just too tired and overloaded which nobody seemed to understand Make a long story short cuz this is a long one the end the manager of the hotel ends up fixing my reservation and my rate the way it was supposed to be originally The front desk personnel made up for whatever I was going through the breakfast the room and the accommodations help me to slowly get back to my rational self I was pretty angry and disgusted considering what I was encountering I left the front desk and tip hospitality tip which I always do when I visit a Marriott hotel This place was difficult to find cuz the road maps were two different zip codes and two different areas My GPS was telling me one thing and these guys were telling me something else I had a long conversation with the manager and he said he would fix the problem so the sort of thing would not happen again He promised to stay on top of it and the training would be better considering there was a new hotel and more training needed to be installed It’s in a good area It’s close to all the essentials things that you might need while traveling I hope that nobody has to go through what I went through because in the 25 years I’ve been a member I have never experiences in my entire time visiting Marriotts My mother and my daughter were severely affected by this as well as myself medically speaking I highly recommend you do not deal with reservations if you’re going to make arrangements to say it’s this hotel please deal directly with the manager himself then you know nothing will go wrong Thank you for taking the time to read this and you all have a nice day

Van-Anh Le

No complaints about this hotel Breakfast offers a great selection with two different flavors of waffles you make on the spot, several different juices, different cereals, fruits, baked goods, and the proteins are slightly different each day Super friendly workers between those who serve breakfast, those who are at the front desk, and those who clean the rooms

Your standard Holiday Inn Express & Suites Good breakfast, friendly staff and comfortable enough bed The size of the room was decent and the area seemed nice enough

I will say this hotel appeared to be older and in need of some renovation or deep cleaning I noticed multiple stains in my room on the carpet and furniture Room 218 needs a little work

Simpson Bed & Breakfast met every expectation plus some My husband, teenage son and I stayed in Bob’s room and it was perfect I am a huge fan of small details and I was extremely impressed

To the disposable cups in the bathroom for mouthwash, to the extra towels and robes, to the snacks and water provided in the kitchenette, everything lead to us having a fantastic stay The king size bed was comfortable and the room was extremely clean The location couldn’t be better We parked down the street at the public parking garage for free Would highly recommend and can’t wait to come back

Christina Roldan

Truly a hidden gem within Mt Dora and Central Florida as well! The Simpson BnB has a cozy home feel (each room has its own theme named after a family member) while not compromising any brand name hotel’s standards of excellence (beds are great)! Would 10/10 recommend staying here if you are looking to get away from your stereotypical hotel and have the real, small town experience in the heart of Mt Dora

Tina H

I never do reviews, but anyone that likes super clean and comfortable accommodations, like myself, will want to know about Simpson’s B & B The initial communication with management was beyond my expectations Very prompt and informative replies

Check-in and out process very quick and simple Wonderful information in the room providing contact information and local events They’ve already thought of everything for you, giving you privacy and options We were impressed with Cody’s on 4th (the included breakfast) The sheets felt great slipping into them, the towels were plush, and I have never felt more comfortable putting my clothes in drawers and utilizing kitchenware to prepare our own foods Again, I never do this but could go on and on Truly look forward to another visit in this fantastically located B & B Tina H

The old man at the boat morage is a real jerk My best friend lives there and I went fishing there at the dock was asked to leave I was astonished

I’ve helped him with him putting in boat and everything I even pick up trash when I’m there I don’t hurt anyone fishing there I also love talking to the residents and tell them how to fish Been fishing there for years The old guy is a real jerk! I honestly love this place but he ruins it for everyone

turquoisesky

Originally to stay six months, a job offer in another county led us to reduce our stay to a month They have some of the best sites we’ve been to, as they are concrete and large (room for your unit and vehicle), with plenty of room between neighbors, great roads, beautiful landscaping, and good water pressure One of the nice things about the park is that they require folks to keep the outside of their rv’s clean

With such a huge place and the weather being brutally hot, they mow and trim different areas on different days, but they do get around to the whole park eventuallyThe WIFI is good, with many repeaters throughout If one needs cable for long-term stays, they must contact a local provider for installation For short term, the WIFI was fine for catching up on the news and weather with our internet tvWe aren’t boaters, but if you are, you are in luck Access to Lake Harris is right by the office We did not use the laundry or bath house, so we cannot comment on those Nearby (as in a mile or two) is a Publix Supermarket for great food, gas stations, barber shops, and other convenience stores to make life easy instead of driving for milesPark is on a hill (this is Florida hill country!) so nice breezes are found in the early morning and late afternoon Perfect for outside coffee or an evening wind downSome sites are satellite friendly, some are shaded, so be sure to inquire about what type of site you needAll in all, a great place Very quiet residents and for the most part, very little traffic noise from US 19 Very easy to get out on the highway at the intersection with a red lightThe staff is cheerful, efficient, and the office is open seven days a weekThanks, everyone!

Cynthia Laughrun

We enjoy our stay here at Fisherman’s Cove Have come to know the staff who are friendly and efficient For any negative reviews, concerning the bathrooms, we understand that there cannot be a 24/7 oversight and clean up for these

Our help has children and an 8 hour work time What happens after hours is unavoidable muddy feet, doors left open, etcThis is a large place and is maintained well!! We full time and love it here!!!

Perfect Location and Excellent Service for my Birthday Party Concert Fundraiser!We hosted my birthday party concert fundraiser, Rock Stars for Lake Cares, in April 2022 at the Key West Resort on Lake Dora The rooftop event space was perfect! Sam, Sydney, Alex and the maintenance team were responsive and helpful Our guests loved the lake and sunset views from the rooftop

We were able to extend a blocked room rate to our guests, which was nice The band had access to electrical outlets and all went well from a sound standpointWe had several guests stay at the resort and they were happy with the accommodations They have a pool with a lake view and a restaurant, The Dog House, on the property, which is great Our catering and event team said everything went smoothly, and the guests are still talking about this wonderful venue and how much fun they had at the event!

The staff here is amazing! Anna, Sydney and Sam were so accommodating! Not only did they go out of their way for us we watched them deal with some of the rudest people and they dealt with it flawlessly You can’t please everyone but these girls sure did try One morning I was sitting in the breakfast area which by the way is quick and easy

They also have alot of different options Well as we ate breakfast Miss Anna was running around making sure everyone had what they needed and was super sweet We had a great stay and will definitely come bk because of the staff! They made our stay so much better

Lourdes Yvette

Sydney the front desk associate was amazing! She accommodated our needs and went above and beyond her responsibilities My AC wasn’t working when we arrived, she immediately had maintenance take care of the issue, though it never worked, she switched my room and put me into a better location with a better view of the lake Sydney also gave us great recommendations on food and must do while in town locations

The town is amazing and the people are great! This location is conveniently located near great food and drinks! Will visit again! Omg the rooftop view is to die for

Not the nicest Hampton Inn we have stayed in, but clean and functional for one night It’s approximately 10 minutes from downtown Mt Dora Breakfast was good, hot food and your traditional breakfast cereals

We enjoyed the hot homemade oatmeal! Overall, the place needs a little TLC outside Pool has no privacy from the parking lot and no shade (no umbrellas either)

Ron McCracken

We used this Hampton Inn as the base for our annual family reunion in July 2022 The general manager, Robert Milsap, helped us organize a room block and a meeting room for our five day four night event The logistics were flawless; and the on-site staff friendly and accommodating

This property is not brand new, but is exceptionally well-maintained Kudos to the staff responsible for breakfast A reasonable assortment of hot and cold items were in plentiful supply, in a neat and clean environmentWe will use this property again!

Tina K. Jones

Probably the worst experience I have ever had at a Hilton Property I stood in front of the clerk for a good 5 minutes before he even looked up and greeted me There were no other guests at the desk! Then, the room was so incredibly small and cramped

To make matter worse, we found little black specs in our beds (my sister took pictures) When I complained about our room, nothing was even attempted to make our stay any better The only comment I got was “we are completely full”, and the parking lot was maybe 1/4 full So, I know that was just a “put off” I used points for this stay which really is aggravating, as I feel extremely ripped off Hilton corporate should really take a look at this property as it does not meet the Hilton brand, in any way To add insult to injury, I received a “form email” from the hotel customer service person “apologizing and hoping my next stay would be better” with no attempt to satisfy an uphappy loyal Hilton Honors member I emailed them back asking to speak with the GM of the local hotel but no response has been received

I made reservations 2 months before our stay Because it said that we needed to get there before 6pm, I contacted the owner to ensure that someone would be there for us because we were going to get there after 6pm I called them, left them messages, emailed them, texted them and no answer

I ended up calling the chamber of commerce who got in touch with them and then finally they responded So I was relieved A couple of days before our arrival, the hostess contacted us to give us instructions on what to do after our arrival past 6pm We got there at 6:30pm and everything was in great order Clean room, fully stocked kitchen, comfortable bed and beautiful place Even the outdoor chairs and hammocks were clean from bird stuff and fruits from the trees Very clean Walking distance from downtown (15 miles) So we got our exercise Everything was exceptional The hostess was available through text so it was almost self service but with NO problems at all They only thing we didn’t like was that the walls were too thin and could hear entire conversations from next door and upstairs Would stay there again

Jason Sizemore

We have already had an amazing experience with the new owners of the Heirloom Estate and we haven’t even stayed here! Our sis and bro-in-law stayed this past weekend for their ten year wedding anniversary The new owners went out of their way to help us to have champagne on ice and chocolates waiting in the room upon arrival It was a great surprise and a huge hit! So while we haven’t stayed here yet, we definitely will! Thank you again to the new Heirloom Estate owners for your help in making a special day even more special!

Mirta De La Torre

Kim and her husband were wonderful hosts, the breakfast was delicious! The house has a lot ofhistory and ambiance The rooms were very clean We went as a group of 8 (4 couples, friends since grade school)

Mt Dora is a beautiful little town and we enjoyed our stay at this bed and breakfast We definitely recommend Farnsworth House! Thank you Kim for the great hospitality!Mirta and Phil De La Torre

My wife and I had a marvelous time getting away at the Adora Inn! John and Arthur were warm and friendly, our room was beautiful, and the food was out of this world! The Inn has the perfect combination of modern and cozy, it’s not decorated with outdated tacky decor like other bed and breakfasts I’ve stayed at, which I very much appreciate!Adora Inn is within walking distance of dozens of restaurants and shops, which is very convenient I cannot recommend this place enough! It is a must in Mount Dora!

We enjoyed a fantastic weekend at this cozy and quaint B&B whose owners, John and Arthur, are wonderful hosts It is located within a short walking distance of the village center where you’ll find most of the restaurants, shops and tourist attractionsMount Dora is what much of Florida used to be years ago and the Adora Inn enhances that experience

I believe it was built around 1916, but it now offers spacious rooms with modern amenities and comfortable bedsJohn and Arthur are chefs and their culinary skills are on full display as breakfast is served Although they will prepare dinner for guests upon request, they’ll also recommend local restaurants that they’ve tried themselves We visited with another couple and we all shared some wine and great conversations with John and Arthur in the beautiful common areas of the home It was like spending a weekend with friends We highly recommend the Adora Inn to anyone visiting Mount Dora

What a fantastic place the Adora Inn It is a perfect place for a weekend or a couple of days get away We stayed in one of the 3rd floor lofts, it was very spacious for a couple and with no TVs in any of the rooms it is a true disconnect

The early 1900 built house has a very homey feel to it and has everything you need for your stay John and Arthur are an absolute delight as hosts and will make you feel right at home not to mention they will whip you up an amazing breakfast The house is in an absolutely fantastic spot with less than a 5 minute walk to all the shops and restaurants in the historic downtown area We cannot wait until our next visit here in the future

Our stay was incredible Our golf views were exceptional The staff were extremely attentive and friendly

Our breakfast had relaxing views and the food was decent for the the price We had great 🍮 at El Conquistador restaurant and the waiter, a young man with a cute southern accent, couldn’t be more attentive and kind The decor and the ambiance of the place is adorable My son enjoyed the amenities and the rounds of golf Very challenging and fun course I can’t wait to go there again!

We had the pleasure of staying at Mission Inn while attending a British Car Event in April The mix of old historic Florida with modern day conveniences was outstanding and welcoming Walking the grounds was like a day at the botanical garden

Hard to describe the beauty and ambiance of this magnificent and almost magical location It was a experience no one should miss Now, I need to find a way to golf this one of a kind golf course Maybe my next visit?

I can’t say enough about our experience at the Mission Inn Resort! We had our wedding at one of their venues in December and it was one of the most delightful experience I’ve ever had Jessica from the mission inn weddings sales team could not have been more helpful and transparent on the experience we would have They helped us with great vendors and had everything in order with the hotel and resort to make sure our family was well accommodated

They helped us meet Kelsey, our wedding coordinator, who was our superhero leading up to the big day Kerry our catering manager went above and beyond with her staff to make sure everything went off without a hitch She employed a wonderful staff who were understanding and responsive to everything we addressed I would recommend this resort and experience to everyone and look forward to my next stay!
