No heat, no elevator but plenty of dirt and mold.

After check in we were told carry our luggage across their drive, go down a hill and in a side entrance of a different building. We were pu in Rm 7525 which they said was on 2nd floor without any elevators. Do to the age of the building and the hill it was built on, we had to carry all our belongings up 3 flights of steps and down 1 flight of steps to reach our room at the back end of the building. When I explained about a recent hip and knee replacement later on and no elevator, we were advised that since we used a second party to book the room (Hotels.com) that they were responsible for making special accommodations. During a record cold spell here in Florida, our room did not have functioning heat despite 3 separate calls to and visits from the young woman working the lobby check in. We were told it would take 20 minutes for the wall unit to come on. We were offered additional blankets on our last call to add to the 2 sheets, 2 blankets and a bedspread that we had added to the bed. My wife kept mentioning a musty smell in the room. The blinds on the windows couldn’t be open by the pull cords, but when I manually opened them we found the source of the smell. All the single pane windows were dripping g wet on the inside, the wooden frames were wet and filthy with dirt and mold. This is what a couple of hundred dollars got us at the Lakeside Inn. I asked the front desk to notify the manager who was not available. Not acceptable.

We were not good enough

This hotel is not worth staying at. Although the view is very nice the hotel front desk staff is a nightmare. They were curt and rude. Our stay was interrupted by a VERY LOUD wedding party. At 11:00 pm and 2:00 AM. When we told the front desk they couldn't care less. It was obvious that the other party were far more important than us. Do not waste your money or time here.

So this property is really lovely from the outside, we stayed in the 2nd floor of the adjacent building built in 1923. Cleanliness of the room was poor, carpet was dirty, bed looked as if someone didn't change the sheets. Staff was really pleasant, and the closeness to Mt. DORA downtown made up for this a bit. Its not worth what they want to charge you for a stay.
