Good location but subpar accommodations
The receptionist at the front desk was very friendly and welcoming. The hotel was in a great location on a lake and right near downtown Mount Dora, however, the lighting in the room was very poor, there was a sag in the mattress, and the room had a strong musty odor. While I knew this hotel was “historic”, I didn’t realize how much the accommodations need to be updated when I booked my stay.
